Product Installation

Installation is very easy. The Instant Fountain comes fully assembled and is ready to install out of the box with no need for an outside contractor. Additional tools and materials required for installation can include: a shovel (to bury/trench cable,) conduit, polypropylene rope, cinder blocks (when anchoring), boat (when anchoring,) rebar or duckbill anchors (when mooring).

Complete installation instructions will be found within the Instant Fountains owner’s manual which will be provided with the delivery of the product.

Average weight of shipment will range between 51-59lbs or 23-27kg.

Basic Installation Guidelines:

Unit Assembly: Unit arrives configured as the Phoenix pattern with no assembly required. If another pattern is desired, simply specify at time of order or convert to a different pattern with the components included in the package prior to placing unit in water. Tools required for converting patterns include a 1/8in Allen wrench which is provided, but a 7/16in or 11mm socket or wrench and medium Phillips head screwdriver will also be needed. All hardware is provided.
Mini Power Control Center (PCC) Installation: Although the PCC is rated for residential, it’s recommended to have a qualified electrician on-site to have it installed. (PCC is standard for all domestic/60Hz applications.)
Power Cable: Power cable should be buried or trenched in conduit per local codes, and run at least 3ft or 1m out into the pond/basin.
Anchor/Mooring Unit in Water: Float unit into the water and either anchor or moor it in to place with stainless steel cables or polypropylene rope. For ponds that experience fluctuating water levels we recommend that you moor the unit into its location. Mooring the unit can often be done from the shoreline, while a boat is typically required when anchoring.

Warranty

The Instant Fountain carries an all inclusive 2 year warranty. This warranty extends to the complete package including the unit, cable and power control center. Warranty and service can be performed by more than 100 factory trained and certified Otterbine Service Centers found worldwide, or by Otterbine directly. A copy of the warranty statement for this product can be found within the owner’s manual.

Maintenance

The Instant Fountain requires no preventative or annual maintenance. Should the screen clog, it can be cleaned by turning the unit off, unplugging it from the power source, and removing debris by hand or with a wire bristle brush.

Winterization

The Instant Fountain must be removed in climates that experience cold winters and frozen waters before lakes freeze over. In part to the water-cooled motor, units left in the water during freezing conditions may experience damage to the motor. For ease of installation and removal Otterbine recommends the cable quick disconnect option when purchasing.
