HoMedics WFL-GDN Maintenance, Troubleshooting, If the pump gurgles, spews, or “burps”

6.Arrange the rocks provided onto the platform.

7.Attach the A/C adaptor jack to the base power cord. DO NOT plug into outlet at this time. (Fig. 1)

8.Set the fountain on a level, waterproof surface.

9.Plug the cord into 120V household outlet. The switch located on the power cord controls the fountain. If pump doesn't operate, rotate in-line switch once to turn “on” and once more to turn “off”. 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' (Fig. 6). This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.

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 7).

• To keep water clean:

Periodically change water and clean the product according

to the water condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the Drip Loop water from becoming sticky and forming micro-organisms.

We recommend distilled water to prevent mineral build-up.

•To clean off hard water deposits on the base:

Soak the container 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 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.

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.

• 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:

Rearrange the rocks by moving them away from the edge of the base to an area where they are not directly hit by the falling water.
