bladed propeller) which is held in place magnetically. To remove the
impeller use a fingernail to get under the plastic blade and lift out.

can clean the parts with warm soapy
water. Use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) or
the Drinkwell

Cleaning Kit “Motor
Brush” to get into the motor cavity
and remove any build-up. For added
disinfecting and hard water removal,
clean the motor with a white vinegar
& water solution. Strengthen the
solution by increasing the amount of
white vinegar used. Be sure to rinse
thoroughly with fresh water.

a) Replace the impeller.
b) Replace the stator.

2) Once the motor is out of the fountain, with your thumb and forefinger,
gently squeeze on either side of the intake plate and pull off. It may be
necessary to insert a fingernail into the seam of the intake plate to pry
it off.
