Maintenance:
• To clean the pump:
Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet. Remove the pump
from the base of the fountain. Use a small brush or stream of water to
remove any debris.
• To keep water clean:
Periodically change the water and clean the product according to
the water condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the water
from becoming sticky and forming micro-organisms. An algaecide
or humidifier/vaporizer treatment can be added to help keep it clean.
• To clean hard water deposits from
the base or rocks:
Soak the base 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 shortening the life of the water pump. Fountain should be
"OFF" when refilling to avoid overflow.
NOTE: Never let the water pump run without water. This will also
shorten the life of the water pump.

• Fountain Storage:

+
from the electrical outlet, empty the water and store in a cool,
dry place.

Troubleshooting:
• If the pump fails to operate, check
the following:
Check the household circuit breaker or plug unit into a different
outlet to make sure the water pump is getting electrical power.
NOTE: Always disconnect the unit from the electrical outlet
before handling the water pump.
Check the water pump discharge and tubing for kinks and
obstructions. Algae build-up can be flushed out in any faucet.
Remove the water pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn
the impeller to ensure it is not broken or jammed.
Monthly maintenance will add to the life of your water pump.
NOTE: Make sure that the electrical cord loops below the elec-
trical outlet to form a "drip loop". This will prevent water from
running down the cord into the electrical outlet (Fig.5).
• If the pump is loud, gurgles, spews,
or "burps":
Check the water level to make sure the water pump has enough
water to function.
NOTE: The pump must be completely submerged in water.
• Obtaining a desired water level:
Check the water level daily in the first week to measure the
rate of evaporation. Refill with water as needed.
• If water is flowing unevenly:
Check to see if the fountain is on a level surface. Then, run fingers
across fountain surface to help spread the water distribution.
