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 to the area in the base where they can be hit
directly by falling water.

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 4).
• 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 micro-organisms. We recom-
mend 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.
