900 pounds with approximately a 8 square foot footprint.
2. Place the base (FT-290F) into position where the fountain will be installed, ensuring that it is
level..
3. Feed the pump cord through the large, centered hole in the base to ensure it’s level.
4. Pull the pump cord all the way through the bottom of the base leaving enough cord length in the
base to work with the pump.
5. See enclosed stopper assembly instructions and complete before continuing.
6. Place the drain stopper in the remaining smaller hole and tighten.
7. Place the pump cover (FT-290D) inside (FT-290F) over the pump, ensuring that it is centered and
level.
8. Connect the ¾” end of the tubing assembly to the pump outlet.
a. Note: If you wish to use one of the hose clamps as a flow restrictor, you must install it on
the tubing at this point.
9. Place a hose clamp over the ½” end of the tubing assembly and attach to the pipe protruding out
of the bottom of the water feature (FT-290B).

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.
(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.
