Installation

Begin by excavating a hole with a diameter at least 6 inches wider than

the basin being installed, and to a depth of 12½”. This depth will leave

the Fountain Basin slightly higher than the ground around it, which will

keep soil, mulch or gravel from entering the basin. Angling the sides of

the hole outward slightly will aid in the backﬁll process.

Caution: Do not dig too deep. The Fountain Basin should be set on

undisturbed earth if possible. In the case that you over-dig, be sure to

compact the soil thoroughly to prevent settling. The bottom of the hole

should be level side-to-side and front-to-back (Figure 1).

Add water to prevent the Fountain Basin from shifting during the backﬁll

process. Use loose soil from the excavation to ﬁll the void around the pe-

rimeter of the basin. Leave the area around the pump chamber open until

all of the electrical and plumbing connections are made. Lightly compact

the soil around the basin as you backﬁll. (Figure 2.)

Caution: over compacting can distort or crush the edges of the

Fountain Basin.
