How is this fountain powered?

It says there is a cord. And it says you should have an outlet.
But I don't understand how they meet, looking at the picture of the fountain on the grass.

That will come with a small submersible pump. It most likely sits in the large lower bowl.
The cord will pass down thru a sleeve of pipe and come out the open back side of the fountain base.
Maybe be something like this.....
Position the channel opening at the base of each fountain toward the electrical outlet to be used since the pump cord will be threaded through this opening.

You need to supply a GFI protected circuit or receptacle with an in-use cover.
Yes.... it's considered temporary.

How do I install this fountain?
Is the FT 239 J piece simply buried in the soil?

I started looking at the weight of those pieces and could see major weight issues.
Ok.... in re-reading the installation instructions I read this..
Make sure you are assembling your fountain on a level surface capable of holding a minimum of 1434 pounds within a 2.75 square foot footprint.
That's almost 3/4 of a ton. That means you MUST pour a footing and base in the ground for that fountain. It CANNOT sit in bare earth.... even with a little rock under it.

Yes.... that is correct. It's going to take a concrete pad down below frost level.

Why is the information old? You can update it for better information.
I would pour the footer at least 2 or 3" wider to each side of the fountain base and to the frost line in Pennsylvania.
