ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure you are assembling your fountain on a level surface capable of holding a minimum of 631 pounds
with approximately a 7.25 square foot footprint.
2. Position the basin (FT-206E) where the fountain is to be installed, ensuring that it is level.
3. Feed the pump cord through the hole in the basin leaving enough cord length inside basin to work with the
pump outside of the pump cover.
4. To ensure a level installation, bring the pump cord out through the channel in the bottom of the basin.
5. See enclosed stopper assembly instructions and complete before continuing.
6. Place the pump house (FT-206C) over the pump in the middle of the basin, ensuring that it is centered and
level.
7. Place the pedestal (FT-206B) onto the pump cover ensuring that it is centered and level.
8.
Connect the 5/8” clear end of the tubing assembly to the bottom of the water feature (FT-206A).
9. While feeding the tubing down though the pedestal, carefully place the water feature onto the pedestal
ensuring that it is centered and level.
10.
Place a hose clamp on the ½” end of the tubing assembly and while reaching into the pump house, connect
that end of the tubing assembly to the pump water outlet. Tighten the hose clamp.
a. Note
– one of the hose clamps may be placed on the tubing prior to installation as a flow restrictor if
necessary
11. Place the pump house door (FT-206D) in the access window of the pump house.
12. Place the copper sleeve on the pipe protruding up from the bowl and place the copper pipe into the sleeve.
13. Place the copper spillers on the ends of the water feature/bowl.
14. Fill the basin with approximately 17 gallons of water.
a. Note
– do not allow pump to run dry as it will cause damage to the pump.
WINTER CARE AND GENERAL FOUNTAIN INSTRUCTIONS
- W I N T E R C A R E -
Fountain bowls/tops and other fountain components, which collect water, should not be left outside in the winter since
any component, which fills with water and freezes may crack. Likewise components such as pedestals, which remain
in a basin, filled with water, which then freezes, may also crack or crumble. Ideally, therefore, a fountain should always
be stored indoors or in a dry protected place such as a covered porch away from the elements. However, if a fountain
must be left outside:
(1) Remove pump, rubber stoppers, drainpipes, finials, and other small components for storage indoors. Note
that stoppers or drainpipes are removed to allow drainage in the event water accumulates in any basin.
Compression
stoppers may be left on the pump cord for easier assembly next season.
(2) Raise fountain base from ground with wood strips so that base will not freeze to the ground surface.
(3) Cover your Campania Fountain with a Campania Fountain Cover, or wrap the fountain with burlap or other
absorbent material (old blanket or towel) and then cover securely with plastic, making sure that water will not
accumulate in the basin or other fountain component and freeze;
(4) Check fountain periodically to insure that plastic is secure and water is not accumulating in any fountain
component.
- G E N E R A L F O U N T A I N T I P S -
Install fountains on a level surface. You will need a properly grounded 110-volt (AC only) GFCI protected receptacle
near the fountain for your pump. All pumps are submersible and must be completely underwater to function properly.
Test all pumps and adjust to full output prior to assembly. It is not recommended that fountains be placed directly on
grass or dirt. Position the channel opening at the base of each fountain toward the electrical outlet to be used since the
pump cord will be threaded through this opening.
