Assembly Instructions
See pages 6-8 for an Exploded Drawing, List of Product Parts, and a Step-by- Step illustration of the assembly.
-
Unpack the contents of the box.
-
Assemble the fountain on a surface that will not be damaged by water.
-
Please place the pump upright into the basin and draw the pump power cord out through the opening at the back of the fountain.
-
Add clean water to the lowest bowl (basin) of the fountain. The water level should be approximately 1 in / 25 mm below the top of the opening at the back of the basin where the water circulates from.
-
Connect the pump to a GFCI outlet and the product will begin to function as intended.
-
If the water flow is higher or lower than desired, adjust the regulator dial/slide on the front of the pump, (+) to increase the water flow or (-) to decrease the water flow.
-
The LED lights are preassembled, but they are replaceable. When replacing them, please refer to Steps 1 and 2.
-
To eliminate the possibility of water damage around your fountain, check for leaks and excessive splashing after the initial setup of your fountain.
It is highly recommended to place the fountain in an area where it cannot cause damage due to excessive splashing. -
Do not leave your fountain running for extended periods of time when no one is present to observe the performance.
-
Check the area around your fountain on a regular basis to ensure that there is no leakage.
Important Safety Instructions
PUMP
CAUTIONS
- To avoid the risk of electric shock from the pump, observe the following cautions:
- This pump is intended to be used with water only.
- Do not use the pump in water exceeding 86°F / 30°C.
- Do not use the pump in flammable liquids.
- Do not use the pump for industrial purposes.
- Do not use the pump in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft or swimming pools.
- Do not use the pump in location where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapor or gas).
- Do not let the pump run dry. Pump must be completely submerged for proper operation and cooling.
- Do not lift the pump by its power cord.
- Keep the plug dry. Do not expose the plug to water or steam.
- Before connecting to the power source, make sure that the pump is assembled and completely submerged in water.
- Always disconnect the pump from the power source before performing any maintenance on the pump, lights (if equipped), or fountain.
- Do not exceed the voltage shown on the pump.
- Check the water level regularly to ensure the pump is completely submerged during operation.
- Do not add water while operating the product. Always disconnect the pump from the power source before adding water.
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, this pump is equipped with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug.
- Be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Use only portable self-contained fountains no larger than 5 ft / 1.52 min any dimension.
- If equipped with a 3-prong, grounded-type plug, do not remove the grounding pin from the plug on the power cord.
Care and Maintenance
Water:
- Distilled water is always recommended to fill your fountain, or filtered water if distilled is not an option. (Tap water may contain minerals and chemicals that may build up and leave residue.)
- Check the water level regularly to make sure the pump is completely submerged during operation. This ensures proper cooling and prevents overheating of the pump. In summer months or in dry, hot climates, water will evaporate very quickly. The size of the fountain will also impact the rate of evaporation — the larger the fountain, the quicker water will evaporate.
Cleaning Frequency:
- Regular cleaning of your fountain and pump will depend on where it is located. When the fountain or pump is visibly soiled, or there is a decrease in performance, please follow the care and maintenance tips below. Failure to clean and maintain the pump will result in overheating.
- Keep the fountain water and pump clean and clear of debris. Remove any leaves or other debris every other day.
- Clean your fountain monthly to prevent mineral buildup and contamination, which may clog the pump. (This frequency may vary depending on where your fountain is located.)
- Water treatments that prevent algae growth and mineral deposits and pre-filters that prevent clogging by leaves or debris are available at your local home and garden stores. Do not use bleach as it may be harmful to pets and wildlife and may damage your fountain.
- Disconnect the pump from its power source and empty the water from the fountain. (Do not tip the fountain to empty the water — use a siphon pump or small bucket.) Use any gentle household cleanser and a soft brush or cloth to clean the fountain. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives, or rough scrubbing which may damage the finish of your fountain.
Cleaning the Pump:
Disassemble the pump by removing the filter and regulator/impeller plate.
Remove the impeller/rotor assembly by gently pulling on the impeller blades.
Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the area inside the pump housing. Clean the
filter, gland, and impeller in warm, soapy water. Reassemble the pump and
inspect it for proper operation.
Operation:
- Although it is not required, pumps generally last longer if left running continuously, reducing wear and tear from starting and stopping. Be sure to keep the fountain ¾ full of water.
- If mosquitoes are a problem in your area, it is recommended to run the fountain as much as possible to prevent standing water, where mosquitoes breed. You may also add a few drops of anti-mosquito water treatment to the fountain water. (Also available at local home and garden stores.)
- If the fountain is not in use for an extended period, disconnect the power and empty the fountain.
- Do not operate the fountain in temperatures below 41°F / 5°C to prevent frost damage. During winter months, before the temperatures drop, disconnect the power, drain the fountain, and store it in a heated area. If the fountain is stored outdoors, disconnect the power, drain the fountain, and remove the pump and any lights. Once completely dry, cover the fountain with a tarpaulin.
Prevention:
- Place the fountain in a location that it won’t be susceptible to damage, or where splashes and potential leaks will not cause damage to the surrounding area.
- Check for leaks and monitor the fountain for excessive splashing after initial installation on a regular basis.
- If the fountain develops a leak or a visible crack is detected, plastic epoxy or Clear Silicone II sealant may be used. Turn the pump off, fill the fountain, and let the water sit for one week. The crack will appear white. Empty the fountain and seal the crack with plastic epoxy or Clear Silicone II sealant. (Also available at local home and garden stores.) Wait for the sealant to dry before refilling the fountain and using it again.
Non-Solar Lighting:
Your fountain may be connected to an outdoor-rated outlet timer to activate the lights during nighttime hours. Please note on some models, the lights do not operate separately from the pump, so when the lights are on, the pump is on, and vice versa.
Troubleshooting Guide
If the pump does not operate…
- Check to make sure the pump is connected to a power source.
- Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. Add water as needed.
If the pump operates, but, there is no water flow…
- Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. Add water as needed.
- Check the supply tube for any kinks or folds and correct.
If the pump operates, but there is no water flow and the pump is fully submerged and the supply tubing has no kinks…
- Disconnect the pump from the power source.
- Disconnect the supply tube from the pump outlet.
- Check for clogs or holes and clean the tubing inside and outside if necessary.
- Check for clogs and clean the pump inlets and outlet if necessary.
- Place the pump back into the water outlet side up and then re-connect the pump to the power source.
- Once the water begins to flow from the pump, re-connect the supply tubing to the pump outlet.
- Check for any air trapped in the water supply tube which may prevent the pump from working.
If the pump runs with low or high water circulation…
- Check and adjust the regulator dial or slide on the front of the pump. Adjust the dial/slide towards (+) to increase water flow or towards (-) to decrease water flow.
If the pump operates, but the water flow is uneven or non existent and the pump makes noise…
- Check the impeller assembly for wear. Remove the front cover and regulator/impeller plate and remove the impeller assembly. Clean the impeller assembly and inspect for wear. If the rotor spins freely from the magnetic body, the impeller assembly is worn and needs to replaced. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
If the pump starts to make noise…
- Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. If the water level drops below the pump intake, it may suck in air and cause the noise or the pump to completely stop working.
- Move the pump away from the sides of the basin or place a piece of foam or sponge underneath the pump to isolate any vibration which causes the noise.
If the water starts to foam…
- Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. If the water level drops below the pump intake, it may suck in air and cause the pump to ‘spit’ and foam the water.
- Add a few drops of anti-foaming water treatment, available at your local home and garden store, to the fountain water.
If the water flow is uneven…
- Gently sweep across the water surface to achieve even water flow across the face of the fountain.
- Check the top of the basin to ensure it is level. If not, shim the basin from the bottom until the top spillway is level or has achieved even water flow all around.
