THE FOUNTAIN AND 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 parts in a diluted bleach solution for
about 10 minutes after regular cleaning. We recommend using one or two cups of
bleach in a sink full of water (Solution: 10% Bleach/90% Water). Pour some of the
bleach solution down into the motor cavity as well. This is also an excellent way to
disinfect the fountain.
MAKE SURE TO THOROUGHLY RINSE ALL THE PARTS
WITH FRESH WATER
TO REMOVE THE BLEACH SOLUTION.
The best way to
rinse out the motor cavity is to hold it under a weak stream of water.
If you have “hard water” 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:
A. Clean the pump more frequently than you have in the past; or
B. Clean with regular white vinegar and let the vinegar soak for
several minutes down inside the cavity; or
C. Use bottled water.
