Assembling & Using Your Product
Unpack all components carefully. Please check to ensure all parts have been
removed from the packaging. Some splashing may occur.
Assembling:
Connect the vinyl tubing to the water pump(C). Make sure to feed the
pump cord out the back of the fountain. Adjust the flow control to the
lowest setting to avoid splashing until the fountain is completely
assembled.
Place top of fountain (D) on top of fountain base (E). Make sure that you
align the three holes with on the fountain with the base of the fountain.
Screw three nuts (B) to attach the fountain to the base.
Connect the top faucet piece (F) to the fountain by sliding the bottom of
the tube on the faucet into the tube sticking out of the back of the
fountain. Make sure you slide the screw up through the hole at the top of
the fountain and tighten nut (B).
Gently pour water into the fountain, being careful not to overflow and
cause splashing. Make sure the water completely submerges the pump
and the water flows smoothly during operation.
Plug into your local power supply. Make sure that there is no water
around the transformer and always keep the power source in a dry
place.
NOTE: We recommend that you use distilled water to prevent
scale build-up. The first time you operate the pump it can take
up to 5 minutes for the air to be completely expelled and water
begins to flow properly. Recommended flow control should be
set to 300L per hour.
Troubleshooting & Caution
If you have any questions and/or problems, please contact the retail store you
purchased this fountain.
If your pump fails to run
Check the circuit breaker or try a different outlet to make sure the pump is
receiving electrical power.
Check the pump discharge and tubing for any kinks and/or obstructions
Any buildup obstructing the water flow can be flushed with a garden hose
Check the rotor by removing the front cover & plate to access the impellor area.
Turn the rotor and make sure that the rotor is not jammed or broken
If your pump “spews”
Check the water level to make sure the pump is completely submerged and
there if enough water in the basin to operate your fountain. Not having enough
water will cause your pump to spew
If your pump is making abnormal loud noises
Disconnect the pump from the electrical power supply and remove the front
cover & plate
Carefully grip the impeller and gently pull the impeller/rotor assembly out of the
pump housing
Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and clean the cavity with clean water. If
breakage or damage is found, contact your local retailer for part
