Troubleshooting Guide

If the pump does not operate…

1. Check to make sure the pump is connected to a power source.
2. 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…

1. Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. Add water as needed.
2. Check the supply tube for any kinks or folds and correct them.

If the pump operates, but there is no water flow the pump is fully submerged and the supply tubing has no kinks…

1. Disconnect the pump from the power source.
2. Disconnect the supply tube from the pump outlet.
3. Check for clogs or holes and clean the tubing inside and outside if necessary.
4. Check for clogs and clean the pump inlets and outlet if necessary.
5. Place the pump back into the water outlet side up and then re-connect the pump to the power source.
6. Once the water begins to flow from the pump, re-connect the supply tubing to the pump outlet.
7. 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…

1. 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…

1. 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 it for wear. If the rotor spins freely from the magnetic body, the impeller assembly is worn and needs to be replaced.
   Contact customer service for replacement parts.

If the pump starts to make noise…

1. 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.
2. 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 that causes the noise.

If the water starts to foam…

1. 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.
2. 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…

1. Gently sweep across the water surface to achieve even water flow across the face of the fountain.
2. 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 04 water flow all around.
