1. Dig a trench (figure A) from lowest portion of the pond to the highest (where filter system will be installed) .

2. Run the hose from the bottom portion of the pond (where the pump will sit) to the top (where the filter will sit).

3. Position the filter system on a level surface of dirt. Use a level for precise placement.
it later will be easy. Fill in dirt around the filter, taking care not to cover the connections (figure B).

4. A vinyl hose transitions to the spa hose and the vinyl hose attaches to the trickle filter at the inlet.
