EasyPro DKit_FB58 58 Inch Fountain Installation Reservoir
Eco-Series Basins have molded columns that transfer the weight of the statuary
down to the ground below it.
These columns can be filled with concrete creating pillars under heavy
statuary.
Thank you for purchasing an EasyPro Eco-Series Fountain Basin. Following are a few simple instructions to help you during the installation process.
INSTALLATION
STEP ONE – LOCATION
Select your location and mark the outline of the basin, avoid low spots. You
will want to position the basin an inch or two higher than the surrounding
ground to prevent run off from entering the basin.
STEP TWO – EXCAVATION AND PLACEMENT
Always check for buried utilities before digging.
Excavate approximately 8 – 10 inches. Put a thin layer of sand down as a base,
especially if the soil is rough. Place basin in excavated hole, making sure it
is level in all directions. Backfill all sides with sand or fine soil and fill
in all voids.
The center supports of these basins should be filled with concrete to provide
additional support and help transfer the weight of the stone fountain through
the basin to the ground underneath. A basin that is in- stalled on well-
compacted soil, backfilled tightly around the edges and concrete-filled
supports will perform the best over the life of the water feature. For
fountains over 2000 Ibs, we recommend pouring a concrete slab to support the
reservoir kit and prevent settling.
STEP THREE – SETTING UP WATER FEATURE
- Carefully set feature in center of grating*. Align hole in feature with hole-in grate. It may be necessary to cut a larger hole in the grating to accommodate bigger tubing.
- Feed tubing through hole in feature, through grating and towards one of the pump bays. Leave extra tubing for easy pump maintenance.
- Connect tubing to pump and place in bay. We suggest using 250 – 700 GPH EasyPro mag drive pumps because they are durable and energy efficient.
- Place lid over pump compartment. Spread decorative gravel or river rock on grating, just enough to cover grating is all that is required. You can easily remove the pump anytime by clearing the gravel or river rock off lid. Fill basin with water and plug pump into a GFI protected outlet with weather cover.
- Aquatic plants can be set in unused bays, remove lid and set pot in bay. Spread gravel or river rock around the pot to conceal it. Smaller aquatic grasses, reeds and marginals can be allowed to grow up through grating. Your fountain basin will give you a lifetime of pleasure and relaxation.
