Maintenance
• To clean the pump:
Unplug from electrical outlet. Remove it from the base of the fountain. Use a
small brush or stream of water to remove any debris (Fig 9).
• To keep water clean:
Periodically change water and clean the product according to the water con-
dition. Keeping the water clean prevents the water from becoming sticky and
forming micro-organisms.
• To clean off hard water deposits on
the base or rocks:
Soak the container and rocks in a mixture of vinegar and water to clean and
remove any mineral build-up .
• Keeping the water at an optimum level:
Add water periodically to keep water level at an optimum level to avoid short-
ening the life of the pump.
NOTE: Never let the pump run dry, as this will shorten the life of the pump.
• Fountain storage
Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet, empty the water, and store
rocks and fountain in a dry, cool place.
• Changing light bulb
First, unplug fountain and let bulb cool down. Remove the bulb from the rub-
ber plug of the plastic tube. Pull the rubber plug together with the bulb cover
out from the plastic light tube and slowly pull apart .Use caution with glass

Troubleshooting
• If the pump fails to operate, check
the following:
Check the circuit breaker, or try a different outlet to make
sure the pump is getting electrical power. NOTE: Always
Caution:
disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.

personnel only.
Monthly maintenance will add to your pump's life.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the
electrical outlet to form a 'Drip Loop'. This will prevent water
from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.
• If the pump gurgles, spews, or "burps":
Check the water level to make sure the pump has enough
water to function.
• Obtaining a desired water level:
Check the water level daily the first week to measure the rate
of evaporation; refill with water as needed.
• If water is splashing outside
the fountain:
Rocks that are hit by water and also touch the edge of the
base will cause water to splash outside of the base and
contribute to the splash factor. Expect some splash to occur
as you get the rocks organized.
If splash continues, adjust the flow control valve to a
lower setting, and/or rearrange the river rocks by moving
them away from the edge of the base.
