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
Colorfalls Spillway must protrude from the

wall a minimum of ½" and maximum of 1".

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" threaded inlets to
accommodate 1½" Sch 40 MPT fittings. Choose one or more of the three inlets for
plumbing: you can either plumb directly into the back center of the unit, or into both sides.
(Plumbing the ColorFalls from one side only will produce an uneven water sheer. Feed
lines must be connected to both sides to ensure an even water flow.) Close off the unused
inlet(s) with the provided plugs. The plugs have O-ring seals and can be installed without
thread sealant.
Installing a ball valve (not included) on the feed line between the pump and the Colorfalls is
recommended for added control of water flow.
Plumbing Modular Colorfalls
Connect the Colorfalls together using the 1½" threaded connector (included). Begin by
installing one end of the connector into the side inlet of one Colorfalls. Align the second
Colorfalls and spin it onto the threaded fitting (screwing the two units together). Before
they are completely tightened, install the double sided gasket (included) at the end of the
end of the spillway between the units. This will create a watertight seal where the spillways
meet. Pull the spillways of the Colorfalls apart while completing the final turn of the
Colorfalls body. Once you have ensured proper alignment, press the spillways of the two
units together (sandwiching the gasket) to ensure it is in contact with both units.

When plumbing multiple Color Changing Colorfalls together, use the back center inlet on
each individual Colorfalls, plugging the side inlets, regardless if you are using one pump or
multiple pumps. This will balance the flow of water going to the falls.
Note: If plumbing two different sized Colorfalls together, a ball valve must be added on
each vertical feed line to adjust the water flow into each unit.
