Installation - AquaScape Spillway Bowl Instructions Et Entretien

Installation

INSTALL PLUMBING
• The Spillway Bowl and Basin allows for either a ¾" or 11/2"
water inlet. The pre-installed bulkhead reducers provide a
¾" threaded connection at the
bottom of the fountain. If desired,
the reducers can be removed
to expose a 11/2" threaded inlet,
allowing for higher flow rates
with more dramatic water flow.
• If a ¾" inlet is desired, thread
the included multi-hose adapter
fitting (¾", 1", 11/4") into the
reducer inlet at bottom of
fountain (Ex. 1).
• If a 11/2" inlet is desired, remove
the reducer fittings from the
inside and bottom of the
fountain (Ex. 2). Then, thread
a compatible 11/2" fitting (not
included) into the bottom of the
fountain.
TIP - If desired, plumbers tape or silicone (not
included) can be used on fitting threads to help
provide a watertight connection.
INSTALL PIPE/TUBING
• Attach pipe/tubing (not included)
to the fitting installed at the
bottom of the fountain (Ex. 3). A
hose clamp (not included) can be
used to secure the connection.
• If installing the Spillway Bowl
Stand, use the integrated
plumbing slot on the stand to run
the pipe to the underside of the
Spillway Bowl (Ex. 4).
TIP: In some instances
the pipe/tubing may be
tight or difficult to connect
to the fitting. If this is the
case, it is recommended to heat
the pipe with a hair dryer or dip it
for a few seconds in very hot water.
Lubrication such as silicone grease
or olive oil can also be used.

INSTALL LIGHTING (OPTIONAL)
• The Spillway Bowl and Basin provide the option of installing
low-voltage underwater lighting. It is recommended to use
the Aquascape Garden and Pond 1-Watt LED Spotlight
(#84031) or Waterfall and Up Light (#84032).
• If installing a light, remove the
pre-installed light chase plug from
the bottom of the fountain (Ex. 5)
and locate the rubber light chase
insert packaged with the plumbing
components.
• Feed the low-voltage light cable
through the light hole from the
top of the fountain until the light
is set in the desired location.
• Insert the cable firmly into the
rubber light chase insert (Ex. 6).
Then, secure the rubber insert in
the light hole from the top (Ex. 7).
• Run the light cable from the
bottom of the Spillway Bowl
or Basin to a compatible low-
voltage transformer.
TIP - If desired, silicone
sealant (not included)
can be applied to help
provide a water-tight
seal.
CONNECT THE PUMP
• Connect the pipe/tubing to a
compatible pump (not included)
(Ex. 8). It is recommended to
use an Ultra 2000 Water Pump
or larger. A hose clamp (not
included) can be used to secure
the connection.
INSTALL STANDPIPE
Ex. 3
• The Spillway Bowl and Spillway
Basin each include a PVC
standpipe and tee fitting to
prevent the feature from draining
when the pump stops and
provide optimal water flow while
in use.
• Install the standpipe by threading it into the fitting at the
center of the fountain. The included standpipe is not
Ex. 4
compatible with the expanded 11/2" water inlet. If desired, a
11/2" diameter standpipe can be fabricated using commonly
available rigid PVC pipe.
