Floating Pond Pump System
Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Fountain Installation
1. Required Tools and Supplies:
a. 3/8" or larger nylon rope to
anchor/moor fountain unit
b. Stakes or weights to anchor/moor
unit
d. Flat screwdriver
e. 5/16" Nut driver
f. Crimping tool (for cable splicing
only)
g. Torch or heat gun for shrink tube
splice kit(for cable splicing only)
h. Multimeter to check voltage,
current and insulation resistance to
ground
i. Post(s) to mount control center
j. Bolts to attach control center to
post(s)
2. Prepare unit for installation in pond
a. The unit ships with the Water
Lilly nozzle installed. Refer to
Figures 1, 2 and 3 for spray pattern
appearance. To change to one of
the other 2 nozzles, remove the
4 screws with a 5/16” nut driver
or flat screwdriver and replace
with desired nozzle. Nozzles are
marked “This side up”. Make sure
o-ring is seated in groove before
installing nozzle. Tighten screws
until seated, approximately 10 to
12 in-lbs.
b. If installing the optional “Night
Bright” lighting system, follow
instructions included with light
system for proper installation.
c. Determine length and proper
size of cable per Wire Size Table
1. Splice additional cable up to
250 feet total cable length using
included heat shrink splice kit.
DO NOT EXCEED maximum cable
length or use smaller cable than
specified as system damage may
occur.
Never enter the water either
wading, swimming or in a
boat with the pump power on, as this
may result in severe electrical shock.
1. Only install this system in ponds
where no swimming, wading,
boating or fishing is allowed while
system is operating. Disconnect
power to pump before fishing or
entering the water.
2. Post appropriate warning signs per
local and state codes.
3. Install fountain in pond. (See Fig 4
for typical installation).
a. Prior to installation, measure
water depth. All fountains require
5 ft minimum water depth for
proper operation.
b. Position anchor weights or
mooring stakes 180° apart and
equidistant from desired fountain
location. Attach nylon anchor/
mooring ropes to weights or stakes
then attach to 2 eyebolts located
at top of fountain screen. Make
sure to leave only enough slack in
rope to accommodate anticipated
water level fluctuations.

c. Place power cord so that it rests
on bottom of pond away from
sharp rocks or vegetation so it
can be easily removed without
being damaged or becoming
entangled. Leave enough slack to
accommodate anticipated water
level fluctuations.
NOTE: It is suggested that the
underwater power cables be installed
in conduit from the panel to 4 -5 ft into
the water to prevent possible cable
damage.
4. Before connecting the unit to the
control center, check to insure there
is no leakage to ground. This can be
done by using an ohm meter and
setting the scale to its highest setting
(i.e. Rx100K). Connect one ohmmeter
lead to the unit power cord ground
and to one of the power conductors.
It should read infinite or at least 2
mega ohms. Repeat with the other
conductor. If reading is below 2
mega ohms on either conductor
contact Customer Service Help Line
at 1-800-742-5044.
"NO SWIMMING” AND OR
WARNING SIGNS SHOULD BE
POSTED PER STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
Water leaving nozzle is at high
velocity and can cause bodily injury if
contact is made.
Always use caution when
operating electrical controls
in damp areas. If possible, avoid all
contact with electrical equipment
during thunderstorms or extreme
damp conditions.
System Control Center
installation and electrical
connection
1. All work must be done in compliance
with local and national electrical
codes by licensed, qualified
electrician. Refer to Fig. 6 in these
instructions or on inside of panel
door for proper wiring.
2. Control Center mounting location.
(See fig. 4 for typical installation)
a. Mount control center a minimum
of 3 feet above ground and a
minimum of 3 feet above the high
water level in a flood zone.
b. Mount control center a minimum
of 5 feet horizontally from
shoreline during maximum flood
condition. (Control center must not
be accessible from water)
c. Always keep control center door
closed, bolted and locked when not
servicing.
3. Have a licensed, qualified electrician
make final connections of fountain
and optional lights to system control
center.
4. Have a licensed, qualified electrician
install disconnecting means in
compliance with local and national
electrical codes.
5. Have a licensed, qualified electrician
make connection to power source.
6. Apply power to unit and set timers
as described in the Setting Timers
section.
7. Test the ground fault interrupter
for proper operation by depressing
the “test” button. (See Fig. 6) The
fountain should shut off. Press the
“reset” button to restart the system.
If pressing the “test” button does not
stop the unit, immediately shut off
power to unit and contact Customer
Service Help Line at
1-800-742-5044.
!
FAILURE TO CONNECT THIS UNIT
TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER
SUPPLY MAY RESULT IN SEVERE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Setting timers
NOTE: Set the pump timer for all
installations. Set the light timer when
installing the optional NightBright
lighting system.
IMPORTANT: Rotate the dial in clockwise
direction only! Rotating dial counter
clockwise will damage the timer!
1. Set the on-off time zones.
a) The timer consists of 96 setting
pins. Each represents 15 minutes in
a 24 hour day revolution. Fold the
pins inward during the time of day/
night the pump and/or lights are
desired to run.
*Do not attempt to fold in the 8 closest
pins to the “present time”. This can
damage the switch. Proceed with
these pins by turning the inner
dial clockwise until they are 4 pin
locations away from the “present
time”. Once cleared of this location,
fold inward the desired pins.
b)Rotate the dial clockwise to verify
operation of the trippers.
c) The timer may be overridden by
repositioning the manual switch in
the bottom right hand corner of
the timer. In the ON position the
output power will be continuous
regardless of the timer pin settings.
In the OFF position the output
power will be cut off regardless of
the timer pin settings. The output
power will be turned on and off at
the set points when in the AUTO
position.
2. Setting the clock. (24 hr clock)
a) Turn the dial clockwise until the
arrowhead is aligned with the
Present Time.
b)The timers include built in battery
backup for maintaining time
during power outages.

occur. Disconnect main power supply
before handling system for any
reason.
MAINTENANCE
1. Test the GFI monthly by depressing
the test button.
2. The screen and nozzle should be
cleaned as required to maintain
proper water flow.
3. At least once a year, thoroughly
inspect the fountain, underwater
cable and anchor/mooring lines
for physical damage. Replace any
damaged components.
WINTER STORAGE
1. Remove fountain from pond.
