ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure you are assembling your fountain on a level surface capable of holding a minimum of 76 pounds
with approximately a 1 ¾ square foot footprint.
2. Place the adhesive dots on the bottom of the planter (P-580) to protect furniture surface that fountain is to be
placed on.
3. Position the Planter where the fountain is to be installed, ensuring that it is level.
4. Feed the pump cord all the way through the hole in the basin (FT-175B).
5. Leave enough cord inside the basin so that you can work with the pump, but not so much that it fills the pump
well.
6. Fit cord into stopper.
7. Press stopper firmly into the hole of basin.
8. Repeat steps 6 – 7 with the planter basin.
9. Place the basin into the planter assuring that it is centered and level.
10. Make sure the appropriate enclosed fitting (1/2” diameter) is inserted into the pump water outlet.
11. Place a hose clamp over the 1/2” end of the tubing assembly.
12. Insert that end of the tubing onto the pump water outlet and tighten the clamp.
a. Note – one of the hose clamps may be placed on the tubing prior to installation as a flow restrictor if
necessary
13. Place another hose clamp over the 5/8” end of the tubing and insert that over the copper pipe protruding down
from the bottom of the water feature.
14. Place the water feature (FT-175A) over the pump into the basin.
15. Fill basin with approximately 3/4 gallons of water.
16. The planter can now be filled with soil and planted.
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.
(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 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.
