FOUNTAIN & YOUR ENVIRONMENT
If you live in a humid environment and have problems with mold or algae
(the parts may feel slimy), simply soak all of the plastic parts (excluding
the pump) in a diluted bleach solution for about 10 minutes after regular
cleaning. We recommend using a solution that is 10% bleach and 90%
water. Pour some of the bleach solution down into the pump’s cavity as
well for additional disinfecting. You must be sure to rinse all the parts very
thoroughly to remove all the chlorine. The best way to rinse out the pump’s
cavity is to hold it under a weak stream of water. This is also an excellent
way to disinfect the fountain.
If you have hard water where you live, you may start to see white mineral
deposits on or down inside the pump. This may eventually prevent the
impeller from turning properly. To avoid having to replace the pump:
8) Make sure your hands, the cord and the adaptor are completely dry.
Connect the inline plug to the adaptor and plug the fountain into an
electrical outlet.
