Assembly Instructions

1. Begin by placing the fountain housing on a solid surface, with the pump discharge opening facing up.
2. Tie nylon rope (not included) to the two stainless steel eye bolts. These will be the anchoring lines for the fountain.
3. Next, put the float in place and secure with the two 5/16″ x 2″ bolts, washers and nuts included.
4. Now, turn the fountain upside down, remove the styrofoam doughnut, and place the stainless steel filter in place.
   Be sure to line up the pre-drilled holes on the fountain with the position marks on the filter. Attach the filter with the
   three self-tapping screws provided.
5. At this point, the fountain is ready to be placed in the water for final preparation and anchoring. Care should be used
   when handling the fountain, it is very important that the weight of the fountain not be placed upon the stainless
   steel filter.
6. Once your fountain is in the water, attach the fountain head by screwing it into place.
7. Float the fountain to the desired position and secure the attached nylon ropes to shore, or use 2 concrete blocks
   submerged at least 20 feet apart.
8. The final step is to supply electric power to your fountain, taking extra care to always use a ground fault circuit
   interrupter and a licensed electrical contractor.

Maintaining your Pond Fountain

Most of our products require very little to any maintenance. Under normal operating conditions, you should enjoy many years of trouble free service from the unit.

Anchoring ropes, depending on type, will deteriorate over time. These should be replaced every five years if quality nylon rope (3/8” or thicker) is utilized. When the unit is removed from the water to replace anchoring ropes, it would be a good opportunity to wash the fountain down with high pressure water. After cleaning, a visual inspection of the entire fountain is recommended to be certain nothing is restricting water flow. The Scott Aerator Company has engineered all of its water features to eliminate the need for time consuming and costly winterizing products and procedures. Removing the Fountain from the water each winter will dry out and potentially damage the pump seals. Simply leave your fountain in the water, turn the power supply off, and forget about it for the winter. Once the water thaws in the spring, re-establish power to the unit and you’re good to go. All of the components will withstand sub-zero conditions without damage.

To find the cost to run one item:

1. Total up the watts per day for the item to get total watts/day.
2. Divide total watts/day by 1000 to get the total kilowatt hours (kWh)/day.
3. Multiply the kWh/day times the cost/ Kwh to get the average cost/day.
4. To find out the average cost per month, multiply the cost/day by 30. (Power company monthly billing cycles vary from 28-33 days)
