Detail Drawing #1
Water features can have either a surface skimming inlet or a bottom draw. The top of the Filtrific Filter tank needs to be placed at the water level of the water feature if you are using a bottom draw. If the Filtrific filter tank needs to be placed lower than the water level see Detail drawing number #3. Water from the water feature flows into the Filtrific Filter tanks where debris is filtered out before it is then pumped back out into the water feature. The filter tank can be located away from the water feature as long as it is placed so that the top of the Filter tank is at the same level as the water in the water feature.

Detail Drawing # 2
This detail drawing shows the plumbing and filtering on an elevated water feature with the Filtrific filter tank placed lower than the level of the water in the water feature. Water flows into the Filtrific filter tank through the Filtrific S5 skimmer and is then pumped back out into the water feature. This system utilizes a Filtrific T75F filter tank, Filtrific S5 in wall skimmer, Filtrific BDC-3 bottom draw intake and a Filtrific UCC-2 up circulator to create optimal water circulation in the water feature. A Filtrific UV-57 ultraviolet filter, a chlorinator, or Filtrific CF-E10 filter assembly can also be added to the water feature plumbing. An elevated water feature with proper water circulation as shown in this detail drawing will keep the water clean especially if an UV filter or chlorinator is added to the system.

Detail Drawing #3
This drawing shows the plumbing of an Elevated Water Feature where the Filtrific filter tank can be placed lower that the water level of the water feature. Position the T75F filter tank at a convenient location, either buried or above ground. Ensure its accessible for maintenance. Connect the intake port to the water feature’s main water source. The T75F can handle flow rates up to 200 GPM (12,000 GPH). Install up to four pumps in the spacious pumping chamber. Use the front and back discharge ports for pump connections. Place the S5 skimmer at the water feature’s surface level to effectively remove debris. Connect the skimmer’s output to the T75F filter tank’s intake port. This ensures that water is pre-filtered before entering the main filter tank. Install the UV57 filter in line with the plumbing system, ideally after the T75F filter tank. Connect the output of the T75F filter tank to the input of the UV57 filter. This setup ensures that water is treated for harmful microorganisms before being circulated back into the water feature. Position the UCC-2 up circulator at the desired location within the water feature to create the desired water movement. Connect the circulator to the output of the UV57 filter. This ensures that clean, treated water is circulated throughout the water feature.
Once all components are connected, test the system to ensure proper water flow and filtration. Make any necessary adjustments to the pump settings and connections to optimize performance. Regularly check and clean the skimmer, filter tank, and UV filter to maintain efficient operation. By following these steps, you can create a well-functioning elevated water feature with effective filtration and circulation using Filtrific components.

For water features, a water in motion containment system is essential to manage and control the flow and storage of water. These systems ensure that water is properly circulated, filtered, and stored, preventing issues like overflow or stagnation. The Filtrific® system, which includes expansion tanks that connect with filter tanks to capture water-in-motion when the pump is off. These tanks can be placed under walkways, lawns, or between rock outcroppings, making them versatile for various landscape designs.
