PUMP MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the pump is essential to the longevity of the
fountain, as well as the cleanliness of the water.
Clean the pump every 2 weeks.
IMPORTANT: Warranty may be voided if the motor is not cleaned.
Remove the Pre-lter and Housing from the bowl.
Gently lift the pump out of its resting place. Suction cups on
the bottom of the motor will hold it in place. A small amount of
force may be necessary.
Once the pump is out of the fountain, with your thumb and
forenger, gently squeeze on either side of the intake plate,
and pull off. It may be necessary to insert a ngernail into the
seam of the intake plate to pry it off. (Fig. 4a & 4b)
