Basalt Kit Assembly Guide
WARNING: Basalt columns are very heavy. Be careful when lifting, car-
rying, moving or placing stone columns to avoid dropping. More than
one person is recommended to install these stones.
NOTE: Basin may vary from illustration. Use these steps as a general
guide for assembly.
1. Determine location of basin in landscape and excavate hole. En-
sure that the base of the hole is level in all directions. Place basin
in hole. Ensure that proper support is in the basin to handle weight
of the columns.
2. Put pump in basin and run cord through hole in basin top.
3. Insert tubing into friction ring. If kit includes LED light ring, connect
the LED light ring to tubing.
4. Run other end of tubing and LED light ring cord down through the
hole in the basalt from the top. Press the friction ring and the LED
light ring in the hole. Run the tubing through the basin top to the
inside of the basin and connect with pump. Run the LED light ring
cord out of the basin with the pump cord.
5. Carefully place basalt column onto basin. If tubing was not able
to be connected to pump or manifold in previous step, connect
the tubing once the basalt columns are in place.
6. Cover the basin with decorative stone and fill basin with water.
Leave access to pump for final flow adjustments to be made.
7. Connect the LED light ring with the transformer and plug in the
pump. Make final flow adjustments and finishing covering with
decorative stone.

Operation & Maintenance
1. Maintain water level to keep pump fully submersed. Add water as
needed.
2. Algaecide or bacteria may be added to help keep water clear.
Do not use chlorine as this may have negative effects on the
pump.
3. In freezing climates the feature should be shut down and
winterized. Remove the pump, splitters and lighting from the
feature and store in a dry warm place until freezing conditions are
over.
