side of the pump with the hose clamp. Place pump in pump house in center of shell and run the plug end of the electrical
cord down the PVC pipe located in the pump house and down into the pedestal. Retrieve cord from under pedestal and
place in groove in the bottom of pedestal. 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 position of the rubber stopper on the power cord if necessary.
3. Position the largest shell on pedestal and level. To level shell, place level on top rim of the pump house in the center
of shell. Level in (2) Two directions left to right and front to back. Shim as needed.
4. Find the second shell and run the 1/2" clear tubing up thru the PVC insert in the center housing of the shell. Position
this shell on top of the large shell and level. To level shell, place level on center housing in center of shell. Level as
stated in step #3.
Cut 1/2" clear tubing 1" below the top surface of the center housing of second shell. Find 1/2" plastic tee and attach an
end connection of the tee to the end of the 1/2" clear tubing located in the center housing of the second shell. Make sure
the pump is seated on the bottom of the pump house.
5. Attach the remainder of the 1/2" clear tubing to the middle connection of the 1/2" plastic tee and lay the tubing on top of
the wall of the center housing of the second shell. Cut the 1/2" clear tubing about 1" past the outside wall. Find 1/2"
plastic ell and attach it to the 1/2" clear tubing just outside the wall pointing down.
Find the remainder of 1/2" clear tubing and attach it to the end connection of the 1/2" plastic tee located in the center
housing of the second shell.

groove in the bottom of the shell and position the groove over top on the 1/2” clear tubing. Position this shell on top of the
previous shell and level. To level shell, place level on center housing in center of shell. Level as stated in step #3.
7. Find the finial. In the center of the finial you will see a PVC pipe. Place the finial on the center housing of the third
shell along side of the 1/2” clear tubing. Cut the 1/2" clear tubing one inch shorter than the height of the finial. Insert
the 1/2” clear tubing into the PVC pipe in the bottom on the finial and slide the finial down onto the center housing of the
third shell. Find the two drain plugs and insert them snugly into the drain insert located in the two larger shells.
8. Fill shells with 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. Cut the 1/2” clear tubing another 1/2” shorter. This will regulate the
water flow from the finial until the desired result is achieved.
