HoMedics EnviraScape Tabletop Relaxation Fountain WFL-ETN - Manual (Page 4)

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 8).
• 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.
Troubleshooting
• If water of rainfall holes fails to flow:
Take off lid and remove cleaning pin. Stick the cleaning pin through holes several times. (Fig. 9)
Then replace lid on top of the fountain.
• If water of rainfall holes fail to flow straight:
Turn off fountain, use absorbent cloth to dry off the top and bottom of rainfall holes. Turn on
fountain. (Repeat if needed until water flows straight.)
• If the pump fails to operate, check the following:
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.
6. Fill base with clean water. Add enough water so that the platform is submerged.
(See embossed line inside the fountain base that represents the water fill line.) (Fig. 6)
7. Attach the A/C adaptor jack to the base power cord. DO NOT plug into outlet at this time.
(Fig. 1)
8. Set the fountain on a level, waterproof surface.
9. Plug the cord into 120V household outlet. The switch located on the power cord controls the
fountain. If pump doesn't operate, rotate in-line switch once to turn “on” and once more to
turn “off”. Monthly maintenance will add to your pump's life.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a 'Drip Loop'
(Fig. 7). This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.
