Thank-you for purchasing a Gardens of Italy quality product. We would like to make
installation as easy as possible for you with this installation pamphlet, so that you
can enjoy this magnificent water feature in your setting.
- Place Damring Sicilia (635) on level compacted ground.
- Place the Cauria Base (with cheescake) (290) in middle of the dam.
- Cement the Tre Cadute Large Layer (8) to the Cauria Base (290). Push through hose to extend 100mm above the top.
- Cement the Tre Cadute Mid Layer (7) on top of the Tre Cadute Large Layer (8), using the wooden wedges to ensure it is level. Push through hose to extend 100mm above the top.
- Cement the Tre Cadute Small Layer (6) on top of the Tre Cadute Mid Layer (7), using the wooden wedges to ensure it is level. Push through hose to extend 100mm above the top.
- When placing the Puttino (149) the hose should extend up to a third into the height of the Puttino. The hose should also be Silicone sealed on the inside to prevent backflow of water down the inside of the fountain. The Puttino can then be cemented in place.
- After the cement has set the Wedges can be removed and the holes left by them plastered over. The cemented joints can now be smoothed down and wrapped with wet sponge or felt and plastic to aid the curing process. Wrapping should be left on for 24 hours, after which the joints can be painted over.
- Install the pump inside the Cauria Base, leaving +/- 500mm slack on electric cable to facilitate servicing of pump.
Foundation using Damring without floor
- Choose a level area or out area where foundation must be laid. Mark out foundation with 4mm wire pegs and fishing line. Dig out foundation 100mm deep and prepare cement mix.
- Lay foundation 100mm thick, making sure to include the PVC conduit pipe. While cement is still wet smooth down foundation to ensure a level area to work on.
- After initial period of 6 hours, hose down the foundation periodically to facilitate even setting of cement without cracking. -Every hour during daytime period. - Twice during nighttime period. This should be done for the next 18 hours, and a plastic sheet may also be used to cover the foundation during this period.
- After the 24 hour setting and hardening period the damring can be installed.
- Wet the bottom of the damring and set down in place. Make sure Damring is level with a spirit level and by inserting Wooden Wedges.
- After cement has dried, the Wedges can be removed and the holes filled up. The inside of the dam can now be waterproofed using Pro-Long, or any other waterproofing paint.
- Now the Cauria Base can be placed in the middle of the dam, but make sure that the cheesecake segment faces away from the main approach of the fountain.
