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.

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 5).
• 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 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 fountain in a dry, cool place.
