Fountain Care Guide

Any modications or failure to follow the recommended care will void the product warranty.
Set-Up
1. Power Source: Consider proximity to the power source (electrical outlet, solar panel placement).
2. Vegetation: Be mindful of the trees and plants in the area as they might drop leaves or debris. Installation of
fountains in areas with heavy vegetation will require the pump and fountain to be cleaned more often.
3. Children and Pets: Avoid locations where children and pets play, consider setting up decorative fencing to help
deter children and pets from playing or drinking in the fountain.
Location
Adding an outdoor water fountain to your garden or landscape can bring it to life.

Installation
Installing a fountain can be dicult if you don’t know the proper steps; read the original manual/instrucons and these ps
before you begin.
1. Safety: Always keep safety in mind when installing your fountain. Electricity, power cords/cables, children, pets,
and the weight of the fountain lled with water, are all things to think about when setting up any water feature.
2. Create a Drip Loop: To prevent water loss or damage to electrical sockets, create a drip loop. Route the pump
and light cord(s) deep down inside the reservoir, then drape the cord over the edge where they exit the fountain.
You can also create a drip loop by ensuring the power cord(s) remain below the wall outlet.
3. Free-Standing Fountains: For the water to ow correctly, place your fountain on a level surface. Many tiered
fountains feature pieces that twist-and-lock together; make sure these pieces are evenly connected. Use shims
to level the fountain as necessary.
4. Wall Fountains: Consider weight! Make sure the hanging hardware and mounting surface can support the
weight of the fountain when it is full of water.
5. Solar Fountains: It is important to angle the solar panel towards the sun when sun is at its highest point.
Ensure the solar panel is not shaded by trees, shrubs or buildings.
