Introduction
Thank you for choosing Atlantic’s Color Changing Colorfalls. The Colorfalls are
designed for use in Pond-free and fountain applications. The Color Changing
Colorfalls feature a larger opening which produces a thicker water sheer and less
clogging from debris in the water, a remote controlled Color Changing LED light
bar, and a removable back plate that provides access to the interior of the spillway
for easy maintenance and winterizing.

Colorfalls are not intended for use in water gardens or any pond with
plant or aquatic life.
The ColorFalls must be accessible for service and maintenance. Installing the
ColorFalls so that the entire body is removable is highly recommended. Do not
glue the cap stones above the ColorFalls or permanently mortar the ColorFalls
in place.

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.

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.

ConnecttheColorfallstogetherusingthe1½”threadedconnector(included).
Begin by installing one end of the connector into the side inlet of one Colorfalls.
Align the second Colorfalls and spin it onto the threaded fitting (screwing the two
units together). Before they are completely tightened, install the double sided
gasket (included) at the end of the end of the spillway between the units. This
will create a watertight seal where the spillways meet. Pull the spillways of the
ColorfallsapartwhilecompletingthenalturnoftheColorfallsbody.Onceyou
have ensured proper alignment, press the spillways of the two units together
(sandwiching the gasket) to ensure it is in contact with both units.
When plumbing multiple Color Changing Colorfalls together, use the back center
inlet on each individual Colorfalls, plugging the side inlets, regardless if you are using
one pump or multiple pumps. This will balance the flow of water going to the falls.
Note: If plumbing two different sized Colorfalls together, a ball valve must be added
on each vertical feed line to adjust the water flow into each unit.
The individual feed lines
to each Colorfalls should
be1½”PVC.Ifusingone
