THE FOUNTAIN AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT
If you live in a humid environment and have problems with mold or algae, 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 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.
