STEP 4

Position & Backfill Basin

Place the basin within the hole. Make sure the 

pump opening in the grate is orientated near 

electrical service. Using a 2 - 4 ft. level ensure 

the Fountain Basin remains level side to side. 

Once the Fountain Basin is level, carefully back 

fill using excavated soil. 

Pump Plumbing

Attach 90 degree discharge assembly to Pump. 

Attach the Triton 3-way Splitter Valve and hoses to 

the discharge assembly. Tighten the hose clamps. 

The clear hoses are in fixed lengths of 8’, 7’, and 5’, 

with the longest hose going to the tallest fountain. 

These lengths correspond to the height of the water 

features. The Fountain Pump will be located beneath 

the pump access panel and inside the Fountain 

Basin. Keep the pump positioned as close to the 

opening as possible for best accessibility.

Lay the hose in the basin for now. Consider adding 

water to the basin at this time to complete the 

stabilization of the basin and save time during the 

installation process.
