TOOLS NECESSARY FOR INSTALLATION:
Shovel, level, box knife or scissors and marker paint (optional).
STEP 1
– CHOOSING YOUR FOUNTAIN BASE LOCATION
Choose a location for the 2’x2’ pondless
reservoir and use the base (or marker paint,
if available) to mark the ground.
NOTE: When choosing a location for
your fountain, select an area large
enough to accommodate the base AND
any possible water overspray. The base
should not be put near vegetation or
structures not suitable for excessively wet conditions.
STEP 2
– DIGGING THE FOUNTAIN BASE HOLE
Follow the outline and dig a 6”-7” deep
hole. If the soil is soft or unstable, then
dig the hole 3” deeper, and back fill
with 3” of crushed rock or gravel. This
will provide a solid foundation for the
fountain base.
STEP 3
– LEVELING THE FOUNTAIN BASE
Insert the fountain base into the hole
and use a level to make sure the base is
level front-to-back and side-to-side. Use
previously removed soil to backfill around
the fountain base. Be sure to pack the dirt
in as tightly as possible because settling will
occur.
The triangular corner grate piece is
used to access the pump.
