Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Your Outdoor Fountain

Installing an outdoor fountain can transform any garden, patio, or backyard into a tranquil oasis. With the relaxing sound of flowing water, fountains add aesthetic appeal and a peaceful ambiance to your outdoor space. For those looking to undertake this rewarding project, we have created a detailed step-by-step guide to help you successfully install your outdoor fountain.

Step 1: Choose the Right Fountain

Before you start, selecting a fountain that fits the style and size of your outdoor area is crucial. Consider options like the Rustic Mod Twist Fountain With Ball for a modern yet rustic look, or the elegant Equinox Sphere Fountain with Square Bowl that combines geometry and simplicity. Both are excellent choices to enhance your space with a unique water feature.

Step 2: Prepare the Area

Begin by selecting a suitable location for your fountain that offers a stable and flat surface. Ensure the spot has easy access to an electrical outlet if your fountain is powered by a pump. Clear the area of any debris, rocks, or grass, and consider placing a waterproof liner or concrete slab to provide a stable base.

Step 3: Assemble the Fountain

Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully for assembly:

• Rustic Mod Twist Fountain With Ball: Begin by aligning the water pump at the base and threading the cord through the provided hole.
• Equinox Sphere Fountain with Square Bowl: Ensure that the sphere is correctly positioned on the square bowl, and connect the internal tubing from the pump to the top.

Check for missing parts before starting and keep all instructions at hand.

Step 4: Install the Pump

Insert the pump into the fountain's base, ensuring it is submerged in water when filled. Connect pipes or hoses as directed. Before final placement, test the pump to confirm proper operation and adjust the water flow rate as necessary.

Step 5: Add Water and Test

Fill the fountain with water, ensuring the pump is fully submerged. Plug it into an electrical outlet and switch it on to test the flow and make necessary adjustments for even water distribution.

Step 6: Final Placement and Maintenance

Once the fountain operates as desired, make any final adjustments to the placement. Regular maintenance includes checking the water level, cleaning the pump, and removing any debris to ensure longevity.
