Operation
The Starburst Fountain has two operation modes to choose from, depending on your
preference:
Continuous Mode: displays a fixed spray pattern
Gradient Mode:
displays a disappearing and reappearing spray.
To change between the two modes, simply unplug the fountain and plug it back in. When
first powered on, the fountain defaults to the Continuous Mode.
Service & Maintenance
Disconnect all power supplies before inspection or service to avoid possible
electrical shock.
1.
Regularly inspect and clean the pump housing to ensure that it is clear of debris or
algae which can reduce the flow.
2.
Be sure the pump housing is closed and properly latched to prevent debris from
entering the pump.
3.
Check the water level daily to ensure the pump remains fully submerged.
4.
If the pump is left in water but not operating regularly, test run it at least once a week.
5.
Once per season the unit should be cleaned of any
debris build-up or mineral deposits on the impeller
assembly and housing. Areas with hard water may
require more frequent cleaning. To access the impeller:
A. Remove the zip tie securing the bottom screen.
B. Gently twist the bottom screen from the pump.
C. Inspect the impeller and chamber.
D. Clean using water and a damp cloth or sponge.
A vinegar mixture may help remove hard deposits
6.
If the impeller is damaged, replace with a new impeller.
7.
Be sure the pump housing is closed and properly latched
before returning to the pond. A zip tie is recommended to
secure the unit.
8.
Winterization/Storage: When the pump is out of use for
extended time - wash and dry it then store indoors in a
non-freezing location. It is essential to prevent any risk
of the pump freezing.
