Thank you for purchasing an EasyPro Eco-Series Fountain Basin. Following are a few simple instructions to help you during the installation process.

STEP ONE - LOCATION

Select your location and mark the outline of the basin, avoid low spots. You will want to position the basin an inch or two higher than the surrounding ground to prevent run off from entering the basin.

STEP TWO - EXCAVATION AND PLACEMENT

Always check for buried utilities before digging. Excavate approximately 8 - 10 inches. Put a thin layer of sand down as a base, especially if the soil is rough. Place basin in excavated hole, making sure it is level in all directions. Backfill all sides with sand or fine soil and fill in all voids.

STEP THREE - SETTING UP WATER FEATURE

1. Carefully set feature in center of grating*. Align hole in feature with hole in grate. It may be necessary to cut a larger hole in the grating to accommodate bigger tubing.

2. Feed tubing through hole in feature, through grating and towards one of the pump bays. Leave extra tubing for easy pump maintenance.

3. Connect tubing to pump and place in bay. We suggest using 250 - 700 GPH EasyPro mag drive pumps because they are durable and energy efficient.

STEP FOUR - USING DECORATIVE GRAVEL

4. Place lid over pump compartment. Spread decorative gravel or river rock on grating, just enough to cover grating is all that is required. You can easily remove the pump anytime by clearing the gravel or river rock off lid. Fill basin with water and plug pump into a GFI protected outlet with weather cover.

STEP FIVE - PLANTING AQUATIC PLANTS

5. Aquatic plants can be set in unused bays, remove lid and set pot in bay. Spread gravel or river rock around the pot to conceal it. Smaller aquatic grasses, reeds and marginals can be allowed to grow up through grating. Your fountain basin will give you a lifetime of pleasure and relaxation.
