Insert Flex Hose & Initial Backfill
At 9:38 in
How to install a Waterfall feature in 2 hours and 20 minutes Steps 1-6
What happens here
Apply a generous amount of Aquascape Black Silicone, which acts as both glue and lubricant, to the plumbing connections. Carefully insert the flexible hose into the bulkhead fitting, ensuring a secure connection. Before fully backfilling, compact the soil underneath the connection to prevent any movement or undue stress on the fitting, which could lead to leaks. When arranging the waterfall, embrace a more natural, random design rather than a rigidly planned one, allowing the rocks to guide the placement for an organic aesthetic. Ensure a gentle slope to mimic natural water flow.
Goal: Connect the flexible hose and begin initial backfilling to secure plumbing and create natural topography.
