This illustration shows proper installation of a waterfall.  Note layers of building materials: compacted sand against compacted soil, then a layer of steel-reinforced concrete (2" - 2 1 /2 "  thick), then a liner, another layer of steel-reinforced concrete (2" - 2 1 /2 " thick). Waterfall rock work is then mortared to the top layer of concrete. This method protects the liner from sharp heavy rocks during construction. Note the use of drains in each pocket of the waterfall. This feature dramatically reduces maintenance. Over  time, these waterfall pockets collect waste materials, which can be easily drained off. Simple ABS male threaded cleanout plugs serve as plugs for these drain lines. Bulkhead fittings make the transition from pipe to liner.

This illustration shows the proper elevations of a non-pressurized gravity return feed biological filter located behind a waterfall Note the relative position of the ultraviolet light  filter in the return line. Positioning the entrance and exit ports  of the ultraviolet filter in a downward fashion reduces the  opportunity for bacterial mulm to collect in the uv unit. Positioning the filter slightly above and behind the waterfall is  necessary. The further you move the filter from the waterfall, the  higher it needs to be positioned: 1 /4 " higher for each 1 foot added distance.
