Galaxy Fountains

Congratulations on your new Galaxy Fountain!

Each one is made entirely by hand, and is a unique

work of art. There will be variations in each one

of them, and that is part of their charm. With a

minimum of care, it should provide you with years

and years of enjoyment. Please read this packet

before you install the piece.

Tools you Will Need:

Pencil, Level, Screwdriver, Hammer, Pliers

Mounting Hardware:

D-Ring Hangers + Anchors and screws

Hanging the copper reservoir

Smaller fountains hang from a total of four

anchored screws, (two in the reservoir, two at the

top of the artwork). When you install them, hold

the basin in the approximate position where you

will want the basin to hang, and mark where the

holes will be drilled. Use a level to make sure that

the basin is hanging straight. If you have a larger

basin, additional instructions will come after this

section.

Next, make a small hole in the drywall at each

spot that you marked with the drill or a

screwdriver. The hole should be just small enough

that the blue plastic anchors fit tightly. If you have

to tap them in a little, you are doing it just right.

Next line up the basin with the holes and tighten

the screws through the appropriate holes in the

copper reservoir

Mounting the Artwork

If you examine the back of the fountain (the piece

with the art on it), then you will see two “D” rings

or hanging brackets high, one on either side.

Get a second pair of hands to help you with this

step. Gently lower the artwork in to the basin. The

art work fits an inch or two inside the basin.(This

allows a range of between 47” and 49” for the

total height of the fountain. Do not rest or hang

the artwork so that it touches the bottom of the

basin. With one person stabilizing the piece, have

the other person make a light pencil mark to

determine where anchors will be mounted

With the line marked, set the fountain aside for the

moment. Again, taking a level, make sure that the

line is level. Then mark the spots where the

anchors will be drilled. As you did with the basin,

make a small hole in the wall, and tap in the

plastic anchor. Then screw in the long silver

screws that are supplied. Test the two screws to

make sure they are firmly attached to the wall.

Once you are sure that the screws are secure, grab

that second pair of hands and together lift the

artwork up against the wall and gently slide it

down until the “D” rings are hanging securely on

the screws. At this point, double check that both

the art work and the basin are hanging securely.

Plumbing and Electrics

The hard part is done now. You will see a tube

hanging down from the art work with a copper

tube slid into it. This slides onto the tube from the

fountain pump.

LIGHTS

If you didn’t order lights, just skip this section.

If you did order lights, there are two

configurations:

LED backlighting looks like tiny fireflies or stars

from the front. They are very effective mood

lighting.

If you ordered the LED backlights, you will see

the cord hanging down from the artwork as well.

The cord is short. This is done by design so that

the cord won’t accidentally slip into the water.

Light Hood: The light hood is a copper fascia up

at the top of the fountain which houses down-wash

light(s).

With the electrics, make sure that they plug in to a GFI (ground-fault interrupter). You can buy one of these at any hardware store for around $10. This is a safety precaution. Many of our clients even have electricians install recessed outlets behind the fountain. If you plan on doing this, a good rule of thumb is to have it at least 18” up from the bottom of the fountain, and at the centerpoint of the artwork. Note that this isn’t mandatory, but it does hide all of the cords quite well.

The long white feeder tube at the top of the fountain is where all the “action” takes place. There are a number of holes from which the water flows, and this tube is pre-adjusted prior to shipping. Once you have the fountain installed and filled-up, it's time to test it out. Plug it in, but if it's been jarred in shipping, be prepared to unplug so you can adjust. The adjusting is simple: With the fountain installed, loosen the screws that hold the feeder tube at the top.
