Bubbler Rock Fountain Installation

Connections

• Make certain that all connections in a bubbler rock fountain are secure. When you attach the hose to the pump, push it onto the attachment as far as it will go and give it a slight twisting action as you do so. If the hose detaches, the entire system will need removing to place the hose back onto the pump. You can add a small automotive hose clamp and tighten it with a screwdriver to ensure a good connection.

Adding Water to the System

• In extremely dry and hot climates, you may have to add some water periodically to the system. This will replace water that evaporates in the dry heat. If the fountain spray height does not bubble out of the top rock but bubbles from within, it is a sign that the water level in the bucket is too low. Just add some water from the top out of a garden hose until the bubbles appear on the outside of the top rock as usual.

Indoor Installation

• A bubbler rock fountain can install in a large flowerpot inside your home. Make sure that the pot does not have a drain hole in the bottom but is a solid either clay or heavy plastic pot. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for indoor installation so that the pot is deep enough for the system to fit in and it is large enough around at the top so that the water does not overextend the top rim of the pot.

Troubleshooting

• When choosing the decorative rock or pebbles to go on top of the plastic liner keep in mind that there are holes in the lid of the bucket. If you use small pebbles like gravel, they may go inside the bucket lid through the holes and start to fill the bucket. This will leave less space inside the bucket for adequate water that the pump needs to function and the stream of water will become weak. If you add water to the system and it does not have additional water velocity, check the bucket to make sure that small pebbles or any other items have not entered the bucket through the lid.
