The Aquascape Fire Fountain Add-On Kit is designed to enhance existing Aquascape urn fountains by adding a captivating fire element. This kit transforms various urn fountains into a dynamic feature combining the soothing sound of water with the mesmerizing glow of fire, creating a unique ambiance for outdoor spaces. It is specifically designed to be compatible with a range of Aquascape urn fountains, ensuring a seamless integration and enhancing their aesthetic and sensory appeal.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Fire Fountain Add-On Kit is to introduce a controlled flame atop an existing urn fountain. This is achieved through a simple assembly process involving a fire pot holder, a stainless steel fire pot, a wick, and paraffin oil. The kit allows users to easily convert their water feature into a dual-element display, offering both visual warmth and the gentle sound of flowing water. The flame is produced by igniting paraffin oil absorbed by a long-lasting wick, housed within the stainless steel fire pot. The design ensures that the fire element is safely contained and easily extinguishable with a dedicated cover. This add-on provides an additional layer of sensory experience, making the fountain a focal point day and night.

Important Technical Specifications:

The kit includes several key components, each designed for durability and ease of use:

GFRC Fire Pot Holder (No. 1): This component is made from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), known for its strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to outdoor elements. It securely holds the stainless steel fire pot in place atop the urn fountain.
Stainless Steel Fire Pot (No. 2): Constructed from stainless steel, this pot is highly resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, ensuring longevity and safe operation. It is designed to contain the paraffin oil and the wick.
Stainless Steel Wick Ring (No. 3): This ring helps to secure the wick in its proper position within the fire pot, ensuring consistent flame performance.
Fire Pot Cover (No. 4): Also made from a durable material, this cover is used to safely extinguish the flame by depriving it of oxygen. Its design allows for quick and easy placement over the fire pot.
Long-lasting Wick (No. 5): The wick is engineered for extended use, providing a consistent flame when saturated with paraffin oil. Its durability minimizes the need for frequent replacement.

The kit is designed for specific Aquascape urn fountains, ensuring proper fit and function:

Fire Fountain Add-On Kit for Stacked Slate Urns (Item #78221): Compatible with Small (#98939), Medium (#78207), and Large (#98940) Stacked Slate Urn Fountains. It is important to note that this kit is only compatible with 2016 production fountains or later, indicating potential design changes in earlier models that might affect compatibility.
Fire Fountain Add-On Kit for Scalloped Urns (Item #78260): Compatible with Small (#78238), Medium (#78239), and Large (#78240) Scalloped Urn Fountains.
Fire Fountain Add-On Kit for Rippled Urns (Item #78267): Compatible with Small (#78241), Medium (#78242), and Large (#78243) Rippled Urn Fountains.

Usage Features:

The installation and operation of the Fire Fountain Add-On Kit are designed to be straightforward, allowing users to quickly set up and enjoy their enhanced fountain.

Placement of Fire Pot Holder and Fire Pot: The GFRC fire pot holder is simply placed into the top of the fountain, followed by the stainless steel fire pot. This step ensures a stable base for the fire element.
Wick Preparation: The long-lasting wick is pushed to the bottom of the stainless steel fire pot, and the wick ring is placed on top to secure it. This prepares the wick for optimal oil absorption and consistent flame.
Fueling and Lighting: Paraffin oil (not included) is added to the fire pot until the wick is fully saturated and the pot is full. The wick is then lit using a long-handled lighter or match, emphasizing safety during ignition.
Extinguishing the Flame: To extinguish the flame, the fire pot cover is simply placed over the stainless steel fire pot. This method safely smothers the flame by cutting off its oxygen supply.

The ease of use extends to the selection of fuel, with paraffin oil being the recommended and safe choice for a clean burn and minimal residue. The design ensures that the fire element is a controlled and safe addition to an outdoor environment.

Maintenance Features:

Maintenance for the Fire Fountain Add-On Kit is minimal, focusing primarily on refilling the paraffin oil and ensuring the components are clean.

Wick Durability: The "long-lasting wick" reduces the frequency of replacement, contributing to lower ongoing maintenance.
Component Materials: The use of stainless steel for the fire pot and wick ring, along with GFRC for the fire pot holder, provides excellent resistance to weathering and corrosion. These materials are easy to clean and maintain their appearance over time, even with exposure to heat and outdoor elements.
Paraffin Oil: Using paraffin oil, as recommended, helps to keep the fire pot clean by burning efficiently and producing less soot compared to other fuels.
Cover for Extinguishing: The fire pot cover not only extinguishes the flame but also helps to protect the wick and the inside of the fire pot from environmental debris when not in use.

Overall, the Aquascape Fire Fountain Add-On Kit offers a simple, elegant, and durable solution for enhancing existing urn fountains, providing a captivating blend of water and fire with minimal effort in setup and maintenance.
