Thank you for choosing the Waterfall Spillway. At Aquascape, we connect people to water the way nature intended. Since 1991 we’ve been created and field- testing water features in order to provide you with the most reliable products and best value in the water gardening industry.
Waterfall Spillway
The Aquascape Waterfall Spillway makes it easy to create a waterfall or stream, providing smooth, consistent, leak-free water flow. As the incoming water rushes in, the water is diffused by strategically positioned internal barriers to create a smooth flow of water. Its durable design allows boulders, gravel, soil, or other creative landscape material to be set directly on top, making it easy to camouflage into the surrounding landscape. This instruction manual will guide you through the proper installation procedures to ensure long-term enjoyment.

Installation
STEP 1
BUILD WATERFALL AND STREAM
- Build waterfall and stream, providing enough liner at the top of the waterfall to wrap over the top of the Waterfall Spillway.
STEP 2
PLACE WATERFALL SPILLWAY
-
Set the Waterfall Spillway into the desired location (Ex. 1). Ensure the top of the spillway is facing upward Ex. 2).
-
Adjust the height of the Waterfall Spillway to match the starting point of the waterfall. A bed of gravel can be placed on top of the liner, beneath the Waterfall Spillway, to aise the height of the spillway to the desired level (Ex. 3).
-
Level the spillway from side-to-side and tilt forward a 1/4″ bubble on a 2-foot level (Ex. 4).
STEP 3
CONNECT TO LINER
-
Fold the liner over the top of the Waterfall Spillway. It is recommended to provide some slack in the liner in case the position of the Waterfall Spillway needs minor adjustment during installation (Ex. 5).
-
Using a screwdriver or awl, puncture a small hole in the liner through the center of the Waterfall Spillway fitting (Ex. 6). This will be your reference point for the location of the liner connection.
-
Unfold the liner back off the Waterfall Spillway and remove the retaining nut from the Waterfall Spillway fitting. Center the retaining nut over the puncture hole in the liner. Use a pen marker, awl, or screwdriver to trace a line around the inside of the nut (Ex. 7).
-
Remove the retaining nut and trim a hole in the liner approximately 1/8″ inside of the score mark (Ex. 8).
-
Remove the outer rubber gasket from the Waterfall Spillway fitting. Insert the hole in the liner over the Waterfall Spillway fitting. The liner should fit snug around the base of the Waterfall Spillway fitting (Ex. 9).
-
Place the second rubber gasket onto the fitting (Ex. 10).
NOTE : The liner should be located between both rubber gaskets.
-
Place retaining nut on Waterfall Spillway and hand tighten. The fitting is reverse threaded, please refer to the arrow located on the retaining nut for proper direction. Use a pair of channel locks to further tighten down the retaining nut and an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn past hand tight being careful to not over tighten the retaining nut, which could possibly crack the plastic fitting (Ex. 11).
STEP 4
CONNECT THE PIPE
- Install the included pipe fitting into the back of the Waterfall Spillway. Use Teflon tape or silicone sealant (not included) on the threads of the fitting, in order to provide a water-tight seal. Be careful to not over-tighten pipe fitting, which could possibly crack the plastic fittings. The filter is now ready for the pipe to be installed (Ex. 12).
STEP 5
FILL JOINTS WITH BLACK WATERFALL FOAM
- The joints around the face of the Waterfall Spillway and surrounding waterfall stones can now be filled with Aquascape Pond and Waterfall Foam Sealant (Ex. 13).
NOTE: The waterfall can be operated once the foam is dry.\
STEP 6
DISGUISE THE WATERFALL SPILLWAY
- Disguise the Waterfall Spillway using boulders, logs, gravel, soil, or other creative landscape materials (Ex. 14).
STEP 7
TRIM EXCESS LINER
- With the waterfall running, trim off any excess liner leaving several inches above the water level/water splash as a precaution. The remaining liner edges can be covered with gravel or other suitable landscape material.
