you can try priming the water pump:

Remove the fountain bowl by turning the bowl a quarter turn couter clockwise and then
lift. You can now rest the fountain bowl on its side.
Now detach the water pump from the feeder tube inside the fountain bowl.
When removing the water pump, use caution when pulling the pump from the
feeder tube. Pinch the bottom of the feeder tube close to the pump with one hand
and then pull the water pump from the feeder tube with your other hand.
Step 1: Submerge the water
pump into the water inside
the large bowl and lightly
shake the pump underwa-
ter to release air bubbles
inside the vents on the water
pump.
Step 2: Turn the fountain on
and you should see water
owing from the pump. Let
the pump run for about ten
seconds and then turn your
fountain off.
Step 3: Reconnect the water
pump to the feeder tube
inside the fountain bowl and
