OmniMaster 8 Fountain Installation Instructions
A.
Location -
Putting 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.
WARNING: ANY ELECTRICAL SERVICE MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN PER LOCAL CODES.
