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 4).
• 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.
• To clean off hard water deposits on
the base or rocks:
Soak the container and rocks 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
rocks and fountain in a dry, cool place.
• Changing light bulb
First, unplug fountain and let bulb cool down. Remove the bulb from the
rubber plug of the plastic light tube. Pull the rubber plug together with the
bulb cover out from the plastic light tube and slowly pull apart (Fig. 6). Be
gentle with bulb cover since it is glass. Insert the rubber plug back into
the plastic light tube. Now pull bulb straight out from rubber neck (Fig. 7).
Replace with new bulb, inserting prongs into the holes. Place bulb cover
securely onto rubber neck and slide together into rubber plug of plastic
light tube.

personnel only.
Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the
rotor to ensure it is not broken or jammed.
Monthly maintenance will add to your pump's life.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the elec-
trical outlet to form a 'Drip Loop'. This will prevent water from
running down the cord into the electrical outlet.
• 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:
Rocks that are hit by water and also touch the edge of the
base will cause water to splash outside of the base and con-
tribute to the splash factor. Expect some splash to occur as
you get the rocks organized.
If splash continues, adjust the flow control valve to a
lower setting, and/or rearrange the river rocks by moving
them away from the edge of the base.
