Installation Instructions for Fountain Basins
Thank you for purchasing an EasyPro Fountain Basin. Following are a few simple
instructions to help you during the installation process.
Your basin can be installed in one of two ways, either buried in the ground or above
ground on a deck, patio, etc. Since the majority are installed in the ground (below
grade), these instructions cover that method. If your installation uses the above grade
method you simply need to set the basin on a firm level surface. You can disguise the
basin using timbers, rocks, retaining blocks or a similar
sturdy pieces as desired.
STEP ONE
Bury the basin to your desired depth. It can be totally or
partially buried depending on your desired effect. Dig the
hole slightly larger than the basin allowing some room
for adjustment. Be sure the soil under the basin is firm
and compact.
STEP TWO
Set the basin into the hole making sure it is installed level in
both directions then back fill around it.
STEP THREE (OPTIONAL)
If installing an autofill valve, do so at this point. An autofill, such as the EasyPro BFS or
WFS37, can be mounted on any of the four walls. Install approximately 2" below the top
lip of the basin on the wall that is most convenient for your plumbing.
STEP FOUR
If excessively heavy statuary is being used additional support between the grating and
basin floor may be needed.
The 50" basin includes two pieces of deck grating to lay on top of the basin. One of the
pieces has an access door cut in the corner. Since the basin is square you can install the
grating in any orientation.
The 26" basin has a one piece grate that also has an access door in one corner and can
be installed in any direction in the basin.
Before installing grating on 26" basin ... Install the two pieces of aluminum angle into
the two sockets on opposing walls of the basin. Position the angle upside down - this
creates an upside down “V” shape for maximum strength.
STEP FIVE
Your basin also includes a section of
1
/
4
" black plastic mesh. This mesh lays over the
grating and prevents small rocks, twigs, etc. from getting into the basin.
After placing the mesh on the grating, cut a 1" hole in the mesh in the location of your
statuary piece. This allows the tubing from the statuary through the mesh down into the pump area.
