• 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 6).
• To keep water clean:
Periodically change water and clean the product according to the water condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the water from becoming sticky and forming
• 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.
N O T E : 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 w a t e r, and store in a dry, cool place.

• If water of rainfall holes fails to flow:
Take off the top, and remove the cleaning pin. Take the cleaning pin and stick through holes several times (Fig 5). Then replace the top cover.
• 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. N O T E : 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 under a heavy faucet.
Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the rotor to ensure it is not broken or jammed (Fig 6).
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.
