Choose a location of your swimming pool to set the fountain. Although it will be easier to set up the fountain in a more shallow section of the pool, you can decide to place it anywhere you want.
Connect a long fountain head on the top end of a powerful fountain pump. Research different sprayers to find the water display that suits your style.
Set the pump on the bottom of a relatively shallow portion of the pool so that the fountain head breaches the surface. If you desire to place the fountain in the deep end, you will need a longer pump head fixture.
Run the electrical cord away from the poolside to a dry location and plug in the pump. Do not turn on the pump until the device has been fully submerged.
Cover the cord with a rubber mat to protect your poolside guests and the fountain itself. Adjust the fountain head to control the height of the fountain’s spray.
