Introduction

Thank you for choosing an Atlantic Aura Vase or Fountain Bowl for your landscape project.

Constructed of solid brass, Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls have a natural patina finish that will

evolve over time but never peel or flake. Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls are designed to be

used with specific reservoirs that simplify installation but may be adapted for use anywhere in

the landscape, with a variety of water sources, in both standalone and cascading applications.

Prior to Operation and Installation

Caution:

• DO NOT operate this product under any conditions other than those for which it is

specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead to product failure or other problems

• Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls are designed for use in fresh water Fountain, Formal Spillway

and Pond-free applications.

Note:

Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls with Spillways are designed to produce a vertical water sheer

with very little projection. The spillway lip should protrude at least 4" over the catch basin.

Installation

Atlantic Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls may be used with a variety of different reservoirs,

including Fountain Basins, Flexible Fountain Basins and the Eco-Rise System. Regardless of the

choice of reservoir system, follow installation instructions to ensure that Aura Vases and

Fountain Bowls will be installed on a level, stable surface, with provisions made for 1" - 1½" inlet

plumbing entering from below.

Select and Install Reservoir

Determine where and how your Vase(s) and/or Bowl(s) will be displayed. Follow the installation

instructions included with the basins.

Provide Clearance for Plumbing

Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls are plumbed from below and will require at least 2½" of

clearance for the supply line. Provisions will have to be made to accommodate the pipe and

fittings while supporting the Vase, Bowl or Pedestal. Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls can be

elevated on Eco-Blox and Fountain Basins using the Atlantic ECORISE12, providing the

necessary clearance and making the plumbing easier to install. If the Eco-Rise is not used, Aura

Vases and Fountain Bowls may be elevated using landscape blocks set side by side with a

space between for the supply line. After installation soil, gravel or mulch may be used to

conceal the blocks and supply line.

Plumbing Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls

Aura Vases and Fountain Bowls feature dual inlets in the base of the bowl, one at center, one

off center. The center inlet is typically used for incoming water flow. Minimum 1" I.D tubing is

required for optimal water flow. With the empty feature upside down, attach a 1½" male

threaded fitting of your choice to the 1½" female threaded inlet using thread sealant or silicone

on the threads. Thread the fitting into the inlet by hand until tight and finish off with a half turn

from a wrench. Connect the supply line from the pump to the fitting on the bottom of the

bowl. Set the Vase or Bowl right side up on the base of your choice, adjust the supply line as

needed and check for level. Shim as needed to ensure Bowl or Vase is level in all directions.
