Blue Thumb ABRCFM Installation Manual

TRIPLE COLUMN FOUNTAIN
ABRCFM - INSTALLATION GUIDE

Before you start:

Make sure all parts are included before starting. The following items should be included:
1 black molded basin
3 individual column rocks
1 valve assembly consisting of a 3 way valve and a PVC pipe for the pump
3 sections of black kink-free hose
1 basin pump access cover
1 fountain pump
Layout & mark appropriate basin area:
Locate your fountain near your preferred viewing area where both water and electricity
services are accessible. Clear the area and prepare to excavate by tracing the Fountain
Basin using marking paint. Be certain to avoid underground utilities.
Prep & Excavate area to required size and depth:
Using a shovel dig 90 degrees into the ground, slightly wider and just as deep
as the Fountain Basin making sure to remove any sharp rocks or roots. Align
the Fountain Basin with the pump access door as needed to keep the pump
accessible. Note: If installing a splash apron, make sure the basin is about 1.5
inches below grade, allowing you to slope the surrounding terrain toward the
basin.

Ensure basin fits and is level:

Using a 2 - 4 ft. level place the basin within the excavated hole ensuring the
Fountain Basin remains level side to side.

Back fill around basin leaving room for AutoFill and cord:

Once the Fountain Basin is level carefully back fill using excavated soil. If an
Elite AutoFill is being incorporated you may bury your water supply line and
make any AutoFill connections at this time. Leave a small trench to bury the
pump cord 1-2 inches below grade.
