Section 5. Start Up
5.1 Start Up Instructions
After the swimming pool is completed and filled
with water, the Sheer Descent waterfall is ready to be
activated.
1. REMOVE THE LIP PROTECTOR NOW. This
must be done before water is diverted to the
waterfall. Also, ensure the opening is clean and
clear of any debris.
2. Turn the pump on. If the waterfall is plumbed with
the main pool filter pump, allow the pump to run a
few minutes to clear the lines of debris.
3. Slowly open the regulating valve and supply water
to the Sheer Descent unit. Adjust the flow of water
until the sheet of water extends out onto the pool
surface.

Radius Size
Use the chart below to ensure the Sheer Descent length, lip and radius are available.
4. Allow for air to clear the lines. This should only
take a few minutes. The Sheer Descent waterfall
unit should now provide a clear, continuous sheet
of water.
5. If a separate pump was installed, make sure
all valves are open prior to starting the pump.
ENSURE ALL LINES ARE CLEAR OF DEBRIS
BEFORE STARTING. Start the pump and allow
water to circulate through the separate filter
system and return line. Slowly open the valve to
the waterfall and regulate to the desired setting.
Allow a few minutes to purge all air from the
lines.
