What happens here

Position the waterfall spillway, which is a pre-formed black plastic unit, at the very top of the waterfall structure. Utilize a level to ensure that the spillway is perfectly horizontal; this is crucial for achieving an even and consistent water flow across its entire width. Once the spillway is accurately positioned, mark the pond liner precisely where the spillway's outlet will connect. Using a utility knife, carefully cut a hole in the liner. This cut should be approximately half an inch smaller than the marked circle to create a tight fit. This snug fit, in conjunction with rubber seals and thread sealant, will guarantee a watertight connection. The spillway unit itself typically features reverse threads for added security and a more robust seal.

Goal: Install and level the waterfall spillway, connecting it securely to the pond liner

lights with that inner level then you gotta mark your line or two don't join yeah ICU liners all out of everything to me this is probably the most complicated the rocks and stuff are pretty simple right three rock waterfalls put a liner in put some rock on top that's all on the eye of the beholder this you can't screw up as you screw this up you're going to get a leak so really easy we're going to make sure the liner comes all the way back behind this this is eventually is going to get folded up like this retaining all that water going that way you know this is our one connection we have to make so I just come in here like this put my liner right up to the back of this if I push on this really hard it's gonna leave a mark on the other side where I need to cut my hole if I come back here you can see that that hole right there comes also I'm going to take these off I could use this to also kind of push an idea of where this is gonna be now I don't want to cut it to the exact same size as the opening of this that'll be too loose so once I've marked out this circle right here come in about you know half an inch smaller than that original circle you marked out I mean we're sealing the inside rubber seal on the inside and the outside okay like so just like the ball can fit in clay or whatever here in the aqua basin it's got those reversed threads on it couple turns past hand tight and there was a trick that had taught me a while back it was over time as sediment and stuff you know from the rock and gravel just accumulates it will actually like kind of embed itself into the fabric so it's basically watertight so I'm just putting it over the top of that foam so that it will attach itself to the foam based in giving it this blanket look right and then I can I also have a spot where I can lay my gravel on top of this without having to let it cure a hundred percent you guys have fake driftwood not included in the kit but it makes hide in the front of that thing really really easy this is fake yeah right but the resin material where duplicated off of a piece of drift where we found just had some shape and stuff to it you could use this if you wanted to get a waterfall coming through this would be your support stone this would be your other support stone and water coming through here I'm gonna use it and try to take this piece with a combination of another piece and see if we can't hide this waterfall spillway here that's so far they're an hour and 42 Granton okay I'm…
