standard garden hose to the Top Fountain Fitting.

2) The other end of the adapter can now be screwed
on to the hose from the other barrel, or directly to
the bottom of the 2nd barrel.
The submersible pump and components included in this kit
allow for pressurized watering of your garden from single
or linked rain barrels.
1) Locate and screw the pump fitting into the top of the
pump. (Alternate barbed fittings may be included in the
box should you ever wish to use this system with a
different diameter hose.)
2) Connect the female end of any standard garden hose
to the pump fitting. (The hose included with this rain
barrel may also be used.)
3) Remove the gray screen from the top of the rain barrel
and put it aside.
4) Carefully lower the pump onto the bottom of the rain
barrel through the screen opening, keeping the pump cord
and garden hose as straight as possible.
5) To create a decorative fountain, connect the Top and
Bottom Fountain Fittings to either side of the hole in the
screen. Connect the Bottom Fountain Fitting to the Pump
Fitting with the hose included with this rain barrel. Finish
by decorating the screen with the polished river rocks
(included).
