Assembly Instructions
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.
Assemble your fountain on a level surface capable of holding a minimum
of 433 lbs with an approximate 1.5 sq. ft. footprint (actual dimensions 30" x
30").
Step 1 -
Position the fountain basin where the fountain will be installed, ensuring
that it is level.
Step 2 -
Remove the basin disc from the basin.
Step 3 -
Feed the pump cord through the standpipe in the basin until the cord exits
the bottom of the basin and can be plugged in.
3a -
Leave enough cord length inside of the basin to work with the pump
sitting flat on its side in the bottom of the basin.
3b -
To ensure a level installation, bring the pump cord out through the
channel in the bottom of the basin.
Step 4 -
Place the #10 stopper around the pump cord approximately 8-12" from
the pump.
Step 5 -
Press the stopper firmly into the standpipe in the basin and place the pump
flat inside the basin.
Step 6 -
Place the 3/4" clear vinyl side of the tubing assembly onto the water outlet
of the pump.
Step 7 -
Insert the straight hose adapter into the end of the non-kink tubing.
Step 8 -
Connect the non-kink tubing with the straight hose adapter into the hole on
the bottom of the jar (Fig. D). Safely position the jar on the top of the pump
cover so it is level.
Step 9 -
Fill the bottom basin and jar with about 35 gallons of water (totaled
between the two). The pump inside the basin should be fully submerged.
Step 10 -
The fountain is ready for action! Plug in the pump to a working outlet
and enjoy!
