OmniFount 3, 5 and 10
Installation Instructions
A. Location -
Putting the fountain in a location that offers protection from the wind will enhance the performance
of the fountain. Livestock will tend to gather in this protected area, enticing them to drink more. Access panel should
be opposite of prevailing winter wind to give additional protection to the supply line.
B. Water Supply Line
- Horizontal underground water line should be sized to account for pressure drop, relating
to distance, and placed one foot below frost line. A one-inch vertical supply pipe is recommended. A shut-off valve
should be installed under fountain to allow for easier servicing. For optimum serviceability, a stop and waste valve
can be installed below frost level to drain water when unit is not in use. Vertical supply line must be centered in
riser tube to provide an air space between the line and frozen ground outside of tube. Flush water supply line
thoroughly before connection to fountain. Water supplies with foreign material such as sand, rust, etc. may require
a filter to keep fountain valve working properly.
C.
Electric Supply
– It is generally most cost effective to run your electrical supply line at the same time you are
trenching for your water supply.
