Classical Tiered Fountain Installation Guide
This guide is for concrete water features that are using a pond. If you are looking to purchase your first water feature, please check out our First Time Buyer's Guide.
The following guide is a general outline for installing the following fountains; Hampton Fountain, Anniversary Fountain, Milano Fountain, Two Tier Dove Fountain.
The general idea of assembling this fountain is that you will be building it from the bottom-up.
As you assemble the fountain and feed the hose through, silicone the pieces together to prevent unwanted leakages.
-
Ensure you're working on a flat-level base before setting up the fountain. We recommend a concrete slab for this. If the fountain is not level, your water will not flow evenly.
-
Place your pond on the flat-level base.
-
Place the pump housing in the center of the pond (it's the concrete part with an opening).
-
Put the pump with the hose connected inside the pond, and feed the hose through the top side of the pump housing.
-
Place the pedestal on the top of the pump housing, and feed the hose up.
-
Place the large bowl on top of the pedestal while feeding the hose up.
-
Repeat this process all the way up to the top tier.
-
If your hose is too long and sticks out from the top, either adjust where the pump is sitting, or cut the tip of the hose at a 30° angle.
-
Place the concrete surrounds on the outside of the pond (if provided).
-
Fill the pond with water, more than enough to submerge the pump.
-
Connect the pump to power, and turn it on
