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 disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions. Algae build up can be flushed
out with a garden hose.
Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the rotor to ensure it is not broken or
jammed.
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.
CAUTION:
All servicing of this fountain must be performed by authorized HoMedics
service personnel only.
ATTENTION:
In order to get best results, please operate pump completely submerged.
Keep the water level above the minimum water level ALL THE TIME.
