Priming the Water Pump
If you
fi
nd the water pump is running, but water is not
fl
owing from your fountain,
you can try priming the water pump:
Detach the water pump from the feeder tube inside the fountain.
When removing the water pump, use caution when pulling the pump from the feeder
tube. Pinch the bottom of the feeder tube close to the pump with one hand and then
pull the water pump from the feeder tube with your other hand.
Step 1: Submerge the wa-
ter pump into the water in-
side the reservoir and lightly
shake the pump underwater
to release air bubbles in-
side the vents on the water
pump.
Step 2: Turn the fountain on
and you should see water
fl
owing from the pump. Let
the pump run for about ten
seconds and then turn your
fountain off.
Step 3: Reconnect the water
pump to the feeder tube in-
side the fountain.
