Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Atlantic’s Color Changing Fountains – overflowing
features that glow from within. During the day these fountains create the
welcome sights and sounds of dancing water, bubbling up and cascading down
their sides – but in the dark, they come alive with light. A totally new concept,
our fountains radiate in 48 different colors, or in 16 different pre-programmed
patterns with speed and intensity regulated by remote control.
Prior to Operation and Installation
Caution:
• DO NOT operate this product under any condition other than those for which it
is specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead to electrical shock,
product failure, or other problems.
• Follow all aspects of electrical codes when installing a Color Changing Fountain.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a 110 volt receptacle
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• The input power to the Color Changing Control Module is 12 volt AC. The
Control Module can be connected to a larger outdoor lighting transformer;
however this must be done between the Control Module and the transformer.
Removing the Control Module or tampering with the cord between the Control
Module and the Color Changing Fountain will damage the light ring and
void warranty.
• The Control Module is weather resistant with an IP54 rating. Do not submerse
the Control Module or expose it to heavy rainfall. It must be mounted off the
ground close to the power source. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
Installation
Fountain Installation
• Atlantic Color Changing Fountains have been designed to work in
conjunction with Atlantic Fountain Basins, Fountain Plumbing Kits and
Mag-Drive Series pumps. Please review the instructions included with these
products before you begin installation to ensure that all components of your
project are installed correctly.
• Begin installation by connecting the ¾” standpipe to the Spinweld® fitting on
the top of the fountain. Insert the threaded end of the standpipe into the
bottom of the fountain. Align the threads on the standpipe with the Spinweld®
fitting and tighten by turning in a clockwise direction.

• Slide the light ring over the standpipe so that the LEDs are facing upward into
the fountain. Install the ¾” insert x ¾” socket elbow on the bottom of the
standpipe. Do not use glue when making this connection so that the fountain
and light ring can be easily removed for cleaning or winterization.
Note: ¾” insert x ¾” socket elbow is included in all Fountain Plumbing Kits.
• Connect the feed line to standpipe and stand the fountain up in the desired
location on the fountain basin. Utilize the recessed plumbing channels to route
the tubing to the pump chamber. Once all plumbing is completed, cover the
Fountain Basin with decorative material (ex. decorative gravel, polished stones,
glass beads, etc.) of your choosing to complete installation.
Control Module Installation
• The Control Module is weather resistant with an IP54 rating. Do not submerse
it or expose it to heavy rainfall. It must be mounted off the ground close to the
power source. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
• Ensure that all cable connections are secure.
• Install the control box in a well-ventilated area to ensure that the module
operates in within its working temperature specified above.
• Verify that the control module input voltage is 12 volt AC. We recommend that
you use the transformer provided with this unit.
• Do not connect the power before the cord connections are finished.
• Do not cut or alter the cord between the SOL Light Ring and the Control Module.
• The remote control requires three (3) AAA batteries (not included).
