Installation Instructions
A. Location -
Installing the fountain in a location that offers protection from the wind will enhance the
performance of the fountain. Livestock will tend to gather in this protected area, enticing them to drink more.
Access panel should be opposite of prevailing winter wind to give additional protection to the supply line.
B. Water Supply Line
- Horizontal underground water line should be sized to account for pressure drop,
relating to distance, and placed one foot below frost line. A one-inch vertical supply pipe is recommended. A
shut-off valve should be installed under fountain to allow for easier servicing. For optimum serviceability, a stop
and waste valve can be installed below frost level to drain water when unit is not in use. Vertical supply line must
be centered in riser tube to provide an air space between the line and frozen ground outside of tube. Flush water
supply line thoroughly before connection to fountain. Water supplies with foreign material such as sand, rust, etc.
may require a filter to keep fountain valve working properly.
C. Electric Supply
– It is generally most cost effective to run your electrical supply line at the same time you are
trenching for your water supply.
