Introduction
Thank you for choosing an Atlantic Copper Bowl product. Constructed of solid copper,
Copper Bowls and Pedestals have a warm traditional look that will mellow over time as a
natural patina develops. Copper 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
• Copper Bowls and Copper Pedestal are designed for use in fresh water Fountain, Formal
Spillway and Pond-free applications.
• Spillway/ Fountain Bowls are constructed of solid copper coated with a thin protective
finish and will patina over time as the finish wears away. This process will be accelerated if
Copper Bowls are used with chlorinated water
• If Copper Bowls and Pedestals are used in water gardens, ponds or other water features that
host plants or aquatic animals, be aware that a small amount of copper may be introduced.
As the feature runs and a patina develops, sealing the surface, the amount of copper
entering the system should decrease. If copper is a concern, do not use these in a
biological environment.
Note:
Atlantic Copper Spillway/ Fountain Bowls are designed to produce a vertical water sheer with
very little projection. The spillway lip should protrude at least 4" over the catch basin.
Spillway/ Fountain Bowls are constructed of solid copper coated with a thin protective finish
and will patina over time as the finish wears away. This process can be accelerated by
removing the protective finish using acetone and a soft cloth. Once the protective finish is
removed, wash the copper bowl thoroughly with soap and water to remove any
remaining residue.
Installation
Atlantic Copper Bowls and Pedestals may be used with a
variety of different reservoirs, including Fountain Basins,
Flexible Fountain Basins, Formal Spillway Basins and the
Eco-Rise System. Regardless of the choice of reservoir
system, follow installation instructions to ensure that
Copper Bowls and Pedestal will be installed on a level,
stable surface, with provisions made for 1½" inlet
plumbing entering from below.
Select and Install Reservoir
Determine where and how your Copper Bowls will be displayed. Follow the installation
instructions included with the basins.
Provide Clearance for Plumbing
Copper 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 Bowl or Pedestal. Copper Fountain and Spillway Bowls may be elevated 8" using the
Pedestal CB16P, providing the necessary clearance and making the plumbing easier to install.
If the Pedestal is not used, Copper 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.
