Installation Instructions

Choosing a location
Most likely you have already decided on a location for your new Adagio Water Feature.
In the event that you are still undecided, we would like to discuss a few things to think
about as you make your decision.
Wall types: Your water feature can be hung on a number of different wall types. We
are going to discuss the steps to hang it on a wood studded sheet rock wall. But you can
hang it on tile, stone, concrete, block, or a sheet rock wall with metal studs.
Framing: As a general design idea it is often best to allow enough wall space to
properly frame the water feature. Depending on the surrounding décor, you may want to
allow for open wall space on all four sides.
Access: The most demanding maintenance requirement associated with the water
feature is keeping it full of water. To facilitate maintaining the proper water level we
suggest placing the fountain in a location that is easily accessible.
Traffic: The hood and tray of the water feature project six inches out from the wall.
Because of this, if it is placed in a narrow walkway it can act as a barrier to traffic. We
suggest placing it in an area that will not interfere with the traffic flow of the room.
Power: The water feature requires 110 volt power and will operate at less than 2 amps.
When deciding on the location of your water feature you need to consider a power
source.
For aesthetic reasons we suggest placing the outlet directly behind the water surface. This allows the cord
to be hidden from sight. If you are going to have an electrician put in an outlet, we suggest wiring it to a
wall switch for ease of turning on and off.
If moving the outlet is not possible the cord can be run down to an existing power source.

A - Unpacking the crate and box
Before beginning the installation we suggest unpacking and unwrapping everything. Be sure to set it aside
and out of the way to avoid damaging it or hurting yourself.
B - Marking the wall
Before you begin hanging the brackets you need to mark the wall in a few places.
(1) First, you need to have a clear idea of where on the wall the water feature is going to hang.
To help with this, your water feature is 36 inches tall by 21 inches wide
(2) Next, using a pencil, put a small dot on the wall to represent the top center of the water feature.
(3)Lastly mark where each stud is in the area of the water feature. These marks will be covered by
the water feature when everything is completed. You may want to use a stud finder to insure the accuracy
of the marks.
C- Locate and mount the wall bracket

(1) Using the top center mark, position the wall bracket and mark the slots on the wall. Take extra
care to insure the wall bracket is level on the wall.
(2) Mount the Bracket. Use the included lead EZ anchors and 1 inch screws to fasten bracket into the
sheetrock. In the area of a stud use the longer 2.5 inch screws directly into the stud
We recommend fastening into at least one stud.
(Additional assembly for mirror surface)
Because of the possibility of breaking in shipment, the mirror is removed from the frame and packaged
separately. Reinstallation is easy:
1. Unpack the mirror. Be careful of potential sharp corners and edges.
2. Remove the 2 screws holding the copper Water Distribution Unit to the rear panel at the top and
remove the unit.
3. Slide the mirror panel into the groves of the frame until it is all the way down to the plastic liner.
4. Replace the copper Water Distribution Unit so that the front lip overlaps the glass and reattach
with the two screws
E- Attaching the Pump and cords
The pump comes with two plastic outlet adapters.
(1) Insert the large adapter into the pump (it will be very snug).
(2) Attach the clear hose to the pump adapter. Use the included plastic hose clamp to insure a tight fit.
(3) Insert the pump into the lower water tray and feed the attached clear hose and the power cord
to behind the water surface. These will run up behind the water surface.
(4) Plug the pump in. The pump should be plugged into one end of the light bar at the top.
(5) Plug the power cord into the other side of the light bar. If your outlet will be behind the water
feature feed the cord to behind the water surface. If your outlet is beneath the water feature you can feed
the power cord down the open cavity on the right or left side of the water feature.

F- Install the water feature on the mounting bracket
(1) Hang the Serene Water Feature on the Wall Bracket. Use the clips on the bracket and the square
holes on the water feature. Push down gently until the water feature in snug on the clips and hanging
level.
G- Pebbles and Water
(1) Install the pebble shelf into the water tray at the bottom. Take care to fit the pump into the
provided opening to allow the pebble shelf to set evenly in the tray.
(2) Carefully set the pebbles on the shelf. Please be sure that no pebbles rest against the water surface.
Pebbles against the water surface can cause splashing.
(3) Now you can fill the water tray with water. Be sure not to over fill the tray. Keep the water level
at least one inch from the top at all times.
We recommend filling the water tray when the water feature is turned off.

H- Adjusting water flow
Mirrored Water Features:
Sometimes when the glass water surface is dirty the water will not cover properly. First, clean the glass
thoroughly. Then, apply a thin coat of the “mirror prep” solution included with your water feature by
simply wiping it onto the mirror. Lastly, with a damp rag or paper towel, wipe off the mirror prep
solution. After you run the water for a short time you may see light streaks. If so shut the water off and
while the water surface is wet wipe it them off.
Baffle:
The Baffle should already be firmly in place and ready to
use. But in the event that it has come loose or it needs to
be removed and replaced for adjusting or cleaning, we
will discuss how it works.
You will notice two sets of copper tabs. The upper set of
tabs is used as handles and to keep the Baffle in place.
The lower set is used to control water flow. To remove or
replace the baffle flatten the upper set of tabs downward
to allow the baffle to roll into or out of the Water
Distribution Unit.
When replacing it; once it is in, be sure it is square to
the Water Distribution Unit, then bend the upper tabs
up until they push against the top lip of the Water
Distribution Unit. Doing this will keep the Baffle
firmly in place and allow the water to flow properly.

Water Flow:
The Water Distribution Unit and Baffle should be set to allow proper water flow. In the event the water
does not flow properly please follow the following steps.
First, be sure the Water Distribution Unit is clean. Go over surface of the Water Distribution Unit with the
included Scotch Brite pad.
If there is still any area of the Water Distribution
where water is not flowing properly, adjustments to
the baffle will need to be made. Simply shut off the
fountain, flatten the upper tabs, and remove the baffle
by rolling it up and out of the Water Distribution Unit.
Now you will need to adjust the lower tabs to shift the water to the areas that are dry. These tabs act like
dams controlling where the water will flow. If the center is not getting enough water, pull the tabs down
so they hold more water in the center. Or, to allow more water to one side or the other you can flatten one
or both a little to shift water to either side. You may need to adjust the tabs a few times to get the water to
flow properly.
Before turning the Water Feature back
on, be sure the baffle has been properly
re-installed into the Water Distribution
Unit. Be sure the Baffle is square to the
Water Distribution Unit, then bend the
upper tabs up until they push against the
top lip of the Water Distribution Unit.
Doing this will keep the Baffle firmly in
place and allow the water to flow
properly.

Maintenance
Filling Water Tray:
The biggest maintenance requirement is keeping the water tray full of water. Because of evaporation your
water feature will put moisture into the air. The amount of use and the climate will determine how often
you need the fill it. Be sure the water level stays at least above the top of the pump and no more than one
inch from the top of the tray. Filling the water tray any more than one inch from the top can result in
water going over the top of the plastic liner and leaking onto the floor. We also recommend filling the
water tray when the water feature is turned off.
To avoid almost all cleaning and to prolong the life of your water feature, we strongly suggest using
distilled water. This will not leave hard water build-up on the water surface, metal, or pump.
Cleaning Metal:
When it is time to clean the metal portion of the water feature we recommend using a non-abrasive
cleaner with ammonia in it. Most window or glass cleaner works well.
Dull Stone:
Over time, if your stone color dulls or you begin to accumulate hard water buildup, turn off the pump and
scrub the stone vigorously with a firm bristled acrylic brush. This should remove most of the build up. If
it does not, the stone may require a more aggressive cleaning with Lime-A-Way or CLR.
Flow Water / Algae:
If your water feature is in direct sunlight or near a window or door that is often open the water surface
may begin to grow algae. This manifests itself as a slight slime on or a foul water smell. The best way to
combat this is with a few drops of bleach once or twice a month. We can not emphasize enough the
importance of using only two or three drops at a time and never more than once a week. Too much
bleach can bleach the water feature and create an uncomfortable chlorine smell. The use of too much
bleach will void all warranties.
Full Fountain Cleaning:
We recommend doing a full fountain cleaning once or twice per year. This will involve removing all the
water from the water tray and cleaning it out, scrubbing down the stone with an acrylic brush, and taking
apart the Water Distribution Unit and cleaning it.
Custom Engraving:
If your stone has a custom engraving be sure NOT to use the scotch brite pad or an acrylic brush over the
area of the engraving. This could result in the custom color being removed from the stone.
