Assembly Instructions
Assemble your fountain on a level surface capable of holding a minimum of 30 lbs with an
approximate 1/2 sq. ft. footprint (actual dimensions 11.5" x 6").
Step 1 - Place the adhesive dots on the bottom of the basin to protect furniture surface that
fountain is to be placed on.
Step 2 - Position the basin (FT-252C) where the fountain is to be installed, ensuring that it is level.
Step 3 - Using a hose clamp, secure one end of the 1/2" non-kink tubing to the pump.
Step 4 - Place the pump into the basin (FT-252C) so that the cord comes up and out the back
of the fountain.

Fountain Set-Up:
Assembly & Installation - A fountain can be difficult to install without knowing and understanding the steps involved. To ensure your fountain is
installed properly, please read our instructions and tips before you begin.
Step 1 - Seek Professional Help: Check if professional installation is recommended for your fountain.
Step 2 - Check Foundation: Place your fountain on a level surface. It is recommended to place your fountain on concrete or a hard packed
gravel pad. If the base is level but some components seem off, rotate components or use wedges to level them.
Step 3 - Create a Drip Loop: To prevent water from dripping down the cord and damaging the electrical socket, create a drip loop by allowing
the pump power cord to fall below the wall outlet.
Step 4 - Use a GFCI Outlet: Use only a GFCI outlet when running a fountain.
Step 5 - Using a hose clamp, place the other end of the tubing onto the pipe protruding from the
bottom/inside of the pump cover (FT-252B).
Step 6 - Place the pump cover (FT-252B) into the back of the basin (FT-252C) so that the pipe
protruding up from the pump cover is facing up and the pump is hidden.
Step 7 - Place the hole of the aluminum spiller/insert onto the pipe sticking up out of the pump
cover so that the lip is spilling into the basin of the fountain.
Step 8 - Place the Zen Frog (FT-253A) over the spiller insert.
Step 9 - Attached the pump cord to the transformer.
Step 10 - Fill the fountain with water.
