    Place the pump in the pumphouse located in the center of the shell and run the plug end of the electrical cord down the
    PVC pipe in the pump house and down through the pedestal. Retrieve cord from under pedestal and place in groove in
    the bottom of the pedestal. Leave enough slack in the power cord so the pump will rest on the bottom of the pumphouse.
    Slip the rubber stopper onto the power cord with the smaller end facing away from the pump. Insert the rubber stopper
    snugly into the PVC pipe. Make sure the pump is seated on the bottom of the pumphouse. Adjust the position of the
    rubber stopper on the power cord if necessary.

    located in center of largest shell. Level as stated in step #3.

    bottom on the pumphouse. Cut the length of the 3/4" clear tubing to 11” above the center surface of the second shell.

    7. Find the finial. Slip the finial onto the 3/4" clear tubing located in the center of the second shell. Position the finial on
