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.
Colorfalls
Maximum Falls
Height Above Basin
Flow Rate
CC06 18” 600 GPH
CC12 24” 1200 GPH
CC24 30” 2400 GPH
CC36 36” 3600 GPH
Installation of Color Changing 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 as well as the bottom of the spillway
lip must be supported by the
opening in which it is placed.
The top side of the opening
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.
Plumbing A Single Colorfalls
Each ColorFalls spillway
is equipped with three
convenient 1½” threaded inlets
to accommodate 1½” Sch 40 MPT
fittings. Choose one or more of
the three inlets for plumbing: you
can either plumb directly into the
back center of the unit, or into both sides. (Plumbing the ColorFalls from one side
only will produce an uneven water sheer. Feed lines must be connected to both
sides to ensure an even water flow.) Close off the unused inlet(s) with the provided
plugs. The plugs have O-rings seals and can be installed without thread sealant.
Installing a ball valve (not included) on the feed line between the pump and the
Colorfalls is recommended for added control of water flow.
