Control Panel Installation
1. Inspect the panel for any damage and any components
that may have loosened during shipping.
Control panel must be installed a minimum of 5ft (3m in
Canada) from the inside wall of the pond, unless separated
from the body of water by a fence wall, or other permanent
barrier that will make the unit inaccessible to persons in the
water.
Install the control panel to a post structure, side of a
building, or other reliable means. This structure must
support the panel and prevent movement/flexing of the
panel. Use #10 x 1” or longer screws in the mounting
points of the control panel to secure to the post structure.
NOTE: The control panel must be hung upright in order to
be waterproof. It is also advised to mount the panel out of
direct sunlight if possible. Mounting the panel in a North
direction will prevent heat buildup inside the panel. Also,
mount the panel above the potential flood plain to prevent
water entry during a possible flood event.
2. Set Timer in the control panel to desired ON and OFF
times per the Instructions for each specific timer.
3.
Follow all local and national electrical codes for this
installation and Consult a qualified electrician or service
person if needed.
Plug the aerator cord into the C-25 outlet labeled “UNIT”.
If lights are included, plug the cord into the C-25 outlet
labeled “LIGHT”. Now you are ready to plug the C-25
NOTE: Pattern sizes listed are approximate.
Variations in voltage caused by regional electrical
differences or voltage drop due to long power cords
may result in reduced pattern sizes.
4. After the nozzle is prepared, attach it to the flow
straightener in 4 places using #6 x 1/2” screws and
washers.
5. The unit is now ready to be installed.
Installation Instructions
Use the ropes to position the Fountain in the desired
location in the pond/lake. Anchor the ropes or secure
them to the shoreline so the ropes are free of slack, but
not tight. To prevent twisting of the unit due to torque,
you should place the anchor at least 3 feet from the
float for each foot of depth (Ex. A 6 foot deep pond
would require an anchor 18 feet horizontally from the
float.)
ALTERNATE INSTALLATION
In ponds where the water level fluctuates significantly,
you may need to suspend a small weight (12” of 1”
galvanize pipe works well) at the mid-point of the
rope to take up any slack as the water level drops. The
weight should be light enough so the Fountain can rise
as the water level rises. This can also help hide ropes
