the possibility of stripping the
screws. Be sure the vertical liner
attachment strip is attached far
enough away to contain any water
falling off the sides of the water-
fall stone.
• Use the long liner attachment
strips and self-tapping screws to
attach the liner under the water-
fall stone cutout. (See fig.16)
• Trim the liner above and im-
mediately adjacent to the liner
attachment strips, then apply
additional silicone along the
cut edge of the liner, to create a
second seal. (See fig.17 & 18) Let
silicone dry at least 1-hour before
introducing water!
• Apply the black waterfall foam
under the waterfall stone. (See
fig.19) Fill the plant pockets
around the top edge of the vault
with gravel and add plants.
You may need to periodically
trim these plants so they don’t
slow the flow of water over the
waterfall.
• Place two larger boulders on
either side of the waterfalls you
are creating in order to “frame”
the waterfalls. The water will be
running between the two larger
boulders you’ve set in place.
(See fig. 20)
• You can now begin to stack the
rocks between the two larger
boulders. These are the rocks that
the water will be running over, so
take your time and be creative.
Start with the larger rocks on the
bottom and work your way up to
the smaller ones on top.
• Small stones and gravel can be
used to fill in the gaps between
the larger waterfalls stones.
• To make the water cascade off
the filter you can use piece(s) of
thin (no more than 3/4” thick)
natural slate (See figs. 21 &
22). This stone can be attached
to the Endless Cascade ™ using
black waterfall foam. The black
waterfall foam will come in handy
when filling other gaps between
the stones that water is flowing
over. The foam keeps the water
flowing over the top of the water-
fall stones. Without the black wa-
terfall foam, you may lose some
of the impact of your waterfall as
water travels beneath the rocks.
• Place smaller rocks on the
rock ledge inside the Endless
Cascade ™ to help hide it in the
landscape. (See fig. 23)

Fig. 9 Apply silicon to vault seams. Fig. 10 Connect incoming water supply. Fig. 11 Install waterfall stones at the
same level.
Fig. 12 Decide where and how wide the
waterfall stone will be and cut the vault
to match.
Fig. 13 Do not cut below the built in
dashed line so the cut stops
above the plant edge.
Fig. 14 Apply a thick bead of silicone 1”
away from the bottom and sides
of the cut out section.
Fig. 15 Use the supplied binder clips
to temporarily hold the liner to
the vault.
Fig. 16 Use the long liner strips and
self-tapping screws to attach the liner
under the waterfall stone cutout.
Fig. 17 Trim the liner above and im-
mediately adjacent to the liner
attachment strips.
Fig. 18 Apply aadditional silicone
along the cut edge of the liner
to create a second seal.
Fig. 19 Apply black waterfall foam under
the waterfall stone.
Before building the waterfall, you
will need to do a little preparation
work. Please read the section about
Stream Construction on page 14 if
you plan to create a stream. We also
recommend that contractors refer
to The Pond Builders Bible and the
Waterfalls & Stream Construction
video prior to designing and install-
ing. Do-It Yourselfers can refer to
the book Ecosystem Pond or Pond
Building for Hobbyists for more
information on Stream and Water-
falls construction.
• Placing the Endless Cascade
™
away from the edge of the pond
is always a good idea. This allows
the creation of a meandering
stream to add a touch of nature to
your water garden.
• We typically place the Endless
Cascade ™ 6 - 10 feet from the
edge of the pond. Twisting and
turning the stream makes it look
more natural, and will require a

• Place two larger boulders on
either side of the waterfall you are
creating in order to “frame” the wa-
terfalls. The water will be running
between the two larger boulders
you’ve set in place. (See fig. 20)

with the larger rocks on the bottom
and work your way up to the smaller

• Small stones and gravel can be
used to fill the gaps between the

• The Endless Cascade ™ vault is
designed with a plastic lip for the
water to cascade off. You can use
the Endless Cascade ™ vault plastic
waterfall stone or even piece(s)
of thin (no more than 3/4" thick)
natural slate (See figs. 21 & 22).
This stone can be attached to the
Endless Cascade ™ vault using
black waterfall foam. The black
waterfall foam will come in handy
when filling other gaps between the
stones that water is flowing over.
The foam keeps the water flowing
over the top of the waterfall stones.
Without the black waterfall foam,
you may lose some of the impact
of your waterfall as water travels
beneath the rocks.
• Place smaller rocks on the rock
ledge inside the Endless Cas-
cade ™ vault to help hide it in the
landscape. The rock tray inside the
Endless Cascade ™ vault will help
disguise the rest of the unit into the
landscape. (See fig. 23)

Fig. 22 If a thick rock along with a larger flow pump is used, the water flow may
be so great that it will flow over the sides of the Endless Cascade ™ vault.
Fig. 21 If using a natural rock for your waterfall weir, make sure that
it is fairly thin (no more than 3/4").
Fig. 23 Place smaller rocks on the rock ledge in the BIOFALLS ® filter. Fig. 20 Place two larger boulders on either side of the waterfalls you are
creating in order to “frame” the waterfalls.
Waterfall Lights
• After the boulders are in position,
set your waterfall accent lights.
The lights can be placed beneath
the waterfall shining upwards.
• See lighting system instructions
for placement, positioning and
installation of waterfall lights.
