Introduction
Thank you for choosing Atlantic's Colorfalls. The Colorfalls are designed for use in
Pond-free and fountain applications and install easily into most retaining walls. Colorfalls
feature low energy LED lights, an extra-long reinforced weir, and an interior baffling system
that produces a single, lighted water sheer.
Prior to Operation and Installation
Caution:
• DO NOT operate this product under any condition other than those for which it is
specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead to electrical shock, product
failure, or other problems.
• Follow all aspects of electrical codes when installing the Colorfalls.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a 110 volt receptacle protected by a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Colorfalls are designed for use in Pond-free and fountain applications. Colorfalls are not
intended for use in water gardens or any pond with plant or aquatic life.
The Colorfalls must be accessible for service and maintenance. Installing the Colorfalls so
that the entire body is removable is highly recommended. Do not glue the cap stones
above the Colorfalls or permanently mortar the Colorfalls in place.
The Colorfalls can support 40 lbs. per linear foot (e.g. a 24" Colorfalls can support 80 lbs.).
If the weight on the weir exceeds that amount, you will need to provide a lintel support
for the added weight. This support should still make contact with the weir to prevent it
from shifting.
See the chart below for the recommended placement of the Colorfalls above the basin or
pool. If the placement of the Colorfalls exceeds the recommended height, water loss will
increase significantly due to splash and wind drift.

Installation of Colorfalls
The opening in the wall where the
Colorfalls will be placed is important to
the function of the Colorfalls. If it is not
level and free of debris the Colorfalls will
not function properly. The base of
Colorfalls body (A) as well as the bottom
of the spillway lip (B) must be supported
by the opening in which it is placed. The
top side of the opening (C) must also be
in contact with the Colorfalls to prevent
it from shifting. See Figure 1 for the proper
sizing of the opening for the Colorfalls.
No more than one inch of spillway
should extend out from the wall.
