Assembly of Watering Can Fantasy Fountain
Unpack all items from box. Read and save instructions. You should have the following items:
Watering Can Faucet Clear Plastic Tube(s)* Pump Brochure Instructions Hummingbird* Butterfly*
1. Your Fantasy Fountain is easily assembled by following instructions. Watering can is authentic and will have
imperfections that add to weathered look. As with any fountain, never place on any surface which may be
damaged by water.
2. Remove tie from cord folded inside watering can. Carefully remove the twist-tie from around pump. The outside
of watering can has a hole from which plug emerges. Carefully pull cord (so as not to interfere with internal
parts) to desired length in order to reach electrical outlet you plan to use. Do not plug it into outlet at this time.
(Any excess cord can be stored inside watering can.)
3. Fill watering can with water approximately halfway up side of gray housing, making sure to totally submerse
pump but do not fill above bolt hole in rear handle as water will leak out, making it appear as though can is
leaking from bottom. An inexpensive one-gallon bottle of drinking water is recommended. Do not fill above
bolt. (The lower the water level in fountain, the higher the volume of “tinkle” from the falling water.) Keep
water level above pump at all times but never as high as the bolt hole.
4. Inside watering can (approximately in the center) is a gray plastic tube. Place clear plastic tube (end with no
holes) into gray connector tube. Clear tube should be straight up and down. It can be straightened by
sliding pump (backwards, forwards & sideways) slightly inside gray housing.
5. * Locate tiny hole approximately 2 inches from top of clear plastic tube. This hole was drilled at an angle
downward into clear tube. This angle is important. Hold hummingbird by beak and place beak into downward
angled hole so that tail of hummingbird is higher than beak. (If body of hummingbird is below level of hole,
water will run down beak and onto body. This will damage hummingbird and cause water to flow onto floor.)
When removing bird, maintain this angle so as not to enlarge hole. An extra tube is included WITHOUT a bird
hole for outdoor use, bird and butterfly are too delicate for outdoor areas where sun, wind or rain can damage
them.
6. Make sure faucet is closed by turning handle clockwise until tight. Place faucet on top of clear plastic tube.
(On Deluxe models, position faucet so that it is opposite hummingbird*.) A slight downward pressure is needed
to seat faucet on tube.
7. Plug fountain into electrical outlet. Water will flow from faucet. Adjust faucet so that flow of water is uniform
around clear tube. If flow of water is not uniform around clear tube, move faucet slightly up or down, left or
right, until flow is completely covering tube. If flow is still not correct; remove faucet, twist clear tube a ¼ turn,
and readjust faucet. During shipping, the “trap door” of pump may be jarred slightly open, causing the pump to
lose power; should this occur (water will not reach faucet), simply squeeze the front and back (not sides) of the
pump with fingers, snapping it back into place. Cord should have some slack so it drapes slightly below outlet.
(Always use a grounded electrical outlet; if you do not have this type of outlet, use adapter between outlet and
plug.).
8. * Butterfly comes with two small pieces of Velcro dots. Use dots to attach butterfly. Separate them; remove
backing from one dot and push onto watering can wherever you want butterfly positioned. Remove backing from
second dot and attach carefully to belly of butterfly. Wait 24 hours! Then push body of butterfly onto first dot
with a slight pressure.
9. You have finished the assembly of your Fantasy Fountain. Enjoy the enchanting sound and mystical illusion.
Always remember to empty and rinse with warm water periodically to prevent cloudy water due to mineral build
up. Constant topping off will cause excessive mineral build-up as evaporation occurs. After the first five days
of use, empty water, rinse and refill in order to wash out mineral leaching from “newness”. Always replace
with fresh water at first sign of cloudiness.
10. To prevent damage, do not let pump run dry. Always remove faucet when you move the fountain. Water quality
varies in different geographic locations. Use of water with a high mineral content (hard water) may void your
warranty. One gallon of bottled drinking water is recommended and will greatly reduce necessary
cleaning. (Do not use distilled water.)
