INSTALLER
NOTE: It is common practice to ground electrical hardware such as telephones, computers and other devices
to available water lines. This can, however, cause electrical feedback in the plumbing circuit, which
results in an “electrolysis” effect occurring in the fountain. This may result in water which has a metallic
taste to it or has a noticeable increase in the metallic content of the water.
When inspecting plumbing circuit, remember the line may be grounded some distance from the
installation, and may occur outside the building or area in which the unit is being installed.
This condition can be avoided (in most cases) by using recommended materials during installation. Any
drain fittings provided by the installer should be made of plastic which will electronically isolate the
fountain from the remainder of the building’s plumbing circuits.
