Likely Remedy
Power is off or disconnected
Ensure control panel is connected to the electrical circuit. Verify circuit breakers, timers, and/or
interlock switches are turned on and functional. Refer to your owners manual that was provided with
the fountian.
Not dark enough for photo eye
to activate
C-25 control panel:
The control panel has a photo eye on the left side of the enclosure exterior. This photo eye measures
ambient light. To activate, the photo eye must not measure any ambient light for at least several
minutes. Also, the C-25 timer must be turned on (fountain operating) to allow the light circuit to
energize. Covering the photo eye with black electrical tape will activate the photo eye for testing.
GFCI is tripped
C-25 control panel:
Reset the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset it could be a ground fault in the fountain wiring, or the light
kit wiring. Unplug both the fountain and light kit and reset the GFCI. If it resets, plug fountain then
light kit back in and see which one trips the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset with both unplugged,
then the GFCI may be defective.
Dirty lights
Turn of power to the control panel and disconnect power cords to the fountain and the light kit.
Bring the fountain to the shore and inspect the light lenses. Over time, algae growth and hard water
deposits on the lenses can block light output. Clean the lenses with a soft brush and the light should
be bright again.
LED emitters out
The 8 puck lights have a total of 48 led emitters (6 per puck) to provide an overlapping sphere of
illumination. Over time, you may see a few of the led emitters stop working. If this occurs, the light
kit will continue to work without a noticeable difference in light output. If you have more than a few
emitters failing to illuminate, and it impacts the illumination of your fountain, the 8 puck light
assembly may need to be replaced.

Replacing 8 Puck Lights
If you have purchased a replacement or additional color
kits, you will need to remove the 8 puck lights from the
junction box in order to switch the lights.
1. Remove the puck lights from the float by grabbing the
tabs of the pucks and lift using a peeling motion.
2. Unscrew (counterclockwise) the underwater cord
connector on the junction box.
3. Make sure an orange oring is installed on the cable of
the new 8 puck kit you are attaching to the junction box.

4. See assembly instructions for attaching the new 8 puck
kit to the float. If you removed the cable tie strain relief,
make sure you cable tie the main power cord after the
junction box again.
