The Jeco 3 Pots with Pattern Fountain (SKU# FCL022 / 15030034) is a decorative water feature designed for both aesthetic appeal and ease of use. This fountain consists of three pots arranged in a tiered structure, creating a cascading water flow. The design incorporates a pattern on the pots, adding to its visual charm.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to create a soothing and visually appealing water display. Water is circulated from a bottom basin up to the top pot via a pump and then flows downwards through the subsequent pots, creating a continuous cascade. This process not only adds a calming ambiance to any space but also helps to humidify the air. The fountain is designed for continuous operation, providing a constant water flow as long as it is properly maintained and connected to a power source.

Important Technical Specifications:

The fountain assembly includes three main components:

A. Top Pot: This is the uppermost pot in the tiered structure, where the water initially emerges before cascading down.
B. Bottom: This refers to the main basin at the base of the fountain, which collects the water and houses the pump. It is crucial for maintaining the water level for the pump's operation.
C. Pump: This is the electrical component responsible for circulating the water from the bottom basin to the top pot. It is designed to be fully submerged in water for proper functioning.

While specific power ratings for the pump are not provided in the manual, it is indicated that the pump requires connection to a GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. This is a critical safety feature, as GFCI outlets are designed to protect against electrical shock in wet environments by quickly shutting off power if an electrical fault is detected. The fountain is manufactured in China.

Usage Features:

The assembly process for the Jeco 3 Pots with Pattern Fountain is straightforward, involving four key steps:

Step 1: Routing the Water Hose: The pre-assembled water hose from the top pot (A) needs to be routed down to the bottom basin (B). This ensures that the water can be effectively delivered from the pump to the top of the fountain.
Step 2: Attaching the Pump: The pump (C) is carefully attached to the end of the water hose. It is essential to place the pump securely in the center of the bottom basin (B) to ensure stable operation and proper water intake.
Step 3: Filling the Basin: The basin (B) must be filled with clean water. It is crucial that the pump (C) is fully submerged in the water for it to operate correctly and prevent damage. A specific note advises that the maximum water level should be approximately 1.2 inches below the top edge of the basin (B). This prevents overflow and excessive splashing.
Step 4: Connecting to Power: Finally, the pump's plug (C) is connected to a GFCI outlet. This step activates the fountain, initiating the water circulation.

Maintenance Features:

Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the fountain, as well as to prevent potential issues:

Leak and Splashing Checks: After the initial setup, it is highly recommended to check for any leaks or excessive splashing. This is crucial to prevent water damage to the surrounding areas. The manual suggests placing the fountain in an area where potential water damage would not be a concern.
Supervised Operation: The fountain should not be left running for extended periods when no one is present to observe its performance. This helps in promptly identifying and addressing any operational issues like leaks or pump malfunctions.
Regular Leakage Checks: Regularly checking the area around the fountain for any signs of leakage is important for ongoing prevention of water damage.
No Movement When Filled: A critical safety and maintenance instruction is to avoid attempting to move the fountain once it has been filled with water. Moving a water-filled fountain can be difficult, potentially leading to spills, damage to the fountain, or injury.
Pump Disconnection Warning: A significant safety warning is provided: always disconnect the pump (C) from the power source before placing hands in the water. This prevents the risk of electrical shock during maintenance or adjustments.
