PUMP MAINTENANCE
Remove the faceplate from the pump by inserting a fingernail or
other slim object, into the seam and pull straight out (see Figure 9). 1)
Once the faceplate is removed, the yellow dial that controls the
water flow intensity will become free. Place the faceplate and flow
control dial to the side for cleaning.
Next, remove the stator by positioning your fingernail or other slim
object underneath the tab and pull up, see Figure 10 above.
With the stator removed, reach inside the pump’s cavity and grab
one of the plastic blades on the impeller and lift straight up. The
impeller is held in place magnetically and you will experience a
slight resistance when removing this piece, see Figures 11a & 11b.

Once the pump is completely disassembled, you can clean all
the parts with soap and warm water. Use a cotton swab or the
Drinkwell
® Cleaning Kit Motor Brush to get inside the pump’s
cavity and clean any build-up. For additional disinfecting and hard
water spot removal, clean the motor with a white vinegar and
water solution.
When the parts are clean, reassemble the pump for use:
a) Replace the Impeller
b) Replace the Stator
c) Replace the Flow Control Dial and Faceplate
