Parts to your new Bernini™ Fountain:
Step 1: Battery Installation
You will need:
Inserting Batteries Into The Battery Compartment
Installing Batteries:
- (If Battery Compartment & Water Pump are installed in the Fountain Tower) Lift the battery compartment out of the Fountain Tower (Figure 1a). Disconnect the Water Tube from the Battery Compartment (Figure 3a).
- Unscrew (counterclockwise) the Battery Compartment Screws. The screws DO NOT come out of the battery compartment. When the screw continues to spin or you hear a click, the screw is unscrewed completely (Figure 1b & 1c). Note: Cover fits tightly and may take some strength to pull apart.
- The fountain requires 4 D batteries (Not Included), insert x2 D Batteries with the negative (-) side facing down in Battery Compartment (Figure 2a). The negative side of the battery will be resting on the raised coil/spring. Then insert the other 2x D Batteries with the positive (+) side facing down in the Battery Compartment. (Figure 2a).
- Reinstall the Fountain Top by aligning the locating dowel in the Battery Compartment and Fountain Top. Set the Battery Cover down onto the Battery Compartment ensuring the dowel sets into the alignment hole. Apply pressure and tighten the Battery Cover Screws by turning clockwise.
NOTE: Pressure must be applied to the Battery Compartment while tightening the screws to assure the compartment is properly sealed. If needed, while holding the battery compartment, place it upside down on an even surface to tighten screws (Figure 2a, 2b & 2c).
Assembly Of Battery Compartment Housing & Cover:
- Place Battery Cover on Battery Compartment Housing. Turn over assembled Battery unit and place it on a flat, level surface. Using a Phillips screwdriver (not included), first tighten the left screw down firmly.
- After tightening the left screw, you will notice a small gap between the Battery Cover and the Battery Compartment Housing.
- Using a Phillips screwdriver (not included), tighten the right screw down firmly.
- After both screws have been tightened, you may notice a small gap between the Battery Cover and the Battery Compartment Housing.
- Press down firmly on the bottom of the Battery Compartment Housing to help tighten the gap.
- Using a Phillips screwdriver re-tighten the screws (left screw first, right screw second) to further tighten the gap between the Battery Cover and the Battery Compartment Housing.
Assembly Of Water Pump & Tube To Battery Compartment:
- Take the Battery Compartment and Water Pump, connect one side of the Water Tube to the Water Pump and the other end to the bottom side of the Battery Compartment (Figure 3a).
- Lower the Battery Compartment and Water Pump into the Tower Base. The battery Compartment and Water Pump should be flush with the top of the Tower Base (Figure 3b).
Changing Batteries:
- Remove any Dancing Water Attachments (Figure 5), and lift the Battery Compartment and Water Pump out of the Fountain (Figure 4a). Ensure Battery Compartment and Water Pump are completely dry before opening the Battery Compartment. It is important that no water enters the Battery Compartment.
- See Installing Batteries Section above on how to reinstall batteries and reassemble them.
- Set the Battery Compartment and Water Pump back into the Fountain (Figure 4d).
Step 2: Setting Up Your Fountain
Water To Fill Your Fountain You will need:
Fill Your Fountain
After you have picked the container you want your fountain in, fill the
container so that the water is about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) and/or covers
the pump. Next, After you have filled your fountain, to dislodge any air
bubbles from the pump, grab both sides of the large bowl and quickly shake
your fountain for ten seconds. Press the button once to turn your fountain on.
Water should be flowing from the top of your fountain. If water is not
flowing, press the button once more to turn your fountain off and repeat the
step above.
Operating Your Fountain
The fountain includes three buttons (A, B & C) and an indicator light (D).
-
The A Button turns the fountain on and off. When pressed, the fountain will run continuously for 6 hours or until the button is pressed again, at which point it will turn off.
-
The B Button allows you to set a daily repeat timer.
• Pressing the button once will turn the fountain on for one hour and then shut off. It will run again the following day at the same time for an hour and repeat that process daily. The light will flash once to indicate that a one- hour daily repeat timer has been set (the selection will be repeated three times).
• Pressing the button twice will turn the fountain on for two hours and then shut off. It will run again the following day at the same time for two hours and repeat that process daily. The light will flash twice to indicate that a two-hour daily repeat timer has been set (the selection will be repeated three times).
• Pressing the button three times will turn the fountain on for three hours and then shut off. It will run again the following day at the same time for three hours and repeat that process daily. The light will flash three times to indicate that a three-hour daily repeat timer has been set (the selection will be repeated three times).
• Pressing the button four times will turn the fountain on for four hours and then shut off. It will run again the following day at the same time for four hours and repeat that process daily. The light will flash four times to indicate that a four-hour daily repeat timer has been set (the selection will be repeated three times).
• Pressing the A button at any time will turn the fountain off. -
The C Button turns the lights on and off.
• Pressing the C button while the fountain running, lights will stay on for however long the fountain is running, whether the fountain is running manually (A button) or in programmed mode (B Button). Add to the end of the paragraph. Light will not turn on unless the fountain is running.
The Light Dome
LIGHT DOME: (OPTIONAL) : The fountain can be operated with or without
the light dome. The Light Dome was designed to change the ambiance lighting of
the fountain depending on the desired mood. (Figure 2a, 2b). You can install
the light dome if the fountain is running or not.
Dancing Water Attachments
DANCING WATER ATTACHMENTS: (OPTIONAL): You can put any of the Dancing
Water Attachments on the Fountain whether the Fountain is running or is not
running. Select one of the Dancing Water Attachments and place it on the
outlet in the middle of the Battery Compartment (Figure 3a, 3b & 3c).
NOTE: Please be aware that there is overspray that occurs while using the
Dancing Water Attachments, we recommend you use a larger container for your
fountain while using the attachments.
Flipping The Self-Contained Fountain Tower
Simply remove the Battery Compartment, Water Tube & Water Pump Assembly flip
the SelfContained Fountain Tower and set the Battery Compartment, Water Tube &
Water Pump Assembly back into the Self-Contained Fountain Tower, and now you
have a new look for your fountain; one Fountain two unique looks.
You can now try your Bernini™ Fountain to see if everything is working
correctly! Turn your fountain on and you should see water flowing from the
outlet on the top of the Fountain Tower. If water is not flowing, please
refer to the “Priming The Water Pump” section.
The following section covers any Troubleshooting and Maintenance issues as
needed.
Step 3: 3-in-1 Infinity Bowl/ Bird Feeder/ Planter Bowl
You will need:
Infinity Bowl
To install the Bowl as an Infinity Pool, take the Bowl and the Cap, and screw
the Cap into the inside of the bowl turning clockwise (Figures 1, 2 & 3). Do
not overtighten. Place infinity Bowl on the fountain spout just as you would
place one of the Dancing Waters Attachments. Push the button to enjoy your
fountain.
How the Self-Watering System Works
Your self-watering garden fountain waters from the bottom up. Do not worry if
you do not see the topsoil becoming wet after the first day or two of use. The
bottom layer of the soil will be watered every time you run the fountain.
After approximately 3 days, the soil will reach its maximum water level. The
water will steadily climb to just below the surface of the soil, while your
fountain is on, the water level rises, watering your plant from bottom to top.
(Figure 5).
When your fountain is off, the roots of your plant will be aerated to produce
strong healthy roots. When the fountain is on, the water level will rise above
the surface of the top planter bowl, saturating the soil (Figure 6).
Planter
To install the Bowl as a Planter, take the Bowl and 3 Prong Foot, and line up
the arrows (Figure 11, Page 11, white circle) on the 3 Prong Foot to the
“Planter” position located on the bottom of the bowl (Figure 8). Align the
arrows and push firmly to lock them in place. There are 2 small holes on the
bottom of the planter that will allow water to be absorbed from the bottom of
the bowl when the fountain is running (Figures 4, 5 & 6). Place the Bowl and
Foot on top of the fountain. Be sure not to cover the button or light on top
of the fountain. Push on 3 Prong Foot to secure. Once the Planter is in place
use your favorite soil (do not overpack) and plant your new addition to your
family. Push the button to enjoy your fountain.
Bird Feeder
To install the bird feeder, take the Infinity bowl and 3 prong foot, and line
up the arrows (Figure 11 white circle) on the 3 prong foot to the bird feeder
position located on the bottom of the bowel (Figure 9 & 10). Align the arrows
and push firmly to lock in 3 prong foot. Place the bowl and foot on top of the
fountain. Be sure not to cover the button or light on top of the fountain.
Fill a bowl with bird food, avoid over-filling to prevent birdseed from going
into your fountain. Push the button to enjoy your fountain.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Fountain
In order to keep your Fountain in tip-top shape and for prolonged life, it is
best if your Fountain and the bowl or water container that the Fountain is
placed in are cleaned periodically. To clean your fountain, drain all water
and disassemble. Use a mild soap and a soft cloth to clean the parts of your
Fountain. DO NOT SCRUB YOUR FOUNTAIN, AS THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
FINISH OF YOUR BERNINI™ FOUNTAIN.
Cold Storage
Turn the power off, remove it from the container, and clean and dry the
Fountain of all water. Remove the batteries for long-term storage and bring it
indoors. (Now is a great time to clean the pump to remove any debris that may
have accumulated throughout the year).
Cleaning the Water Pump’s Parts
After about six weeks of usage, you may want to clean the water pump’s
impeller to keep your Bernini™ Fountain in tip-top shape. You will need to
drain your fountain of all water prior to cleaning the water pumps’ parts.
Water Pump Impeller
The impeller inside of the water pump is what pushes water up through your
fountain, allowing you to enjoy the soothing sounds and wonderful sights of
your Bernini™ Fountain. After long periods of usage, this part will need to
be cleaned to make sure your fountain runs optimally.
Begin by disconnecting the ump from the water tube. Step 1: Remove the front
of the water pump by grabbing the sides of the front panel and pull it is off
the unit.| Step 2: Remove the
impeller chamber cover. This is tightly fitted onto the impeller chamber but
will come off.| Step 3: Remove the impeller from its chamber.| Step 4: Rinse
the impeller until all debris has been removed. Then replace the impeller in
the impeller chamber put the mpeller chamber back on and then replace the
pump’s front panel.
Priming The Water Pump
If you find the Water Pump is running, but water is not flowing from your
Fountain, you can try priming the Water Pump:
Turn off Fountain, grab both sides of the Fountain and quickly shake your
Fountain for ten seconds.
This is to dislodge any air bubbles that may be caught in your Water Pump.
Press the button to turn your Fountain on.
Water should be flowing from the top of your Fountain. If water is not
flowing, press and hold the button for over 2 seconds again to turn your
Fountain off, and repeat the step above.
Water Pump Connection
If your fountain’s water pump becomes disconnected use these instructions to
reconnect your water pump.
Before beginning, remove the Battery assembly from Tower
Topper. Step 1: Lift the Battery
Assembly out of the Tower Base to access pump and tube.| Step 1 : Rest
the Battery and Pump Assembly on its side. Check the connection at the top of
the water tube at the Battery Housing. Re-connect if needed.| Step 2 :
Check the connection at the bottom of the water tube at the Water Pump. Re-
connect if needed.| Step 3 : Reassemble the Battery and Pump Assembly in
reverse of removal or refer
to the inst ructions in the Battery and Pump Assembly section of this manual.
