Installation Begin by excavating a hole at least 6 inches larger than the basin and 121/2"deep.This depth will leave the Fountain Basin slightly higher than the ground around it,which will keep soil, mulch or gravel from washing in.Angling the sides of the hole outward slightly will aid in the backfill process. Caution:Do not dig too deep.The Fountain Basin should be set on undisturbed earth if possible.In case you over-dig,be sure to compact the soil thoroughly to prevent settling.The bottom of the hole should be level Figure side-to-side and front-to-back(Figure 1). Add enough water to the Fountain Basin to keep it from shifting during the backfill pro- cess.Use loose soil from the excavation to fill the void around the perimeter of the basin, leaving the area outside the pump chamber open until all of the electrical and plumbing connections are made.Lightly compact the soil around the basin as you backfill(Figure 2).Caution:Over compacting can distort the side walls of the Fountain Basin. Plumbing Note:Auto Fill Kit AF1000 can be added to Figure 2 any Fountain Basin to keep the basin filled with water automatically.It is easiest to install AF1000 before plumbing the pump.Using a'/8"bit,drill a hole about 1"below the top of the flat wall on the left side of the pump chamber(Figure 3).Connect the Autofill to your choice of water source using either the V Garden Hose Adapter,%2"rigid PVC slip fit- " ^' ting or%2"flexible tubing adapter(all included in AF1000 Auto Fill Kit).See Kit Instructions for details. Atlantic Pro-Series Fountain Basins have been designed to work in conjunction with Atlantic FBKITI/FBKIT3 and TidalWave Figure 3 TT-Series and MD-Series pumps to simplify installation.FBKITI contains single valve,V _ fittings and tubing needed to connect one :1. fountain piece.FBKIT3 contains 1%2"pump +� discharge fittings,Triton 3-way manifold,V ti fittings and tubing needed to connect up to three fountain pieces. Determine the layout of the fountain pieces, - 1 and the length of the V tubing.The tubing runs on top of the Fountain Basin within the plumbing channels(Figure 4). 2 Note:The top deck of Atlantic Pro-Series Figure 4 Fountain basins are supported by 3 (FB3200)or 7(FB4600)support cones. When installing large,heavy fountain pieces,it is recommended to distribute the 5, weight evenly over multiple cones to reduce point loads. Astandpipe setjust below the level of the water overflowing a decorative pot or vase 1 will create an attractive bubbling effect. Set the decorative piece over the fitting, then attach a piece of 3/4"Sch40 PVC to theti .��s fitting.Cut the standpipe to just below the water surface.Seal any gaps between the standpipe and the hole in the base of the Figure 5 piece with Atlantic SPSEAL Standpipe Seal- ant.To center and stabilize the standpipe, place a few rocks around the pipe to sta- bilize it(Figure 5).Fill the Basin with water, connect the pump to a GFI-protected outlet and adjust flow as desired. Decorations y To complete the installation,cover the Fountain Basin with gravel,polished stones, 3 �+ glass beads or other decorative material. To disguise the outline of the Basin further, 7 extend the material past the edge of the a J Basin.To enhance nighttime enjoyment of Figure 6 the fountain,complement your Fountain Basin with Atlantic's LED lighting. Installation of Fountain Basin in a Paver Patio or Walkway The FB4600 and FB3200 Fountain Basin can be installed within a paver patio or walkway.Recessed pockets allow1Yz" conduit sleeves to be installed within the radius of the basin.These sleeves allow access to the pump cords and low voltage wiring when surrounding the basin with hardscape materials.When setting the Fountain Basin within a paver patio,the top rim of the basin should be set at least 1"lower than the top of the pavers.This will help retain the decorative material after it is installed(Figure 6).
