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.
