Cast Stone Installation

We recommend silicone adhesive between stacked components of fountains, statues, birdbaths, lanterns, and other cast stone items.

• Apply liberally on the top of bottom piece where it will join with the top piece.
• Carefully and firmly place the top piece on it.
• Allow to set.

Always detach silicone-adhered pieces before lifting or moving.

• Do not lift birdbath, fountains, lanterns or other units without first completely disassembling them.
• Carefully detach the silicone-adhered pieces with a gentle rocking and twisting motion.
• Reassemble with silicone adhesion as described above.

Place the fountain pedestal or statuary on a firm and level location.

• Ensure that the suface is firm, stable, and strong.
• That the fountain or statuary should not sink into the ground, break through the flooring, or wobble.
• Fountains. A level surface is necessary for even water flow.
• A concrete patio block may be used, or pour a permanent concrete pad.

Fountains. Consult a licensed electrician and your building codes so that your fountain is safely installed according to your local codes and regulations.

• Some fountains come with a submersible recirculating pump.
• In this case, no plumbing lines are needed.
• You will need a grounded 110V (AC only) GCFI protected receptacle near the fountain site.
• Your fountain site should be within reach of a garden hose to replenish the water as it evaporates and to rinse the fountain.
