PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDE
GENERAL PERFORMANCE GUIDE
- This waterfall must be installed as specified by these instructions.
- It is recommended to keep the unit in the packaging until the site is prepared for installation.
- CMP Brilliant Wonders waterfalls are available in varying sizes. The units use 1.25 gallons of water per inch of waterfall per minute. Please size your water pump accordingly.
- Reference Table 1 when choosing the correct pumps to use.
PROTECTING DURING INSTALLATION
- Each Brilliant Wonders LED Waterfall 2 is shipped with a debris guard for the water outlet, and for the water inlet.
- These prevent debris from entering and damaging the waterfall unit during installation.
- Debris guards should not be removed until the waterfall is ready to run.
- Do not leave the waterfall in direct sunlight. This can cause permanent damage and warping to the waterfall unit. (see label)

FOUNDATION GUIDE
FORMING THE FOUNDATION
INLET SPACING
Figure 3: Concrete Forming Guide (12″-36″)
Figure 4: Inlet Spacing Guide
- The wall installation is very similar to the concrete/ substrate installation without the forming process. The dimensional requirements for installation will be the same.
- The lip of the waterfall must be fully supported by the poured substrate (usually gunite or concrete). It is also recommended that steel rebar be used to further support the waterfall inside the substrate.
- When forming the area for installation, note that plumbing and electrical notches must be provided (Figure 3 and 4).
- The waterfall must be installed with a minimum of 1/8” overhang from the finished surface (Figure 5). Mortar or thinset should be used to secure the waterfall in place.
FOUNDATION & PLUMBING
SETTING THE WATERFALL
For standard pool applications, the waterfall must be installed before the
deck and coping. Place the waterfall in the notches cut in the bond beam or
wall application. Utilize substrate material such as tile, thinset or mortar
to make sure that the waterfall is level
with the top of the upper edge of the bond beam.
Fill the gaps around the unit with concrete or similar material in preparation
for the tiles or other material. Cut the tile/material to fit under the lip of
the waterfall using thinset or similar substance to secure in place. Ensure
the waterfall is level front to back and across the length of the fall.
Complete the electrical installation and plumbing before covering the top
deck.
When installing the final fascia to the wall whether using tile, stone or
other substrate, do not cover the access doors. These will be required for
servicing the unit. (Figure 6)
Figure 6: Installation of the waterfall
unit.
RECOMMENDED PLUMBING FOR THE WATERFALL
- Use multiple pumps when installing multiple waterfalls.
- The dedicated pump should be plumbed with a minimum of 2″ PVC pipe.
- VGB compliant suction covers must be used, and they must be installed 18” above the bottom of the pool.
- A filter strainer is required between the pump and the waterfall.
- Install the supplied Rock Trap (25577-950-000) just before the water line reaches the waterfall inlet. The Rock Trap does not replace a filter.
BALANCING THE FLOW
It is recommended to use a 3-way valve after the pump to allow the flow to be
regulated between the waterfall and the pool return. The recommended location
for this valve is after the filter near the equipment pad (Figure 7).
When plumbing two or more waterfalls, follow all of the previous instructions
with the addition of a 2-way ball valve for each waterfall. The valve is
necessary to balance the water flow between the units. Proper placement of the
valve is shown in (Figure 8). CMP
ball valve part numbers are 25800-151-000 for 1½” and 25800-210-000 for
2”.Figure 8: Recommended Pipe Configuration
NOTICE Use only water that has been properly filtered by an in-line cartridge filter. Failure to properly filter water may result in a clogged waterfall and a voided warranty.
LED STRIP POWER CABLE CONNECTION
- Insert door unlatching tool into the side holes of the cuttable doors with bent portion facing up. Once fully inserted, pull tool to remove door. Wire and terminal from LED strip will slide out with cuttable door.
- Remove LED Strip terminal from the door. Pull power cable and LED strip through the front of the side conduit and glue adapter into the back.
- Connect power cable connector terminal to connector terminal of LED strip. Place both into the cuttable door as shown. Push cuttable door into side conduit while pulling electric cable from the back.
- Glue door cover to cuttable door using PVC glue. OPTIONAL: Opening of cuttable door can also be filled with grout, plaster, caulk, etc. to match pool wall. Fill only opening of cuttable door, do not cover latch hole.
CONTROL WIRING
Install
power cable through 1” conduit. Use only sweeps, no 90° elbows. Control box
must be above water level. Connect cable to Brilliant Wonders Color Wheel
Control, or Brilliant Wonders Smart Sync Adapter. Control Option 1: Brilliant
Wonders Color Wheel Control requires a 12V DC power supply (sold separately).
Control Option 2: Brilliant Wonders Smart Sync Adapter requires a 12V AC
transformer (not included). Use Smart Sync Adapter option for Waterfalls
installed with other LED products or automation
NOTICE Color Wheel Control and Smart Sync Adapter are incompatible and
should not be used together.
For more detailed information please refer to instruction manuals for the
Brilliant Wonders Color Wheel Adapter (25650-130300), or Brilliant Wonders
Smart Sync Adapter (25677-900-000).
LED STRIP REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT GUIDE
- Use unlatching tool to remove both doors. (See detailed instructions on previous pages.) Disconnect wire terminals and unwrap pullcable from spindle. Let cables hang freely.
- Remove LED strip by gently pulling the wiring of the strip. Once removed, detach pull-cable from old LED strip and tie onto the new one. Start feeding the LED strip back into the side conduit while pulling the pull-cable from the other side.¹
- Reattach wire terminals and place them into cuttable door as shown. Re-wrap pull-cable around the spindle and place back into cuttable door.
- Reinstall cuttable doors into waterfall. Slowly push in until latches snap into place. Door latch will “snap” into place once fully seated in the side conduit.
¹TIP: If the LED strip gets caught or stuck during installation or removal, the door unlatching tool may be used to help guide or reposition around the corners. Insert door unlatching tool into the side conduit using the rounded end to push the LED strip off the corner while pulling from the opposite side.
TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQ
| Situation | Solution 1 | Solution 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Can the lip be cut into a custom shape or radius? | Yes, Brilliant Wonders LED | |
| Waterfall 2 from CMP can come custom cut from the factory. | Contact CMP for |
more information on order placement.
Waterfall has breaks in the sheeting or does not have a
smooth flow.| Debris may be caught in the lip.
Use the clean out tool or a thin flat tool to clear the lip.| GPM may be
inaccurate. Too little flow or too much flow through waterfall may prevent
proper water flow. Reference the chart in this installation guide for proper
GPM.
When using the Colorwheel Control the LED on my waterfall is only red or
blue.| You may have the incorrect power supply. A DC transformer/power supply
purchased from CMP is required to activate the controller.| Wires may be
crossed between the controller and waterfall.
Sequence top to bottom should be as follows: White, Black, Green, Red. See
detailed wiring diagram on the controller instructions or quick reference
card.
Do I always need to use the screen and rock trap that came with the
waterfall?| We do not recommend using the screen if possible. Pet hair and
other fine debris can build up over time and impede the water flow.| The rock
trap is always recommended. Using the rock trap will capture debris in the
pipes, and prevent it from building up in the waterfall. NOTE: During
installation, do not “drag” the pipes along the ground or in the dirt. This
fills the pipes with dirt and the waterfall will not work correctly after
installation. (Yes, we have seen this happen before!)
IMPORTANT: USE FILTERED WATER ONLY!

TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQ
| Situation | Solution 1 | Solution 2 |
|---|---|---|
| The LED Strip or cord are stuck, twisted or difficult to remove. | The door |
unlatching tool can be used to relieve binding inside the waterfall. Push the
tool to the back of the side conduit and use it to reposition the LED strip
inside the housing.|
I pushed the door unlatching tool in the side conduit but the door will not
pull out.| Confirm that you can feel a small catch as the tool opens the
latch| Gently and slightly rotate the tool side to side to help catch the
sliding door before pulling out.
One waterfall has more flow that other waterfalls installed in the pool.| The
supply of water is not balanced correctly. To get equal flow from each
waterfall unit, adjust the valves at each waterfall until the desired flow is
achieved.| Review the Plumbing Guide in these instructions for details
on a proper multiple waterfall plumbing setup.
The pull-cable broke or became unattached from the LED strip. How do I
replace it?| If the cable breaks or is pulled through while untied, a shop vac
can be used to guide it back through the channel. Push the new pull-cable into
the side channel
making sure to keep it along the inside wall (the door opening tool can be
used to help guide the pull-cable into the channel).
Place a shop vac hose over the opposite side channel opening and turn on the
shop vac. The shop vac will “suck” the pull-cable through the waterfall.
Reattach to the LED strip.| If the pull-cable actually tears through the end
of the LED strip, the cable can be reattached by tying around the back of the
black overmolded end. The door unlatching tool can be used to help guide the
LED strip into the channel if it gets stuck.
