Solus DOME 26 Installation & Operation Manual Download Page 4

Your water bowl can be used indoors or outdoors. 

INDOORS: 

BEWARE! THERE IS ALWAYS POTENTIAL FOR WATER DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING MATERIALS AND FINISHES!

 

+ You will need a level surface on which to place your water feature. An unlevel surface will result in 

 

uneven water flow. Please use shims to level your water feature.

 

+Please use the feet provided.  The feet will create an airflow space between the concrete and your 

 

flooring and will minimize the moisture exchange with your floor. Check the space under the bowl 

 

for moisture as trapped water can damage flooring. 

 
 

+Solus is not responsible for any damage to surfaces caused by water.  The feet will also protect 

 

your flooring from being scratched by the rough concrete base.

 

+See the special indoor draining instructions further down in the document in the Draining section.

 

+Our water features have the potential to splash and create a slipping hazard. For indoor use we 

 

recommend using the minimum water levels and a low pump setting to reduce/eliminate splashing. 

 

See the ‘installation and care’ section for water level recommendations.

 

+Excessive use of chlorine in the water may damage the pump and void the warranty.  Use an

 

alternate non-chlorinated biocide (water additive) that is safe for magnetic driven pumps.

OUTDOORS:

 

+Always drain the water out of the bowl before any threat of freezing. Water left in the bowl through 

 

a freeze thaw cycle can cause cracking of the concrete vessel.

 

+It is normal for concrete to etch when exposed to the elements. Over time aggregate will become exposed 

 

on concrete surfaces. To minimize weathering we recommend covering your water bowl when it is not in use 

 

and during winter months. For information on our tailored  All Weather covers please call us at 604-255-2472 

 

or visit our website @  www.solusdecor.com

 
 

+Never use chlorine in the water as it will damage the pump and void the warranty. You can

 

purchase water additives to accomplish the same outcome. Water additives will discourage the
