Usage Features:

• Easy Assembly: No tools are required for assembly. The process involves unpacking, placing the pump, connecting the water supply tube and LED connector to the pump, securing the fountain top to the base, and placing the birds into their designated slots.

• Decorative Elements: Includes 7 bronze birds that can be placed into slots on top of the fountain, adding to its aesthetic design.
• Water Flow Control: The pump typically has a flow control switch, which should be set to maximum (+) initially and can be adjusted downward to the desired level once flow is established.
• Placement Recommendations: Should be placed on a flat, level surface. It is highly recommended to place the fountain in an area where it cannot be damaged by potential leaks or excessive splashing.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Do not leave the fountain running for extended periods unsupervised.
  • Do not add harmful chemicals to the water as it may alter the finish.
  • Do not use the electrical plug in wet weather conditions.
  • Ensure the pump is fully submerged during operation; never let it run dry.

  • For portable self-contained fountains no larger than 5 feet in any dimension.

Maintenance Features:

• Regular Water Level Checks: Check the water level regularly to ensure the pump is fully submerged. Add clean water periodically, but always disconnect the pump from the power source before adding water.
• Weekly Water Refresh: Refresh the fountain with clean water each week to maintain good condition and reduce mineral deposits.
• Periodic Cleaning: Clean the fountain periodically to prevent mineral deposits and contamination. Use warm soapy water and a stiff brush for heavily stained surfaces. Harsh chemicals should not be used as they can damage the finish and void the warranty.

  • Clean the inside of the pump, inlet screen, impeller housing, and impeller in warm soapy water using a soft cloth or brush.
  • Reassemble the pump and inspect for proper operation.
  • Failure to clean the pump can lead to overheating and void the warranty.
• Winterization/Storage: If installed outdoors in a freeze-prone area, ensure all water is removed and the unit is completely dry before freezing temperatures. Disconnect power and empty the basin if the fountain will not be used for an extended time.
• Pre-filter Use: Use a pre-filter on the pump if available to help keep the water clean.
• Power Cord Inspection: Inspect the power cord for damage before installation or maintenance. Replace the entire pump if damage is found.
