Instructions
- Use pliers or wire cutters to carefully break off
a small piece of clay, about an ½-inch x ½-inch, notch
along top edge of one 4-inch and one 3-inch saucer. These
notches provide a path for water to flow.
- Use drill with masonry bit or sandpaper to smooth
and shape each notch into a half circle.
- Use drill with masonry bit or hammer and pointed
tool to bore a hole centered in bottom of 4-inch notched
saucer. Make hole large enough for fountain pump tube to
fit through.
- Glue clay pot bottom and saucer bottoms together
as follows being sure to match holes: 10-inch pot to 10-inch
saucer; 4-inch pot to 4-inch notched saucer; 2 ½-inch
pot to 3-inch notched saucer; two 3-inch saucers.
- Glue bottom of 3-inch pot centered inside 4-inch
notched saucer, be sure to match holes.
- Arrange saucers and pots inside 10-inch saucer as
shown in photo. Be sure to place notched saucers so when
water is pumped through, the path of water will spill
from one saucer into the other and then into the two 3-inch
saucers which are glued together.
- Glue everything into place EXCEPT 4-inch pot,
with stacked arrangement. Assemble fountain pump
following manufacturers instructions and place
inside 4-inch pot; insert tube through holes in 4-inch
pot, 4-inch saucer and 3-inch pot. DO NOT glue 4-inch pot
into place.
- Place a few rocks inside top 3-inch pot and
saucers which are facing upward.
