Wall fountains are not difficult to install however when installing anything it important to
make sure you understand the correct steps and methods before starting the project. As mentioned above you will receive extensive instructions
within the packaging of your wall fountain, but below are some general tips you should keep in mind.
- As a standard rule the installation of a wall fountain is a minimum 2 person task.
- It is important to screw the mounting bracket to the studs within the wall.
- For safety sake, it is advised to plug the fountain into a GFI electrical plug.
- For aesthetical reasons it is best to have the GFI electrical plug directly behind the wall mounted fountain. This way the cord is hidden
from view and makes the fountain look more natural and part of the existing wall.
- For convenience and practical reasons it is also advised to place an electrical wall switch to the GFI outlet so it convenient and easy to
turn the fountain pump on and off. Some fountains have an easily accessible on / off switch, while others do not. For those that do not I
recommend installing the wall switch.
The installation of your indoor wall mounted fountain must be done correctly to keep the warranty active,
maximize the beauty of the water feature and to avoid frustration. It is not difficult, but it must be done with care and correctly. Proper
installation is the first step to proper fountain care and maintenance.
