Water fountain flow adjustment

in Problem solving

I have just moved into a new house and the garden has a 3 stainless steel column fountain. Apparently it was put in by the builder as the house was the show home.

My problem is "How do I adjust the flow" one of the columns seems to be given all the pressure while the other two are only trickling in comparison.

I have no instructions - So can anyone help please.

    I would contact the vendor or their solicitors and ask for the operating and maintenance instructions for the fountain. If they don't have them available they should, at the very least, give you contact details for the manufacturer.

    If there is no adjustment and it's been running for a year or more there could be a build-up of crud in the delivery pipework or fountain head possibly, so a good clean out may help if you've not already tried that.

    THERE MUST BE A RESERVOIR HIDDEN UNDERGROUND. THIS SHOULD HAVE A REMOVABLE COVER. PROBABLY WITHIN THE RESERVOIR IS A FLOW ADJUSTER.

    BUT YES, IF IT HASN'T BEEN CLEANED THEN THERE WILL BE QUITE A BIT OF GUNK INSIDE IT.

     Thanks - Sounds like a plan I will set to and have a look inside the reservoir.
