Adding a wall fountain to your home or office is an easy way to add beauty and peaceful sounds to the area, but sometimes people are intimidated with hanging a large wall fountain. It is actually easier than you think.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Wall Fountain
  • Drill
  • Level
  • Stud Finder
  • Tape Measure
  • Pencil
  1. Step 1

    Locate where you will want to hang the wall fountain on your wall. If your fountain is a heavier model (which most are) you will want to locate the stud on the wall and use that as your center mark. Mark the top center with your pencil. You might want to use your tape measure to determine the center location.

  2. Step 2

    Install the supplied bracket. Most fountains come with a bracket that allows for easy hanging. Make sure that atleast one part of your bracket is fastened to the stud so the weight will be supported.

  3. Step 3

    Make sure the bracket is level. Even the slightest tilting of your bracket will make your water fountain flow unevenly.

  4. Step 4

    Slide wall fountain surface and hood/trays onto bracket.

  5. Step 5

    Add water and plug in pumps and lights.

Tips & Warnings
  • Mirror surface fountains will sometimes not flow evenly at first. They will have a tendency to flow towards the middle. To fix this, use a scotch pad and while the fountain is flowing gently use the pad to even the flow out towards both sides.
  • Some manufacturers have different style brackets, always consult your original installation instructions.
