Pump Maintenance
Note:
Cleaning the pump is essential to the longevity of the fountain, as well as the
cleanliness of the water. Clean the pump every two weeks. Warranty may be voided if the
pump’s motor is not cleaned regularly.
1. Remove pump from the fountain as explained in the
“Fountain Disassembly and Cleaning” section.
2. Remove the faceplate by using your thumb and
forefinger to gently squeeze on both sides of the
faceplate and pull off. It may be necessary to insert
a fingernail into the seam of the faceplate to pry it off
(
Fig. 15).
3. Next, remove the stator by placing your fingernail
underneath the small lip located on the narrow side
of teardrop-shaped stator (
Fig. 16) and pull out to
remove.
4. Once the stator is removed, remove the impeller
(white, 3-bladed propeller). The impeller is held in
place by a magnet, simply use a fingernail to get
underneath a blade and lift out (
Fig. 17).
5. Once the pump is completely disassembled, you
can clean the parts with warm water and soap.
Use a cotton swab or the “motor brush” from the
Drinkwell
®
Cleaning Kit to clean inside the pump’s
motor cavity and remove any build-up (
Fig. 18).
For added disinfecting and hard water removal,
clean the pump’s motor with a diluted white vinegar
solution (20% white vinegar and 80% water).
6. Once the parts are clean you can reassemble the
pump for use.
a) Replace the impeller.
b) Replace the stator.
c) Replace the faceplate.
