Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Atlantic FB2400 Fountain Basin. Before using this basin
please take a moment to review this manual. Fountain Basins provide a stable,
self-contained base to mount pump and plumbing for decorative water features.
Installation
Begin by excavating a hole at least 6 inches larger than the basin and 9½" deep. This depth
will leave the Fountain Basin slightly higher than the ground around it, keeping soil, mulch
or gravel from washing in. Angling the sides of the hole outward slightly will aid in the
backfill process.
Caution: Do not dig too deep. The
Fountain Basin should be set on
undisturbed earth if possible. In case you
over-dig, be sure to compact the soil
thoroughly to prevent settling. The bottom
of the hole should be level side-to-side
and front-to-back (Figure 1).
Add enough water to the Fountain Basin
to keep it from shifting during the backfill
process. Use loose soil from the excavation
to fill the void around the perimeter of the
basin, leaving the area outside the pump
chamber open until all of the electrical
and plumbing connections are made.
Lightly compact the soil around the basin
as you backfill (Figure 2). Caution: over
compacting can distort the side walls of
the Fountain Basin.
Plumbing
Note: Auto Fill Kit AF1000 can be added to
any Fountain Basin to keep the basin filled
with water automatically. It is easiest to
install AF1000 before plumbing the pump.
Using a 7/8" bit, drill a hole about 1" below
the top of the flat wall on the left side of
the pump chamber. Connect the Autofill
to your choice of water source using either
the 3/ 4 " Garden Hose Adapter, 1/2" rigid PVC
slip fitting or 1/2" flexible "funny pipe"
adapter (all included in AF1000 Auto Fill
Kit). See Kit Instructions for details.
The Atlantic FB2400 Fountain Basin is
designed to work with Atlantic Fountain
Pumps, featuring built-in flow control for
fast, easy flow adjustment. You will need a
3-4' long piece of 1/2" tubing and two hose
clamps. Attach one end of the tubing to
the barbed outlet at the top of the
Fountain Pump and secure with one hose
clamp. (Figure 3)
