Testing

I

f you haven’t already added water to the 

Fountain Basin, add water until the basin is full 

(to the bottom of the grates). Plug in the pump 

cord to test your fountain.

Set the water flow and plume height by 

adjusting the valves with the provided red valve 

key. Use the included plastic shims to level the 

fountains for even water flow over the columns. 

If the height of the plumes is still lacking, use 

the 3 pieces of 1” x 

3/4

” clear vinyl and insert 

them into the ends of the fountain hoses. This 

will increase the height of the water plumes.

Splash should be kept to a minimum to avoid 

excessive refilling. Our optional AutoFill Kit, 

shown after Step 3, is used to keep the water 

level topped off.

Fountain Setup

Bring one of the columns to the basin and feed 

correct length of tubing through the bottom 

of the column until the end of the hose gets 

within 1-2” of the top.

Carefully stand the column up, making sure the 

hose is not pinched underneath. Excess hose 

may be fed back into the basin. Repeat with 

the remaining columns.
