Issues to be looked into before the Installation of a Fountain
Fountain installation can be carried out efficiently if the following issues are addressed prior to the installation:
Accessibility of the Area for Installation: Take into account the size and weight of the fountain you have selected and thus determine the best route to bring the fountain to the location where it has to be installed. That is the key. For smaller fountain this may be inconsequential. However, one needs to pay attention to the issue of accessibility if you have to bring in pool or wall basins and other large pieces. The wellbeing of your home and fountain as well as the safety of our installation personnel will have to be clearly thought through. Fountains that include basins with diameters 70” or larger require that our delivery truck be able to back up directly to the installation site.
Clear the Area prior to Installation: A clean and properly grated area is ideal for installation. Please do your best to clear the area. If any existing landscaping, etc., needs to be removed please do so or notify us before delivery. If additional equipment or materials are needed please let us know beforehand, as this will aid in completing the job properly and in a timely fashion. For example, if the area is boggy, we suggest mixing in contractor’s sand to improve drainage and help stabilize the fountain. On the other hand, if the fountain is going on a deck or a wall and drilling is necessary to hang the fountain, conceal the cord or access electricity, the proper drill and specific bits will be necessary. We aim to arrive properly equipped and be able to finish the job efficiently. However, we need to tap into your knowledge of the location of installation and cooperation to get it done right the very first time.
Electricity and Access to Water are the basic necessities of installing a fountain. Electricity must be in place before our personnel arrive on site for installation. If you do not have electricity in the area, we suggest that you have a standard outdoor electrical box on a GFI breaker installed in an accessible place nearby the fountain and within the reach of the pump’s cord. Finally, before our personnel leave the installation site, they must fill water and operate the fountain to ensure that it is working properly. If the fountain site is a considerable distance from the water source, please make sure to supply additional hose.
Please contact Hyams Garden Center at 843-795-4570 if you have any further questions or concerns. It is important to know as much as possible before we arrive on the site of installation in order to save us all valuable time and money. Your cooperation in helping us to improve our service is always appreciated.

Check Water often, Keep the stand full

Place tree away from heat sources, heating vents, fire places, wood stoves, radiators and sunny windows
Check lights and cords for broken bulbs and frayed wiring
Do not overload electric circuits
