Before proceeding, make sure the pump system is fully
functional and activated. Also, ensure all air is purged
from plumbing lines.
6.1 Troubleshooting
Problem
Cause
Solution
The waterfall is not
completely smooth. A gap
or gaps in the sheet of the
waterfall is present.
Debris has lodged in the
opening of the waterfall.
Use a credit card or similar object and gently position it
inside the opening while the waterfall is on. Slide it along
the opening to the point where the debris is located and
gently pull the debris through the opening. Do not use a
metal tool.
Dirty filter, pump basket
or both has slowed down
the flow to below proper
standards.
Clean filter, pump basket or both.
Waterfall flow valve(s) are
out of adjustment.
Adjust water flow valve(s).
Waterfall radius was field
cut and spacers were not
removed.
Refer to Section 4.4 for proper spacer removal
instructions.
Where multiple waterfalls
are installed, one of the
waterfalls is stronger than
the other(s).
The water supplied to
the units is not properly
balanced.
Adjust the valves for each waterfall until the proper
effect and balance is achieved. See Figure 15 for valve
location.
Improper loop plumbing
installation.
Correct loop plumbing installation. Refer to Figure 16 for
proper loop plumbing setup.
6.2 Freeze Protection and Winterizing
In order to prevent freeze damage to the system, the
plumbing to the unit must be installed so water drains
easily from the system. The Sheer Descent and Fiber
Fall waterfalls have been engineered to allow only a
minimum of water to stay in the unit as long as the
plumbing is installed properly. Blow out all water from
the pipes and Sheer Descent or Fiber Fall unit. Follow
the normal procedures for winterizing.
