Owner Manual

The long white feeder tube at the top of the
fountain is where all the “action” takes place.
There are a number of holes from which the water
flows, and this tube is pre-adjusted prior to
shipping.
Once you have the fountain installed and filled-up,
it's time to test it out. Plug it in, but if it's been
jarred in shipping, be prepared to unplug so you
can adjust.
The adjusting is simple: With the fountain
installed, loosen the screws that hold the feeder
tube at the top. Start the fountain and observe
which holes are splashing. Using a pliers, gently
rotate the feeder tube (usually downwards) until
the water stops splashing. The water should hit
the surface of the Lexan at a slight angle
downwards. Once you have it the way you like it,
re-tighten the screws.
Once the water is flowing, inspect it carefully.
Beneath the artwork is a white restrictor clamp on
the vinyl tube. This controls the rate of flow for
the water. In the wide open position, you will get
a fast, loud flow, but the trade off is the possibility
of an occasional splash. Clicked down, you will
get a slower, quieter flow. Most adjustments will
be made with only with this adjustment.
Checking the flow
We pretest each fountain before it leaves our
studio, but occasionally during shipping things can
jostle and need readjustment. If you see dripping
from the top of the fountain, this is quite easily
fixed. Remove the copper visor and you will see a
white tube where the water comes from. If the
water is dribbling over the top of the white tube,
gently grasp the tubing with pliers and twist the
tube downward until the dribbling stops. Once
you have the flow the way you want it, replace the
visor.
Trouble Shooting
Some of you might have hard water. Over time
you might get white deposits on the fountain. Turn
it off and spray CLR on the fountain and gently
wipe off with a soft pre-moistened towel.
Splashing: If your fountain is splashing, you may
have to re-adjust the volume of water with the
white restrictor clamp. Also the amount of water
in the reservoir plays a factor. Less water in the
reservoir gives greater sound…because the water
falls farther before it hits the surface of the water
in the reservoir. If necessary, the holes in the tube
can be cleared with a pipe cleaner.
Maintaining the copper parts: Each of these
fountains is made by hand, not by machine and
each one is meant to have an old world look. We
deliberately buff, distress, and dip each piece in
patina chemicals to give it this charm. The best
thing you can do for the copper is give it an
occasional wipe-down with Pledge or some Old
English Dark Walnut Furniture Oil.
