The Oase Pumps are adjustable. To adjust the water flow: remove the dome and support (see “To Drain the 

 

Bowl’ Instructions following). The dial on the end of the pump can be turned to increase or decrease water 

 

flow. Be prepared to get a little wet!  We prefer a lower setting which creates a more serene experience.

 

You can find specific pump information in the provided instruction manual or on line at

 www.oase-livingwater.com

 Concrete:
 

Concrete is strong but will chip or crack if knocked against hard surfaces. Take advantage of the opportunity 

 

to ask friends or neighbours for help when lifting or moving your concrete vessel. A carrying strap is provided 

 

with our 36"” and 48”" bowls.

 

Our concrete vessel has been sealed with penetrating sealer and is ready for indoor and outdoor use. It is 

 

normal for free lime or efflorescence to come to the surface of the bowl with exposure to water. This

 

efflorescence appears as a thin milky or white residue and can be buffed away using the green pad provided. 

 

We recommend resealing the bowl once per year

 

If your concrete is outside you must drain all water out of it before the first sign of freezing. Any substantial 

 

amount of water left in the vessel will freeze and may cause cracking or other damage. This is a good time to 

 

clean out any debris and to re-seal the concrete in preparation for the coming spring.

 

Plumbing Parts:

 

All of the smaller plumbing pieces are standard off-the-shelf parts that are readily available from any

 

irrigation/plumbing/hardware shop. All these pieces will be standard North American sizing and threading, 

 

generally 3/4". When looking for replacement pieces, just take the part you need to your local shop and they 

 

are sure to have a replacement.

Installation

 

**You will need 2-4 strong people  to lift and place the concrete bowl. Concrete is strong but will chip if 

 

knocked against hard surfaces so handle it with care.

 

**UK & European installation requires a qualified technician to install the appropriate electrical plug onto the 

 

pump before use.
