2. Setting the Waterfall
Create a bed of mortar in the notch in the bond beam and press the waterfall unit into the mortar until
the bottom of the lip is flush with the board (Figure 2). Make sure the lip support is pressed into the
slot to prevent debris from getting into the waterfall. When the supply pipe from the filter is clear of all
debris, solvent weld the supply pipe to the waterfall.
NOTE: CLEAN THE SUPPLY PIPE: Waterfalls are sensitive to debris. Flush the supply pipe completely
before attaching it to the waterfall.
Critical considerations
1. The area under the lip must be completely supported by mortar. If not, the coping will warp the
waterfall.
2. The leading edge of the waterfall edge (the edge from which the water spills) needs to clear the
face of the tile line by at least 2 cm.
3. When installing an arc effect, like rain or sheet, make sure the water effect will clear the
overhanging coping (Figure 3). The arc of the water effect rises out of the waterfall at 45º.
