5 Steps to Install Corten Steel fountain

Step 1: Site Preparation

Clear the installation site, removing weeds and other debris, ensuring the ground is level and clean. For small water features, simple shims can be used to level uneven areas. For large corten steel ponds or fountains, a 5-10 cm thick concrete base must be laid and allowed to harden completely for 24-48 hours.

 

Step 2: Positioning and Securing the Metal Water Feature

When moving a large corten fountain, always have at least two workers present to prevent the steel from bending or causing personal injury. Securely place the water feature in the marked position, using a level to check for flatness from all angles, and adjust the shims until perfectly level. For freestanding water features, use the matching anchors to secure the base to the ground to prevent movement in wind or water flow. For wall-mounted water features, use heavy-duty wall bolts to firmly secure it to a solid wall.

 

Step 3: Installing the Water Pump and Connecting Piping

Place the submersible pump into the built-in tank or concealed reservoir of the Corten Steel Water Features, keeping it away from the tank's inner wall. Connect the matching water pipes between the water pump outlet and the fountain or waterfall outlet. Seal all pipe joints tightly with professional waterproof sealant to prevent leaks.

 

Step 4: Safely Connect the Power Supply

Do not connect the power supply yourself. Have a certified electrician connect the water pump to a dedicated outdoor waterproof safety power outlet according to outdoor electrical safety regulations. Bury all power cords 5 to 10 cm underground and wrap them with protective tubing, or neatly secure them to a wall to prevent tripping and damage.

 

Step 5: Water Filling Test to Verify Operation

Slowly add clean water to the tank, ensuring the water completely covers the water pump. Do not overfill to avoid overflow. Start the water pump and check the water flow. If the water flow is uneven or fails to cover the edge of the waterfall, adjust the pipes and nozzles accordingly.
