1) Remove the pump from the fountain as explained in the Filters and
Fountain Cleaning section (Steps 6 & 7).
2) Remove the faceplate by using your thumb and forefinger to gently
squeeze on both sides of the plate and pull off. It may be necessary to
insert a fingernail or other slim object into the seam of the faceplate to
pry it off.
3) Next, remove the stator by placing your fingernail underneath the small
lip located on the narrow side of teardrop-shaped stator (Fig. 12) and
pull out to remove (Fig. 13).
Cleaning the pump is essential to the longevity of the fountain as well as the
cleanliness of the water. Clean the pump every 2 weeks.
