Fountain Set-Up:
Assembly & Installation - A fountain can be difficult to install without knowing and understanding the steps involved. To ensure your fountain is
installed properly, please read our instructions and tips before you begin.
Step 1 - Seek Professional Help: Check if professional installation is recommended for your fountain.
Step 2 - Check Foundation: Place your fountain on a level surface. It is recommended to place your fountain on concrete or a hard packed
gravel pad. If the base is level but some components seem off, rotate components or use wedges to level them.
Step 3 - Create a Drip Loop: To prevent water from dripping down the cord and damaging the electrical socket, create a drip loop by allowing
the pump power cord to fall below the wall outlet.
Step 4 - Use a GFCI Outlet: Use only a GFCI outlet when running a fountain.
Step 2 - Position the large pedestal (FT-256F) over the base (FT-239J).
Step 3 - Center the large bowl (FT-256E) over the large pedestal (FT-256F).
Step 4 - Assemble the fountain plumbing:
4a - Attach the 3/4" clear end of the tubing assembly to the pump outlet.
4b - Place a hose clamp over the other end of the 1/2" non-kink tubing.
4c - Place the stopper around the pump cord approximately 8" from the pump.
Step 5 - Feed the pump cord all the way through the hole in the large bowl (FT-256E), through the
large pedestal (FT-256F), and out of the opening in the bottom of the base (FT-239J).
Step 6 - FIRMLY press the stopper into the hole evenly.
6a - Note: Using the handle of a screwdriver or hammer works best to press the stopper
in place.
Step 7 - Insert the #7 Drain Stopper into the small drain hole.
