FOUNTAIN
INSTALLATION MANUAL
2 OF 2
Installing Rock:
Place the rock on the basin, and feed the hose into the fountain, until the
hose is within a half inch from the top of the fountain. Carefully stand the
fountain up. Once completed, place the stainless steel access panel back
over the opening.
Add water and test:
If you haven’t already added water to the Fountain Basin, add water until
the basin is full. Test your fountain by adjusting the valve with the red valve
key. Splash should be kept to a minimum to avoid excessive refilling.
Position the valve to allow for optimal water coverage, sound and
aesthetic water flow. Use the included shims to level the fountain so that
water flows evenly over the sides.
Finish:
Add decorative gravel or stone to the top of the basin, to complete your
fountain setup.

Winterizing:
• If you live in a climate that experiences prolonged freezing conditions
then we recommend removing the pump from the basin. Place the pump
in a bucket of water and store it in a place that will not freeze.
• Do not drain the basin during the winter months- allow the water to freeze
in the basin so that the ground doesn’t cause the basin to rise or “pop up”
from expansion of the freezing soil around it.
• We recommend covering the fountain during the winter months or moving
it inside.
Spring Start-Up:
• Once everything has thawed in the spring we recommend draining the
water in the basin and replacing it with fresh, clean water.
• Reconnect the pump and plug it in.
• Add FeatureClear™ to remove any remaining muck that was not able to
be removed manually.
Fountain System & Maintenance:
• Fill evaporated water as necessary or consider installing an auto-fill valve
kit #110262
• Add FeatureClear™ Water Feature Cleaner #200154 to Basin to ensure
muck doesn’t build-up over time and clog pump.
• If algae forms on fountain use FeatureClear™ #200279.
• It is OK to run pump continuously 24/7 or you may connect it to a timer.
