Atlantic FilterFalls Big Bahama Pro Series

The width you choose depends on the desired flow rate and the visual impact you want for your waterfall. The 19-inch and 26-inch models use a 2-inch inlet, while the 38-inch model requires a 3-inch inlet to accommodate higher water volumes.

No, the FilterFalls is a filtration and spillway unit, not a pump. You will need to purchase a separate pond pump to move water from your pond into the FilterFalls unit.

The system uses bio-balls and filter pads to trap debris and host beneficial bacteria. You should periodically rinse the filter pads to remove accumulated sludge and ensure water flows freely through the unit.

The 8,000-gallon rating is the manufacturer's recommended capacity for optimal biological filtration. If your pond exceeds this size, you may need to install multiple units or supplement with additional filtration to maintain water quality.

The unit is designed to be partially buried or camouflaged with rocks and landscaping materials. By placing stones around the spillway and along the sides, you can easily blend the unit into your natural pond environment.

The unit includes the bulkhead fitting for the inlet, but you will need to provide the appropriate PVC pipe and plumbing connections to link your pump to the FilterFalls. Ensure your plumbing matches the inlet size of your specific model.
