ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Two people are recommended for the installation of this fountain!
1. Make sure you are assembling your fountain on a level surface.
2. Be sure to check the leveling of the fountain after each component installation.
3. Stand up the water feature (FT-125A) placing it into position where the fountain will be installed.
a. NOTE - If placing against a wall leave enough space to pass your hand behind it. The fountain can be
moved back after pump installation is completed and the cord has been run behind the fountain.
4. Place the bottom rectangle (FT-125D) against the water feature, centered underneath the hole as illustrated.
5. Install the pump into the basin (FT-125B) prior to installing the basin on the bottom support
6. Feed the pump cord through the hole in the basin leaving enough cord length inside basin to work with the
pump.
7. See enclosed stopper assembly instructions and complete before continuing.
8. Insert the ½” non kink tubing into the 5/8” clear tubing.
9. Place the clear tubing on pump and tighten with clamp.
a. NOTE -If you wish to use a hose clamp as a flow restrictor, you must install it on the tubing at this
point.
10. Attach the other end of black tubing to copper pipe sticking out from inside the basin. Tighten with a clamp.
11. Place basin (FT-125B) on the floor, close to the water feature (FT-125A) with knobs facing the water feature
and pass pump plug cord through the hole in the water feature from front to back. The knobs are used as a
brace to prevent the basin from tipping forward.
12. Pick plug from behind water feature and place to whichever side your electric source may be.
13. Attach the other end of black tubing to copper pipe sticking out from inside the basin. Tighten with a clamp.
14. Apply some silicone around the outside of the copper pipe sticking down from the top of the rectangular hole
on the water feature.
15. Take the second piece of ½” non kink tubing and attach to the siliconed copper pipe inside the hole on the
water feature. Tighten with a clamp.
16. Push water feature (FT-125A) and base (FT-125D) close to wall if desired.
17. Rest the basin (FT-125B) on top of base and apply some silicone to the outside of the copper pipe sticking out
of the back of the basin.
18. Connect tubing from water feature to copper pipe behind the basin and tighten with a clamp.
19. Push basin into position in the hole.
a. NOTE – the knobs should insert into the hole.
b. NOTE – The basin will only go up to a ¼” inside water feature hole.
20. Check sides of basin so that gaps on both sides against water feature are even.
21. Place pump cover (FT-125C) in place over the pump and the cord
22. Fill basin with water.
a. Note – do not allow pump to run dry as it will cause damage to 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 your Campania Fountain with a Campania Fountain 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
