Set Up Instructions for Massarelli Gozo Four Tier Sphere Fountain

Open bag containing the pump kit P29013. In the kit you will find:

  • KING 400 (400 gallon per hour pump)
  • rubber stopper
  • 8” putty tape
  • 48" long piece of 3/4" clear tubing
  • tube of silicone 


1. Place the largest shell (48” diameter) on a firm and level surface where fountain will remain.

2. Find the pump, the rubber stopper and the 3/4" clear tubing 48" long.
Place the pump in the pump house located in the center of the largest 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 pump house. Adjust the
position of the rubber stopper on the power cord if necessary.
There is a drain plug inside the pedestal. Remove the drain plug and make sure the inside of the PVC insert is clean.
Reinsert the drain plug snugly into the PVC insert.
Attach the piece of 3/4" clear tubing 48" long onto the outlet side of the pump.

3. To level shell, place the level across the shell. Level in (2) Two directions left to right and front to back. Shim as
needed.

4. Find the second shell (40” diameter) and run the 3/4" clear tubing up thru the PVC insert in the center housing of the
shell. Position this shell centered on top of the pumphouse located in center of largest shell. Level as stated in step #3.

5. Push the 3/4” clear tubing back down until the pump is resting on the bottom on the pumphouse

6. Find the third shell (24” diameter) and run the 3/4" clear tubing up thru the PVC insert in the center housing of the shell.
Position this shell centered on top of the second shell and level. Level as stated in step #3.

7. Find the fourth shell (14” diameter) and run the 3/4" clear tubing up thru the PVC insert in the center housing of the
shell. Position this shell centered on top of the third shell and level. Level as stated in step #3.

8. Before you trim the 3/4” clear tubing to length. Push the 3/4” clear tubing back down until the pump is resting on the
bottom on the pumphouse. Cut the length of the 3/4" clear tubing to 4” above the center surface of the fourth shell.

9. Find the finial. Slip the finial onto the 3/4" clear tubing located in the center of the fourth shell. Position the finial on the
fountain.

10. Fill shells with tap water and plug pump into a 110VAC GFCI protected outlet. To adjust the water flow to the finial,
unplug the pump and remove the finial from the fountain. Trim the 3/4" clear tubing another 1/2" shorter and reposition
the finial on the fountain. If necessary repeat by cutting the 3/4" clear tubing another 1/2" shorter. This will regulate water
flow from the finial until the desired result is achieved. Keep the pieces of the 3/4” clear tubing that you have cut. If you
happen to cut the 3/4” clear tubing too short you can insert the cut piece back in the finial. Insert the cut piece of 3/4”
clear tubing into the PVC pipe located in the center of the finial and push the piece down into the PVC pipe as far as it will
go.
