a. 3/8" or larger nylon rope to
anchor/moor fountain unit
b. Stakes or weights to anchor/moor
unit
d. Flat screwdriver
e. 5/16" Nut driver
f. Crimping tool (for cable splicing
only)

splice kit(for cable splicing only)
h. Multimeter to check voltage,
current and insulation resistance to
ground
i. Post(s) to mount control center
j. Bolts to attach control center to
post(s)
2. Prepare unit for installation in pond
a. The unit ships with the Water
Lilly nozzle installed. Refer to
Figures 1, 2 and 3 for spray pattern
appearance. To change to one of
the other 2 nozzles, remove the
4 screws with a 5/16” nut driver
or flat screwdriver and replace
with desired nozzle. Nozzles are
marked “This side up”. Make sure
o-ring is seated in groove before
installing nozzle. Tighten screws
until seated, approximately 10 to
12 in-lbs.
b. If installing the optional “Night
Bright” lighting system, follow
instructions included with light
system for proper installation.
c. Determine length and proper
size of cable per Wire Size Table
1. Splice additional cable up to
250 feet total cable length using
included heat shrink splice kit.
DO NOT EXCEED maximum cable
length or use smaller cable than
specified as system damage may
occur.
Never enter the water either
wading, swimming or in a
boat with the pump power on, as this
may result in severe electrical shock.
1. Only install this system in ponds
where no swimming, wading,
boating or fishing is allowed while
system is operating. Disconnect
power to pump before fishing or
entering the water.
2. Post appropriate warning signs per
local and state codes.
3. Install fountain in pond. (See Fig 4
for typical installation).
a. Prior to installation, measure
water depth. All fountains require
5 ft minimum water depth for
proper operation.
b. Position anchor weights or
mooring stakes 180° apart and
equidistant from desired fountain
location. Attach nylon anchor/
mooring ropes to weights or stakes
then attach to 2 eyebolts located
at top of fountain screen. Make
sure to leave only enough slack in
rope to accommodate anticipated
water level fluctuations.
