Installing Your Wall Fountain

Because of their large size, wall fountains can be quite heavy. Multiple panels help lower the lifting burden, but it is recommended that two people install wall fountains for the most efficient—and safest—set up. While indoor wall fountains can be installed on nearly any type of wall, we discourage hanging from sheet rock or plaster due to the weight of the fountains. Wall-mounted brackets are installed into your wall studs or other load-bearing surfaces such as wood or metal. For best results and to prevent damage to your space or new indoor water fountain, follow the instructions that are included with each of our indoor fountains to guide you through the specific process required by your purchased fountain.
If you would like to plan ahead for the best aesthetic effect, consider placing a GFI outlet directly behind the wall fountain; an electrician should be able to do this with very little trouble. This way the electrical cord for the fountain and lights will not be visible. If you choose to install an electrical outlet behind the fountain, we recommend wiring it to a wall switch that will enable you to easily turn your fountain on and off without having to reach behind the stone to pull out the plug. You may always disguise the cord with potted plants or furniture as well if you prefer.

Should you decide that you need professional assistance to install your wall fountain, we regret that we do not offer installation services at this time. We recommend contacting a local contractor who will be able to help with this process.
