PUMP MAINTENANCE
Remove the faceplate from the pump by inserting a fingernail or other slim
object, into the seam and pull straight out, see Figure 10.
1)
Once the faceplate is removed, the yellow dial that controls the water flow
intensity will become free. Place the faceplate and flow control dial to the side for
cleaning.
Next, remove the stator by positioning your fingernail or other slim object
underneath the tab and pull up, see Figure 11 above.
With the stator removed, reach inside the pump’s cavity and grab one of the
plastic blades on the impeller and lift straight up. The impeller is held in place
magnetically and you will experience a slight resistance when removing this
piece, see Figures 12a & 12b.

Once the pump is completely disassembled, you can clean all the parts with
soap and warm water. Use a cotton swab or the Drinkwell
®
Cleaning Kit Motor
Brush to get inside the pump’s cavity and clean any build-up. For additional
disinfecting and hard water spot removal, clean the motor with a white vinegar
and water solution.
When the parts are clean, reassemble the pump for use:
a) Replace the Impeller
b) Replace the Stator
c) Replace the Flow Control Dial and Faceplate

FOUNTAIN REASSEMBLY
Check the flow control dial make sure the dial is positioned at the desired flow
rate. When the yellow tab is closest to the “+” sign, the pump is set at maximum
flow. When the yellow tab is closest to the “-” sign, the pump is set at its lowest
flow (see images below).
1)
Replace the pump between the four posts on the bottom of the bowl with the
suction cups face down. Feed the electrical cord through the opening on the
inside of the bowl. Insert the two prongs into the adaptor and re-thread the
plastic locking collar onto the adaptor, until no threads show. See Figures
13a & 13b.
2)
With the pump in place and suctioned to the bowl, replace the foam filter in its
original position. See Page 5 of this operating guide for exact placement.
Next, affix the Outflow Tube to the bottom of the housing by aligning the notch
in the Outlfow Tube flange with the alignment casting on the housing. Be sure
Outflow Tube alignment flange is completely seated against the bottom of the
housing.
If the housing lid was removed during cleaning, replace and then proceed to the
next step.
Replace the housing by lining up behind the spillway flaps, and aligning the left
and right sides of the housing with the bowl.
Rinse the charcoal filter under cold water to remove any loose charcoal dust.
Insert the filter narrow side down with the black side facing out towards the bowl.
The filter will slide easily into place, but make sure it is pushed all the way down.
Place the fountain in a desired location. The Everflow Fountain is intended for
year-round indoor household use or seasonal outdoor use. Do not operate the
fountain in temperatures below 40° F/4.4° C. Be sure the electrical cord comes
out through the cord notch at the back of the fountain, so that it sits level on
the floor.
