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)

g. Torch or heat gun for shrink tube

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.

c. Place power cord so that it rests

on bottom of pond away from sharp rocks or vegetation so it can be easily removed without being damaged or becoming entangled. Leave enough slack to accommodate anticipated water level fluctuations.

NOTE: It is suggested that the underwater power cables be installed in conduit from the panel to 4 -5 ft into the water to prevent possible cable damage.

4. Before connecting the unit to the control center, check to insure there is no leakage to ground. This can be done by using an ohm meter and setting the scale to its highest setting (i.e. Rx100K). Connect one ohmmeter lead to the unit power cord ground and to one of the power conductors. It should read infinite or at least 2 mega ohms. Repeat with the other conductor. If reading is below 2 mega ohms on either conductor contact Customer Service Help Line at 1-800-742-5044.

in damp areas. If possible, avoid all contact with electrical equipment during thunderstorms or extreme damp conditions.

WARNING SIGNS SHOULD BE

Water leaving nozzle is at high

Always use caution when operating electrical controls

System Control Center installation and electrical connection

1. All work must be done in compliance with local and national electrical codes by licensed, qualified electrician. Refer to Fig. 6 in these instructions or on inside of panel door for proper wiring.

2. Control Center mounting location. (See fig. 4 for typical installation)

a. Mount control center a minimum

of 3 feet above ground and a minimum of 3 feet above the high water level in a flood zone.

b. Mount control center a minimum

of 5 feet horizontally from shoreline during maximum flood condition. (Control center must not be accessible from water)

c. Always keep control center door

closed, bolted and locked when not servicing.

3. Have a licensed, qualified electrician make final connections of fountain and optional lights to system control center.

4. Have a licensed, qualified electrician install disconnecting means in compliance with local and national electrical codes.

5. Have a licensed, qualified electrician make connection to power source.

6. Apply power to unit and set timers as described in the Setting Timers section.

7. Test the ground fault interrupter for proper operation by depressing the “test” button. (See Fig. 6) The fountain should shut off. Press the “reset” button to restart the system. If pressing the “test” button does not stop the unit, immediately shut off power to unit and contact Customer Service Help Line at 1-800-742-5044.

FAILURE TO CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER SUPPLY MAY RESULT IN SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Setting timers

NOTE: Set the pump timer for all installations. Set the light timer when installing the optional NightBright lighting system. IMPORTANT: Rotate dial in clockwise

direction only! Rotating dial counter clockwise will damage timer!

1. Set the on-off time zones.

a) 6 trippers (3 red-on and 3 white-

off) stored below the dial, are included with each timer for setting up to 3 on-off time zones.

b) Install the red tripper at the desired

on time and the white tripper at the desired off time.

c) Rotate the dial clockwise to verify

operation of the trippers.

d) The timer may be overridden by

turning the small on/off dial in the upper right hand corner of the timer. Timer will automatically reset when next time zone occurs unless manual override was set within 1 hour of on or off cycle.

2. Setting the clock. (24 hr clock)

a) Turn the dial clockwise until the

arrowhead is aligned with the proper time.

b) The timers include built in battery

backup for maintaining time during power outages.

INSTALLATION CHECK LIST

 Read installation instructions and

warnings.

 Post appropriate warning signs.  Install desired spray nozzle.  Install and anchor unit in pond.  Connect control center to properly

grounded supply.

 Check insulation resistance to

ground.

 Power up unit.  Test operation of GFI by pressing the

“Test” Button. (See Fig 6).

 Set Timer.  File instructions for future reference.

DO NOT handle pump with

wet hands or when standing in water as fatal electrical shock could occur. Disconnect main power supply before handling system for any reason.

MAINTENANCE

1. Test the GFI monthly by depressing

the test button.

2. The screen and nozzle should be

cleaned as required to maintain proper water flow.

3. At least once a year, thoroughly

inspect the fountain, underwater cable and anchor/mooring lines for physical damage. Replace any damaged components.

WINTER STORAGE

1. Remove fountain from pond.

2. Check for damage.

3. Clean unit prior to storage.

4. In freezing climates, store in heated space to prevent damage to water lubricated motor.

The pump motor is

water lubricated and is factory filled with an antifreeze solution. During operation the antifreeze may exchange, thru the filtered check valve, with the pond water. In climates where freezing may occur, the unit must be stored in a heated storage space to prevent damage to the motor.
