Grecian 3-Tier Pool Fountain Install Manual

The 3-tier Grecian swimming pool fountain is a great addition to your pool and adds a really nice effect. The spray from this fountain is really impressive at full power, which we found out when we first did the install. This is a simple installation that shouldn’t take you more than 15 – 20 minutes.

The first thing we need to do is figure out what return line adapter we need, this depends on what type of return line your pool is using. The hardware that comes with the fountain can be attached to 4 different types of return lines:

Directional eyeball type with a slip nut
1-1/2” female threaded inlet
1’ unthreaded inlet
Pool cleaner quick disconnect fittings

For this example we are going to be installing our fountain into a 1-1/2” female threaded inlet. After the adapter is installed the installation is the same for all 4 types of return lines.

The 1-1/2” female threaded inlet is the same inlet used for universal wall fittings that most pressure side pool cleaners use such as Polaris or Hayward. So all we need to do is take the elbow piece and place the threaded insert over the end with the bleed holes.

Now we are ready to hook up the hose, first insert the hose through one of the black clamps then attach the hose to the end of the elbow with the bleed holes. You can adjust the water pressure by not covering up 1 or 2 of the bleed holes with the hose because it lets water exit, reducing the pressure.

Once we have the hose attached to the elbow we can screw the threaded insert into the return line while still attached to the elbow and hose.

We need to anchor the fountain down so it doesn’t move around the pool while spraying, so to do so we thread the zip tie through the supplied weight anchor but don’t connect the zip tie just yet. You want to attach the zip tie LOOSELY around the hose, it’s important that you leave room for the hose to be filled completely and not cutting off the water flow.

Lastly we place the fountain head into the square float, then thread the hose through the second clamp and insert the hose to the end to the underside of the fountain head. Once everything is attached, go back and tighten both clamps but don’t over then them.

Place the fountain in the middle of the pool and turn on your pump and/or booster pump and behold the glory that is the Grecian 3-tier fountain.

Note: Included in the parts are different yellow reducers that can reduce the water pressure if it is still too much.

Hello Tony and Susan, When we looked into the part it occurred to us that it would not be as cost effective for you the customer. This part is a specialized part carried through the manufacturer and to special order the part it would cost the same amount as a brand new fountain. If you bought the fountain within the last year you can also utilize the manufacturer’s full one-year warranty on the fountain. Here is the contact information for the manufacturer. Horizon P.O. Box 513 Deerfield, IL 60015 773.287.7131. Hopefully this helps you out.
