Unit shipped complete with unit, cable, and power control centre. 50Hz applications do not receive a Power Control Center. Unit average weight is between 900-950 lbs or 410-435 kg. Minimum operating depth is 48in or 1.2m. The fountain intake must have a minimum flow rate of .5ft/sec (15cm/sec) for every 6 inches (15 cm) of water. Spray performance and pumping rates are approximate and may vary due to voltage, elevation, inadequate water flow, and relative humidity. These units require a clean source of water. They are not intended for use as a water quality management tool.
Unit Design
Our Giant Fountains have been designed and engineered by expert craftsman to provide a high quality, ease of use product that delivers results.
Installation
The Polaris arrives partially assembled and installation can be performed in just a few steps.
Install Power Control Center
Power control centre is mounted onshore; a certified electrician is recommended to perform this step.
Lay Power Cable
Bury/trench power in conduit to pond edge, connect plug to unit.
Launch System in Water
With the large wheels the Giant Fountain can be rolled and launched into the water (a boat launch or ramp can ease the process). A crane or hoist can simplify the process, while ponds with steep banks will require a crane.
Adjust Floatation
Sections of the float allow you to adjust buoyancy to lower float profile in the water.
Secure/Moor into Place
Unit features a 3-point mooring system. The use of a boat may be required to simplify the process.
Operating Depth
The unit intake must have a minimum flow rate of .5ft/sec (15cm/sec) for every 6 inches (15 cm) of water. Water depth must be deep enough for the unit to float during use.
Operating Temperature
Giant Fountain motors run best in water temperatures below 86° Fahrenheit or 30° Celsius. Running the motor in water temperatures higher than that may decrease the life of the unit.
Maintenance & Winterisation
The Giant Fountains require no routine maintenance. If the screen becomes clogged, the basket type screen can easily be removed while the fountain is in place and cleaned with a wire brush.
