ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure you are assembling your fountain on a level surface capable of holding a minimum of 547 pounds
in approximately an 8 square foot area.
2. Place the Basin (FT-103D) into position where the fountain will be installed.
3. Feed the pump cord through the hole in the basin leaving enough cord length to work with the pump outside
the pump cover.
4. See enclosed stopper assembly instructions and complete before continuing.
5. Pull the pump cord all the way through the bottom of the basin.
6. To ensure a level installation, bring the pump cord out through the channel in the bottom of the basin.
7. Place a hose clamp over one end of the 12” length of 5/8” non kink tubing.
8. Connect that end of the tubing to the pump outlet. Tighten the hose clamp to ensure a good seal.
9. If you wish to use one of the hose clamps as a flow restrictor, you must install it on the tubing at this point.
10. Place the pump cover (FT-103B) over the pump. Ensure it is centered and leveled.
11. Place the Water Feature (FT-103A) on top of the pump cover. Ensure it is centered and leveled.
12. Place a hose clamp over the other end of the 12” length of 5/8” non kink tubing and attach it to the bottom pipe
of the water feature. Tighten the hose clamp to ensure a good seal.
13. Place the pump cover door (FT-103C) in the pump access opening of the pump cover
14. Place the copper pipe extension on top of the copper pipe protruding up from the water feature.
15. Fill the basin with approximately 20 gallons of water.
a. NOTE: Do not run fountain without sufficient water. If the pump is allowed to run dry, it can damage
the pump.
WINTER CARE AND GENERAL FOUNTAIN INSTRUCTIONS
-W I N T E R C A R E -
Fountain bowls/tops and other fountain components, which collect water, should not be left outside in the winter since
any component, which fills with water and freezes may crack. Likewise components such as pedestals, which remain
in a basin, filled with water, which then freezes, may also crack or crumble. Ideally, therefore, a fountain should always
be stored indoors or in a dry protected place such as a covered porch away from the elements. However, if a fountain
must be left outside:
(1) Remove pump, rubber stoppers, drainpipes, finials, and other small components for storage indoors. Note
that stoppers or drainpipes are removed to allow drainage in the event water accumulates in any basin. Compression
stoppers may be left on the pump cord for easier assembly next season.
(2) Raise fountain base from ground with wood strips so that base will not freeze to the ground surface.
(3) Cover or wrap the fountain with burlap or other absorbent material (old blanket or towel) and then cover
securely with plastic, making sure that water will not accumulate in the basin or other fountain component and freeze;
(4) Check fountain periodically to insure that plastic is secure and water is not accumulating in any fountain
component.
-G E N E R A L F O U N T A I N T I P S -
Install fountains on a level surface. You will need a properly grounded 110-volt (AC only) GFCI protected receptacle
near the fountain for your pump. All pumps are submersible and must be completely underwater to function properly.
Test all pumps and adjust to full output prior to assembly. It is not recommended that fountains be placed directly on
grass or dirt. Position the channel opening at the base of each fountain toward the electrical outlet to be used since the
pump cord will be threaded through this opening.
