Let the hypnotic sounds of flowing water fill your garden decor! The Backyard Nature Products 4 Level Cascade Pond Kit circulates 650 gallons per hour over its layered design. Easy to install, the dynamic water feature is sure to be a well-noticed attraction for neighborhood birds. The sturdy molded resin and fiberglass body stands up to the extremes of any season.
Please note for best circulation of your pond - The fountain rock shown in the alternate images, is meant to be placed at the very top of the complete set-up while the pump is placed at the very lowest point of the complete set-up. This creates the very best recirculation cycle. A 3/4-inch hose connects these two units together. The length of the hose can be as long as it needs to be to complete the circuit.
When selecting a location for this pond please keep this in mind:
* Modest slope with at least a 12 inch elevation change from the top cascade piece to the reservoir pool. If your ground is level, you can use dirt from the reservoir excavation to form a mound for the cascade pieces to sit on.
* An area already frequently visited by birds.
* Easily viewed from a location where you frequently sit to watch birds. A good distance away from your house is about 20-40 ft. is a good distance.
Near shrubs and trees for cover and partial shade. To keep the water cool and free of algae, it’s best to have no more than 6 hours/day of direct sunlight.
* Avoid area of heavy run off, such as a gully or ditch; muddy water could form.

*** If the water becomes dirty and you want to put in clean water , disconnect the tubing from the Water Fall Flowmaster, and lay it away from the bath and use the pump to empty the pool out onto the adjacent ground. Then unplug the pump, and
sponge out the last of the muddy water.
* OR TO COMPLETELY CLEAN YOUR POND YOU CAN DO
THE FOLLOWING.
1. Unplug the pump, push the gravel aside off the mesh strainer, remove the strainer and pump.
2. Use a jet of water from a garden hose to wash the gravel beginning with the top cascade and working down to the
bottom pool.
3. Take a one gallon pail or equivalent sized container and dip
the muddy water out of the bottom pool and pour it on the ground.
4. Wash the gravel in the bottom pool again with the hose and
repeat dumping it out with the bucket. You can also stir the gravel by hand or with a stick to help suspend the dirt so it can be dumped out.
5. Usually 2 washings are sufficient to achieve sufficient cleanliness, but if you wish, you can do more.
6. If you suspect debris has gotten into the pump, see the pump
instructions for pump disassembly and cleaning.
7. Once complete, reinstall the pump and mesh gravel strainer,
refill with clean water and restart the pump. The water may be somewhere dingy but it should clear in an hour or two.
