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.
Prior to Operation and Installation
Caution:
• DO NOT operate this product under any condition other than those
for which it is specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead
to electrical shock, product failure, or other problems.
• Follow all aspects of electrical codes when installing the Color
Changing Colorfalls.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a 110 volt
receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• The input power to the Color Changing Control Module is 12 volt AC.
The Control Module can be connected to a larger outdoor lighting
transformer; however this must be done between the Control Module
and the transformer. Removing the Control Module or tampering with
the cord between the Control Module and the Colorfalls will damage
the light bar and void warranty.
• The Control Module is weather resistant with an IP54 rating. Do not
submerse the Control Module or expose it to heavy rainfall. It must be
mounted off the ground close to the power source. Failure to do so will
void the warranty.
• Colorfalls are designed for use in Pond-free and fountain applications.
Colorfalls are not intended for use in water gardens or any pond with
plant or aquatic life.
It is recommended that the entire Colorfalls be easily accessible. If this is not an
option, access to the rear of the Colorfalls is required for maintenance purposes.
The Colorfalls can support 40 lbs. per linear foot (e.g. a 24" Colorfalls can support
80 lbs.). If the weight on the weir exceeds that amount, you will need to provide a
lintel support for the added weight. This support should still make contact with the
weir to prevent it from shifting.

See the chart below for the recommended placement of the Colorfalls above the
basin or pool. If the placement of the Colorfalls exceeds the recommended height,
water loss will increase significantly due to splash and wind drift.

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.
Plumbing A Single Colorfalls
Each Colorfalls spillway is
equipped with three convenient
1½" PVC socket inlets to
accommodate 1½" PVC fittings
or pipe. Choose one or more of
the three inlets for plumbing: you
can plumb either directly into the
back center of the unit, or from one or both sides and close off the unused inlet(s)
with the provided plugs. All fitting attachments can be made using standard PVC
Glue and Cleaner. Follow the instructions on your PVC Glue and Cleaner for the
proper use of those materials.
Installing a ball valve (not included) on the feed line between the pump and the
Colorfalls is recommended for added control of water flow.
