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 help 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. (Please note: the hardware given is only for a wood-studded sheet rock wall. You may need

additional hardware for other wall types.)

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 will project 6 to 7 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 60Hz power and will operate at less than 10 amps. When deciding on

the location of your water feature you need to consider a power source.

For aesthetic reasons we suggest placing an outlet directly behind the water surface. This allows the cord to be

hidden. If you are going to have an electrician put in an outlet, we suggest having it wired to a wall switch for ease of

turning it 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 Box

Before beginning the installation unpack and un-wrap everything. The pebbles, electrical cord etc. are packed

underneath the plastic tray (pebble shelf). (1) Loosen the screw from the pebble shelf and remove it. The packet

will be underneath. (2) Clean out and discard any packing material and debris.

IF ANY ITEMS WERE DAMAGED IN TRANSIT PLEASE CONTACT ADAGIO IMEDIATELY!! (801-255-9484)

Adagio will not assume responsibility for freight damages not reported within 48 hours of delivery. Please take

photos of any damaged items as this will assist us in sending replacement parts.

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,

please refer to the chart on page 2 for dimensions.

(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) The wall bracket is attached to the top, back of the water feature.

Remove the bracket from the feature.

(2) 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.

(3) Mounting the Bracket. Use the included lead EZ anchors and 1

inch screws to fasten the 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.

D - Attaching the Pump and Cords

(1) The pump is already plugged into the light bar at the top of the water feature. The hose should already be

attached to the water distribution unit at the top of the water panel and the pump.

(2) Make sure the hose has not come undone or kinked during shipping.

(3) Plug the electrical cord in to the light bar at the top. If you have an outlet behind the feature drop the power

cord down behind the water surface (under the hood back that attaches to the wall) and plug it in to the wall outlet. If

you do not have an outlet behind the feature send the power cord down one of the hollow frame pieces on either side.

It will come out the bottom and allow you to plug it in.

E - Install the Water Feature on the Mounting Bracket

Hang the water feature on the wall mounted 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, as shown below.

F - Pebbles and Water

If you have not already reinstalled the pebble shelf you may do so now, and secure it with the screw.

(1) Carefully set the pebbles on the shelf. Please be sure that none of the pebbles rest against the water surface, as it

may cause splashing.

We recommend always using distilled water. Distilled water will help prolong the life of

your water feature and make it much easier to maintain.

(2) Now you can fill the water tray. When filling/refilling your

water feature we always recommend slowly pouring the water

directly on the water surface. Make sure to keep the water filled

above the pump and no higher than the water fill line on the warning label. Do not

fill the feature while it is running as this can lead to overfilling the liner. Overfilling

the liner forces water between the liner and the tray and can cause the tray to appear

as if it is leaking.

G - Testing the water flow

After filling your water feature you need to prepare your water distribution unit and test the water flow.

(1) First, clean the front surface of the water distribution unit with the

provided scotch-brite pad. Rub the pad back and forth on the entire surface

until it is noticeably cleaner and shinier. Be sure to clean over the top edge and

the bottom lip thoroughly. This removes any dust or debris that might have

accumulated since production.

DO NOT touch the copper to even the water flow over the unit, as this can

leave behind natural oils that block the water from flowing over the

distribution unit.

Mirror Prep –If you have a mirror water feature we send a product called Mirror Prep. This is designed to help the

water flow evenly over the surface. Apply with a wet cloth and wipe it on the entire mirror surface. Make sure to apply

the prep to the outer edges of the surface. Let it dry for 2-3 minutes and then remove it with a clean wet cloth.

Water Flow:

(2) Plug in the water feature. Plug the power cord to an outlet or an extension

cord and turn your feature on. The Water Distribution Unit and Baffle should be

set to allow proper water flow. This step is for testing purposes only. It usually

takes 10-20 minutes to get the entire surface completely wet. After this time you

should be able to tell if there are any dry spots.

NOTE: 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.

Adjusting the Baffle:

(3) Remove the white baffle from the water distribution unit. To

do so, flatten the upper set of copper tabs on the baffle, this will

allow it to roll up and out of the distribution unit. On the underside

of the baffle you will notice an additional set of copper tabs (you

must remove the baffle completely to access these tabs). These

tabs act as small dams for the water. The water enters the

distribution unit directly in the middle of these two tabs.

(A) Adjust the bottom copper tabs. The tabs can be adjusted in or out to

direct the water flow to each side or in the middle. These two tabs are

ONLY used to for water flow adjustments.

For Example: If you are experiencing lack of water flow in the middle

you will want to adjust these tabs down to dam more water towards the

middle of the water feature.

(B) Now reinstall the baffle into the distribution unit and bend the upper copper tabs back into place. These tabs strictly

hold the baffle in place. You do not need to force the tabs up. Bend them up until the baffle will not come out of the

distribution unit, but still has a little room to move.

any natural oils that may have been transferred from your fingers.

You may have to repeat this process until you have the desired water flow.

Outer Edge Adjustment Tabs:

The outer edge adjustment tabs are on either end of the water

distribution unit. These tabs control the water flow at the edges of the

surface. If there is a large amount of water flow at one or both of the

edges of your water feature you may experience a small amount of

dripping off these tabs.

(4) If this occurs, simply bend the tabs in and back to redirect the

water on to the surface. The tabs should be touching the front of the

copper unit, the copper is made out of a pliable copper so tabs will not

break or crack when bent.

- DO NOT apply the scoth-brite pad to mirror or custom engraved logos, they can get scratched -

H –Lighting

Now screw in the supplied light bulb(s) into the socket(s):

50 watt halogen GU10 bulb(s) are included as a courtesy (this bulb is not covered under the warranty). Replacement

bulbs can be purchased at most hardware stores. Please refer to the chart on page 2 for how many bulbs come with your

feature.

- WARNING: As always, never remove or insert the power cords or light bulbs while the

water feature is turned on. Doing so could result in electric shock. -

Maintenance

Filling the Water Tray: Correct Incorrect

The biggest maintenance requirement is keeping the water tray full of water. The amount

of use and the climate will determine how often you need to fill it. Be sure the water

level stays at least above the top of the pump and never past the water fill line or above

the Pebble Beach Shelf. Filling the water tray more than this can result in water going

over the top of the plastic liner and leaking onto the floor. ONLY fill the water tray when

the water feature is turned off. To fill the tray, slowly pour the water onto the water

surface (stone, glass or mirror). This allows the water to flow into the tray without

splashing.

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 stone or metal.

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 the 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 buildup. If it does not,

the stone may require a more aggressive cleaning with Lime-A-Way or CLR.

For cleaning custom engravings please see below.*

Foul-Water / Algae:

If your water feature is in direct sunlight or near a window or door that is often open the stone may begin to

grow algae. This manifests itself as a slight slime on the stone or a foul-water smell. The best way to combat

this is with a few drops of bleach once or twice a month. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of

using only two or three drops at a time and never more than once a week. Too much bleach will discolor

the water feature surface 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 if using distilled water. We recommend

cleaning it more often if using tap water. 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, DO NOT to use the scotch-brite pad, acrylic brush or any sort of

chemical over the area of the engraving. This could result in the custom color being removed from the stone.

We recommend going over the area with a soft cloth and distilled water.
