Choosing a location
Most likely you have already decided on a location for your new Adagio Water Feature.
In the event that you are still undecided, we would like to discuss a few things to think
about as you make your decision.
Wall types
: Your water feature can be hung on a number of different wall types. We
are going to discuss the steps to hang it on a wood studded sheet rock wall. But you can
hang it on tile, stone, concrete, block, or a sheet rock wall with metal studs.
Framing
: As a general design idea it is often best to allow enough wall space to
properly frame the water feature. Depending on the surrounding décor, you may want to
allow for open wall space on all four sides.
Access
: The most demanding maintenance requirement associated with the water
feature is keeping it full of water. To facilitate maintaining the proper water level we
suggest placing the fountain in a location that is easily accessible.
Traffic
: The hood and tray of the water feature project six inches out from the wall.
Because of this, if it is placed in a narrow walkway it can act as a barrier to traffic. We
suggest placing it in an area that will not interfere with the traffic flow of the room.
Power
: The water feature requires 110 volt power and will operate at less than 2 amps.
When deciding on the location of your water feature you need to consider a power
source.
For aesthetic reasons we suggest placing the outlet directly behind the water surface. This allows the cord
to be hidden from sight. If you are going to have an electrician put in an outlet, we suggest wiring it to a
wall switch for ease of turning on and off.
If moving the outlet is not possible the cord can be run down to an existing power source.
