1. Remove the Pump from the Pet Fountain
as explained in the “Pet Fountain
Disassembly and Cleaning” section.
2. Once the Pump is out of the Pet Fountain,
with your thumb and forefinger, gently
squeeze on either side of the Faceplate
and pull it off. It may be necessary to
insert a fingernail into the seam of the
Faceplate to pry it off (
Fig. 11
).
3. Next, you will want to remove the Stator
by placing your finger underneath the
small lip, pull it away from the Pump
(
Fig. 12
).
4. Once the Stator is removed, you can
remove the Impeller (white, 3-bladed
propeller), which is held in place
magnetically. To remove the Impeller, use
a fingernail to get underneath the plastic
blade and lift out (
Fig. 13
).
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
Cleaning Kit to clean inside the Pump’s
motor cavity and remove any build-up
(
Fig. 14
). For added disinfecting and
hard water removal, clean the Pump’s
motor with a diluted white vinegar
solution (20% white vinegar and
80% water).
5. Once the parts are clean you can
reassemble the Pump for use.
a) Replace the Impeller.
b) Replace the Stator.
c) Replace the Faceplate.
