• If water of rainfall holes fail to flow:
Take off the lid and remove cleaning pin. Take cleaning pin
and stick through holes several times (Fig 5). When finished
snap cleaning pin into place and replace lid.
• 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. N O T E : 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 valve to a lower setting on the pump.

• 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:
Clean 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 and to
avoid shortening the life of the pump. N O T E : Never let the pump run dry.
• Fountain Storage
Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet, empty the water,
and store in a dry, cool place. To store the provided cleaning pin
lift fountain lid and snap into clip (Fig. 4).
