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.
Step 6 - Place the water feature (FT-136A) over the rebar support pipes.
6a - Check that the water feature (FT-136A) and basin (FT-135C) rest flush.
6b - Check that the pump cord is not being crushed.
Step 7 - Fit the 5/8" clear tubing over the CPVC pipe protruding from the bottom of the water
feature (FT-136A).
Step 8 - Place the pump cover (FT-135B) in front of the pump assembly and push back until
properly seated.
8a - Cover should be placed with the finger hole to the bottom.
8b - Note: If cover is not installed properly, it will not fit in the basin.
Step 9 - Fill the fountain with water.
