1 Stop Indoor Fountains

Installing a wall fountain can be pretty easy, however you may want to hire professionals for the electrical portion of the job.

Generally, when you install a wall fountain, you will need two people.

Although it is not required, it is recommended that you install a GFI outlet in the wall directly behind the location of the placement of the fountain prior to installing the fountain.

You could hire an electrician in your area to install the GFI outlet for you. By hiring a professional, you will save yourself the trouble of trying to make the installation and hiding the cords.

Be sure to place the electrical outlet near the center of the fountain so that it is not directly behind either the basin or the hood of the fountain.

The electrical outlet should be placed behind the left most stone as you face the fountain on the wall for both double and triple panel fountains.

If you do decide to install an electrical outlet behind the fountain, it is a good idea to wire the fountain to a wall switch.

Wiring the fountain in this manner will allow you to easily turn your fountain on and off without having to reach behind the stone to pull out the plug.

If you do not want to have an electrical outlet installed specifically for the fountain, another option available to you is to simply disguise the cord by placing a plant or other décor in front of it.

You can install the fountain on almost any type of wall, including cinder block and metal stud walls. If you re installing a heavy wall fountain, you must mount the fountain directly into the stud, whether wood or metal.

Do not attempt to hang a heavy wall fountain from sheet rock or plaster. Instructions should be included with each of the fountains to help you through the installation process.

Required Tools:
The tools required will vary with each individual fountain. This is just a guide to provide information for your benefit. You should receive a set up guide, which will tell you what tools you will need, when the fountain arrives. The tools required to hang the wall fountain may include, but are not necessarily limited to the following:

* Phillips head screwdriver and standard screwdriver
* Slate tabletop fountains
* Cordless drill
* Tape measure
* Masking tape
* Stud finder
* Hammer
* Pencil
* Level
