Aquascape Pondless Vault (49000) - Manual (Page 6)

• The Pondless ® Waterfall Vault and extension includes one 3-inch hole to run the plumbing from the pump to the start of the waterfall. The PVC flex
pipe can be trimmed to the proper length and inserted through the hole in the side of the Pondless ® Waterfall Vault. Additional plumbing holes can be
drilled through the Pondless ® Waterfall Vault if needed. A second drill point is located on the opposite side of the the Pondless ® Waterfall Vault as well
as the extension for accuracy when drilling an additional plumbing hole. Larger pumps using 3-inch plumbing will require the use of the Pondless ®
Waterfall Vault extension and Large AquaBlox ® . Consult your AquascapePRO ® Product Catalog for pump selection and the proper Check Valve Assembly
required to complete the pump's plumbing.
• PVC flex pipe plumbing can withstand extreme weather conditions so it is unnecessary to dig a deep trench. The pipe can transition over the edge of
the basin and be covered with boulders and backfilled with soil. To eliminate a frozen and potentially broken PVC flex pipe, the pipe should be sloping
down from the top of the waterfall to the Pondless ® Waterfall storage basin to help drain as much water from the line as possible when the pump is
removed for winter storage.
Step 9: Install Pump and Plumbing
An optional overflow can be installed using the Overflow Kit (Item #30209) to manage any excess water entering the basin. Installing an overflow system
is recommended on Pondless ® Waterfalls that will be receiving captured rainwater (RainXchange ® Systems) as a means of replenishing water in the
storage basin. Please contact your local Authorized AquascapePRO ® Distributor or Aquascape's Customer Care Department for more information.
