- 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.
(2) Raise fountain base from ground with wood strips so that base will not freeze to the ground surface.
(3) 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 ensure that plastic is secure and water is not accumulating in any fountain component.

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.
