ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure you are assembling your fountain on a wall and using a hanging method that will sufficiently hold
more than 100 pounds (component + pump + water weight).
2. Feed the pump cord through the hole in the basin leaving enough cord length inside basin to work with the
pump.
3. Wrap a piece of putty around the cord where you will be placing the stopper. (Fig A)
4. Fit cord into stopper.
5. Place a piece of putty inside the length of the slit in the stopper. (Fig B)
6. See enclosed stopper assembly instructions and complete before continuing.
7. Place a hose clamp over one end of the 1/2” non kink tubing
8. Insert that end of the 1/2” non kink tubing onto the pump water outlet and tighten the clamp.
a. Note – one of the hose clamps may be placed on the tubing prior to installation as a flow restrictor if
necessary
9. Place a hose clamp on the other end of the 1/2” non kink tubing.
10. Place that end of the tubing over the copper pipe protruding from the water feature.
11. 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
