SEASONAL CLEANING
Every spring and fall drain the basin and replace with fresh water. Vacuum basin if you notice
excess debris that may clog your pump. If your fountain contains an anti-splash mat cover
remove any leaves and debris from it and rinse thoroughly.
WINTERIZING FOUNTAIN
Removing your pump and storing during the winter months is the most important step. We
recommend you dissassemble and clean the pump, placing it in a bucket of water and
storing it in an area that will not freeze. This will helps keep the seals wet and prevent the
impeller from sticking.
