When your fountain is delivered you will receive detailed instructions to set up the fountain. We receive many questions regarding fountain setup from customers who have not yet received their fountain so we thought it might be helpful to post a summary of steps to setup your fountain when it arrives.
Single Tier Fountain Setup.
1. Place the fountain on a solid or firm and level surface. Level in both directions - left to right and front to back. Shim as need to make fountain completely level. Place the shell or bowl on top of the pedestal.
2. Attach the clear tubing to the pump with the clamp provided. Place the pump inside of the pumphouse and place the electrical cord in the grove provided in the back of the shell or bowl.
3. Position the shell or bowl on the pedestal and level from front to back and left to right. Shim as needed.
4. If the pump kit includes a restrictor clamp then attach to the clear tubing. Most pumps include a dial flow control. The pump that you receive is designed to work with the fountain that you purchase.
5. Remove any excess tape or concrete around the copper tubing in the statue or fountain finial.
6. Cut the clear tubing to the correct length. Tubing that is too long will cause it to kink and not restrict the flow of water. Tubing that is too short may hold the pump above the water and limit the volume of water that the pump can access.
7. Attach the clear tubing to the fountain top and place the top on the fountain.
8. Fill shell with water and plug the pump into a 110 VAC GFCI protected outlet.
9. If the fountain needs adjustment unplug the pump and adjust the flow dial control or the restrictor clamp until the desired result is achieved.Multi tier fountain setup is basically the same process as the single tier however you have more tiers to stack on top of the other. Fountains with round bowls will have rubber stoppers in the bottom of the bowl for easy draining.
