Instructions / Assembly

Locate the pump, micron filter and flow valve with the“Quick Connect” assembly. Simply thread the flow valve and “Quick Connect” to the
micron filter, then connect the assembly by screwing it into the pump output port (Fig 2.A)(Do not over tighten). Your pump has a vibration
dampener affixed to one side. This pad will rest on the bottom of the base. Make certain the flow adjuster’s red handle is facing up for easy
access (Fig 2.B). Place the entire assembly inside the base with pump pad side down. Take the pump cord and feed it through the electrical
access hole (Fig 2.C).
If you are placing your fountain on a hard flooring surface such as wood or tile please use the
included peel and stick rubber pads for protection against marring. Place one pad on all four
corners of the bottom of the base (Fig 1.A). If placing on carpet you may skip this step.
When considering a location keep in mind the closest electrical outlet and ease of
accessibility for maintenance. Once you have settled on a location for your Gardenfall position
the base so the electrical access hole is to the rear.
Determine the front of the panel. For clear glass Gardenfall
fountains the PVC disperser located at the top of the panel
indicates the front or “flow side” of the panel. Placement of the
panel inside the base will require two people. Note the LED light
cord has been carefully fed through the panel upright at our factory.
Place the LED light cord inside the base.
Carefully slide the panel into the base (Fig 3.A). Make certain both
panel legs are touching the bottom of the base and are not sitting
on the light cord. Feed the light cord out through the electrical
access hole on the side of the base. With the panel now in place
you will need to tighten the thumb screws in the base. There are
two screws on each side to secure the panel in a vertical position
(Fig 3.B).
Locate the LED Light tray. Inside the top of the tray is the remote
receiver and the transformer. The LED light tube is to the front.
You will need to plug in the light cord coming out of the top of the
panel upright into the transformer. Note there are two tabs on
either side of the light tray, these tabs rest inside the panels
uprights. Take the power cord and feed it through the opening
under the left tab. Lower the Light tray onto the fountain uprights.
Place the tabs inside each upright opening and center the light
tray from left to right . Push the light tray back so it is in full
contact with the stainless steel spill over lip.
Slide the Header over the top of the light tray and fountain. Plug
in the LED light cord into your electrical outlet. Read the Remote
Control Guide for more information about the LED light displays
and operation.
We strongly suggest the use of distilled water. Fill the base with water, see below for your
models water requirements:
GF6 Center Mount-12 gallons GF6 Rear Mount-10 gallons
GF8 Center Mount-17 gallons GF8 Rear Mount-15 gallons
The water level must be maintained at least 1”-2” above the pump. If the water level drops
below the pump, splashing and damage may occur. This will also void the warranty.
Never operate your fountain dry or with low water levels.
Before turning on your fountain for the first time make certain the flow adjuster is fully
open, having the flow valve in a closed position puts excessive pressure on the pump and
may cause it to overheat and break. Plug in the pump cord. The flow valve lets you
increase or decrease the amount of water flowing over the waterfall. You will need to adjust
the flow valve to the proper rate for solid water coverage but not so fast that it causes
splashing. Turn the flow valve down if the pressure is too strong and splashing occurs.
Install the Rock Tray(s) and spread Rocks evenly throughout the tray(s).

We strive to make your installation experience just as pleasant and relaxing as our fountains. Our “Certified Simple” instructions
require no tools and can have you enjoying your fountain within minutes of unpacking. Follow the 5 simple steps below to create
your own urban oasis.
FYI: You will need an addtional 7” above the overall height of your fountain to access the disperser bar and light tray located under the header for
maintainence. When selecting your fountain placement please keep this in mind.
We advise running your fountain 24/7 whenever possible. Standing water will grow algae or become slimy when stagnant. Running your fountain
continuously, while maintaining the proper water level will keep the maintenance down to a minimum and lengthen the life of your pump.
Often people are tempted to use chlorine or bleach to clean their fountain, this is unfortunately one of the worst things you can do. Chlorine or most
products ending in “ine” or “ide”will ruin a finish quickly and damage your pump. We recommend non-toxic additives like Fountec (an algaecide)
and Protec (a mineral and scale preventative) should you use tap water. These are available through your authorized Bluworld dealer or Bluworld
HOMelements.
