Troubleshooting

• If the pump fails to operate, check the follow-

ing:

Check the circuit breaker, or try a different outlet to make
sure the pump is
getting electrical power.

NOTE: Always disconnect from electrical outlet before

handling the pump.

• If the pump gurgles, spews, or “burps”:

Check the water level to make sure the pump has enough
water to function.

•Obtaining a desired water level:

Check the water level daily the first week to measure the
rate of evaporation;
refill with water as needed.

•If water is splashing outside the fountain:

Adjust the flow control lever to a lower setting on the pump.

Caution: All
servicing of this
fountain must be
performed by
authorized
HoMedics service
personnel only.

Maintenance

• To clean the pump:

Unplug from electrical outlet. Remove it from the base of the fountain.
Use a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris. (Fig 7)

• To keep water clean:

Periodically change water and clean the product according to the water
condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the water from becoming
sticky and forming micro-organisms. We recommend distilled water to
prevent mineral build-up.

• To clean off hard water deposits on the base:

Soak the container in a mixture of vinegar and water to clean and
remove any mineral build-up.

• Keeping the water at an optimum level:

Add water periodically to keep water level at an optimum level to avoid
shortening the life of the pump.

NOTE: Never let the pump run dry, as this will shorten

the life of the pump.

• Fountain Storage

Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet, empty the water, and store
fountain in a dry, cool place.
