PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

WARNING

All CMP waterfalls must use filtered water. Running a waterfall with unfiltered water can cause permanent damage to the fixture and will void any manufacturer’s warranty on the product.

Also, take note of the following:

– Do NOT stand on, drop, or step on the waterfall.

– Flush the pipeline before attaching it to the waterfall unit.

– Always plumb each waterfall with the included rock trap just before the water line reaches the waterfall.

Important Information

Waterfalls come with a protective tongue for the water outlet and a protective cap for the water inlet. They both prevent debris from entering the unit during the installation process.

Protective caps should not be removed from the unit until the equipment is ready to run. Failure to do so may cause permanent damage to the waterfall and void of warranty.

Each unit also comes with an optional screen that snaps into the water inlet for additional filtration if desired. We do not recommend using the screen if at all possible due to excess hair or debris build-up which can affect the performance of the waterfall.

Performance Info

The units use 1 gallon of water per inch of waterfall per minute. Please be sure to size the water pump accordingly and reference GPM when choosing the correct pumps to use.

NOTE: Testing was performed in a laboratory setting under optimal conditions. Environmental factors such as weather, construction method and hydraulic variations can alter flow and appearance. Results are at 40″ height.

Height Recommendations

EXTENDED HEIGHTS AND PROJECTION

For a more dramatic effect, it is possible to achieve increased projection and heights above 40″ by increasing the gallons per minute. Results outside of tested parameters may vary.

NOTE: At the tested 40″ height, the flume on the 12″ and 18″ Classic Waterfall Styles is very narrow. For a more traditional appearance, we recommend the 12″ at 18″ max height ( 8″ projection ) and 18″ at 24″ max height ( 9″ projection ).
