1 – ¾” PVC pipe 5 1/4”lg 1 - 3/4" clear tubing 1 1/2” long
1 – 1 ¼” X ¾” reducer bushing (SP X SLIP) 1 - tube of silicone
1 - 1" clear tubing 54” long 1 – ¾” thread barb adapter

1. Prepare a level base of 4” poured concrete or 6” compacted crushed limestone. The completed 8’ fountain pool has
an outside base diameter of 103”.
2. Find the 8’ fiberglass pool. In the center of the pool there is a threaded insert. Find the 1 1/4" male adapter, apply
Teflon tape on the threaded end and screw it into the threaded insert. Find the piece of 1 1/4" PVC pipe 1 1/4" long and
glue it into the slip end of the 1 1/4" male adapter.
3. Find the pump and the rubber stopper. Slip the rubber stopper onto the power cord about 24” from the pump. Place
the pump in the center of the pool and run the plug end of the power cord down through the adapter in the center of the
pool. Retrieve the power cord from bottom side of pool. Find the tube of silicone and apply around the inside edge of the
adapter and the outside edge of the rubber stopper. Insert the rubber stopper snugly into the PVC pipe in the center of
the pool. Apply silicone on top and around the rubber stopper and power cord. Don’t skimp on the silicone you want a
watertight seal.
4. Place the 8’ fiberglass pool in the center of the area where the fountain is to be displayed. Retrieve the power cord
from bottom side of pool and place in the groove in the bottom of pool.
5. Find the pump house and carefully position it in the center of the pool. The opening in the pump house should face
toward back of fountain. Find the fountain pedestal and carefully position it on top of the pump house and level in all
directions
6. This step is done for you. Find the 1¼” x ¾” reducer bushing (SP X FIPT) and the ¾” thread barb adapter and screw
the two pieces together. Find the 3/4" clear tubing 1 1/2” long and slip it onto the barbed end of the ¾” thread barb
adapter. Find the piece of 1" clear tubing and a hose clamp and attach one end over the ¾” clear tubing on the barbed
end of the ¾” thread barb adapter with a hose clamp. This will be the tubing assembly.
7. Find the large shell. In the center of the large shell there is a coupling. Insert the bushing end on the tubing assembly
into the coupling on the BOTTOM side of the large shell. Push until the bushing bottoms out.
Place the large shell on top of the pedestal feeding the 1” clear tubing down the hole in the center of the pedestal.
Position the shell on the pedestal and level in all directions.
8. This step is done for you. Find the 1¼” X ¾” reducer bushing (SP X SLIP) and the ¾” PVC pipe 5 1/4” long. Apply
silicone (or PVC glue) on one end of the ¾” PVC pipe then insert that end of the ¾” PVC pipe into the ¾” end of the
reducer bushing until the ¾” PVC pipe bottoms out. This will be the nozzle assembly.
9. Insert the bushing end on the nozzle assembly into the coupling on the TOP side of the large shell. Push until the
bushing bottoms out.

Remove any tape and or dirt from the drain insert before you insert the drain plug.

radius of the wall section with the inside radius of the fiberglass pool.
13. Fill the pool and shell with tap water and plug pump into a 110VAC GFCI protected outlet. Find the square plug and
install into the opening in the pump house.
