DIY Outdoor Water Fountain Installation

Introduction

Installing a small solar powered water fountain is easy and can be done in just a few hours, but it’s important to have the right tools on hand before getting started. If you don’t have everything handy when it comes time to install your fountain, then you will likely run into problems that could end up costing you more money in the long run when it comes time to fix them. In this guide, we’ll go over what kinds of tools you need for an outdoor fountain installation project as well as some tips and tricks for making sure everything goes smoothly during the process itself!

Install Fountains in Sunny Locations.Solar water fountains need to be in a sunny location so they can run on solar power.

Solar power is extremely simple to use and maintain, and doesn’t require any fuel or electricity. This means that once you’ve installed your fountain, you can forget about it and let it run on its own. The only thing you’ll need to do is make sure that the solar panels are getting enough sunlight every day (the more sunlight they get, the better).

If you live in a sunny climate like Arizona or Florida, this isn’t usually much of an issue—but if you live in an area with less direct sunlight throughout the year like Seattle or New York City, there are ways to keep your fountain running no matter what time of year it is!

Choose the Right Fountain.Solar fountains don’t require a lot of power, but as a result, they aren’t made to handle big jobs.

A solar-powered water fountain is a good choice for your yard if you want to add some greenery, soft sounds and movement to the area. The fountain will continuously use energy from sunlight throughout the day, so it will continue to run for as long as there is enough light available.

For best results, choose a fountain that is the right size for your needs. Look for one that has a pump that can handle the water flow and also has a large enough reservoir to hold enough water to fill the fountain when it comes on at night or in low-light conditions.

Clear the Installation Area.Before you place your solar powered water fountain anywhere, make sure that you have cleared and prepped the designated area.

  • Remove any debris or obstructions that are in the way of where you want to place your solar powered water fountain.
  • Clean the area with a hose and make sure no debris remains (such as dirt, twigs, leaves)
  • Use a vacuum to remove any dust or dirt that remains

Position the Pump in Place.The pump is the most important part of any water fountain, and it’s where you should focus first when installing yours.

Start by placing the pump near the reservoir to make sure you have enough water to power it. Try not to put it in direct sunlight, as this can cause overheating and damage. Make sure that your pump is level so that it will have a consistent flow of water through it, increasing longevity and efficiency.

Prepare Your Fountains Water Reservoir.If your fountain has a separate water reservoir, attach it to the pump and use a hose to fill it with water.

If your fountain has a separate water reservoir, attach it to the pump and use a hose to fill it with water. Make sure there are no leaks.

Once you have filled your water reservoir with the appropriate amount of water, go ahead and test out your fountain so that you can make any adjustments necessary before installing it outside.

Add Your Fountain Head and Check for Leaks.Put your fountains head on top of the pump next, then test out the entire setup to make sure there are no leaks or other problems with it not working properly.

  • Check for leaks.
  • Make sure the fountain head is on securely, making sure that there are no leaks or other problems with it not working properly.

Make sure you have all the tools you need before getting started with any outdoor fountain installation project.

  • Bucket
  • Pliers
  • Screwdrivers (Phillips and flathead)
  • Sink
  • Sink plunger or other device for clearing clogs in the drain line of your sink, if necessary. A plunger (or an old-fashioned hand pump) may be used to clear any dirt that has accumulated inside the fountain’s water chamber and piping system. Note: While it is possible to get by without a sink, having one on hand can make cleanup much easier if you’re working outdoors. If you do not have access to a sink, consider using a large bucket instead.
  • Tape measurer A tape measurer will allow you to determine how far away from your house or building the solar panel should be installed in order for it to receive enough sunlight throughout each day when it’s turned on—the farther away from these structures that your panels are located, the more energy they’ll generate during daylight hours when they’re needed most!
