Galaxy Fountains
Congratulations on your new Galaxy Fountain!
Each one is made entirely by hand, and is a unique
work of art. There will be variations in each one
of them. That is part of their charm. With a
minimum of care, it should provide you with years
and years of enjoyment. Please read this packet
before you install the piece.
Tools you Will Need
Pencil, Level, Screwdriver, Hammer, Pliers
Mounting Hardware:
D-Ring Hangers + Anchors and screws
Hanging the reservoir (copper
basin)
Smaller fountains hang from a total of four
anchored screws, (two in the reservoir, two at the
top of the artwork). When you install them, hold
the basin in the approximate position where you
will want the basin to hang, and mark where the
holes will be drilled. Use a level to make sure that
the basin is hanging straight. If you have a larger
basin, additional instructions will come after this
section.
Next, make a small hole in the drywall at each
spot that you marked with the drill or a
screwdriver. The hole should be just small enough
that the blue plastic anchors fit tightly. If you have
to tap them in a little, you are doing it just right.
Next line up the basin with the holes and tighten
the screws.
For larger basins, we include 6" by 6" brackets to
give additional strength to the piece. These will
screw in behind the basin, so that the bottom of
the basin sits on the bracket.
:
As a rule of thumb, for a 4' basin, hang each
bracket 12" in from the sides. On a 5 or 6' basin,
start each bracket 18" in from each side.
Mounting the Artwork
If you examine the back of the fountain (the piece
with the art on it), then you will see either a folded
ridge or a length of wood at the top with a gap
underneath it. This is what the brackets that are
included are going to hang from.
Get a second pair of hands to help you with this
step. Gently lower the artwork in to the basin. The
art work fits an inch or two inside the basin.(This
allows a range of between 47" and 49" for the
total height of the fountain. Do not rest or hang
the artwork so that it touches the bottom of the
basin. With one person stabilizing the piece, have
the other person make a light pencil mark at the
top of the fountain to determine where the hooks
will hang.
With the line marked, set the fountain aside for the
moment. Again, taking a level, make sure that the
line is level. Then mark a spot 1 inch lower than
the top line. Depending on the size of the fountain,
we will send you a different number of brackets.
For a standard fountain, two brackets is standard.
As you did with the basin, make a small hole in
the wall, and tap in the plastic anchor. With a
standard basin, each hook should be placed
roughly 3 to 4" in from each side. On larger
fountains, you want to make sure that the hooks
are spaced out equally across the surface.
Now line up the brackets with each hole, and
screw in the brackets to the wall.
Once you are sure that the brackets are secure,
grab that second pair of hands and together lift the
artwork up against the wall and gently slide it
down until it rests on the brackets. At this point,
double check that both the art work and the basin
are hanging securely.

  • Page 2 Plumbing and Electrics The hard part is done now. You will see a tube hanging down from the art work with a black elbow attached to it. This screws onto the pump. Note: Larger fountains, those five feet in height or in width, use a different pump that does not use a black elbow.
  • Page 3 Trouble Shooting Some of you might have hard water. Over time you might get white deposits on the fountain. Turn it off and spray CLR on the fountain and gently wipe off with a soft pre-moistened towel. Splashing: If your fountain is splashing, you may have to re-adjust the volume of water with the white restrictor clamp.
