Know before you buy
To achieve the ideal 13 to 15-inch projection from the spillway, you should use a pump with a flow rate of 2000 GPH. Using a pump with significantly less flow may result in a weak or uneven sheet of water.
Yes, the ColorFalls is specifically engineered for integration into retaining walls or pond-free setups. Its compact 3.5-inch height makes it easy to incorporate into standard masonry or block wall construction.
The LED light bar is integrated into the unit for a seamless look. While it is energy-efficient and durable, the light bar is not designed to be swapped out independently of the spillway housing.
The spillway features a 5-inch lip extension. This design helps ensure the water clears the face of your wall, preventing splashing or staining on the masonry below.
The unit features a 1.5-inch FPT inlet for your plumbing connection. You will need to provide the appropriate PVC or flexible tubing and fittings to connect your pump to the spillway inlet.
In areas where freezing occurs, you should drain the unit and disconnect the pump to prevent ice damage. The spillway is not designed to withstand the expansion of freezing water inside the housing.
