Product Usage Instructions

Setting Up the Fountain:

1. Remove the cap from the tube in the base and set it aside for later.
2. Run the cable from the pump through the tube, pull it through the notch in the base until you see the tag “STOP HERE,” then replace the cap.
3. Insert the hose connector into the pump body.

Attaching Tubing to the Pump:

1. Carefully lift the tower with two people and hold it at an angle. Slide the tube to the pump connector.
2. Insert the plug from the light into the socket on the pump and tighten the cap until it is firmly seated.

Filling with Water:
Due to evaporation, clean water must be added periodically. The time between adding water can vary based on humidity and temperature in your region.

Positioning the Fountain:

1. Lift the base to the edge, place the pump, and then straighten the tower.
2. While at an angle, place the pump in the water on the floor of the base. After placing the pump, straighten the tower into position.
3. If the surface under the base is uneven, use the shims included to level the fountain. Insert a shim on the opposite side where water is not flowing. Once positioned, break off the excess shim at the notch.

Decorating with Stones:
Carefully spread out the decorative stones on the tower surface to enhance the fountain’s appearance.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Please lay out all parts before assembly or installation. Read instructions before assembly or installation.

IMPORTANT: Our fountain has been designed for easy assembly. It should take a team of two people less than one hour to assemble.
FOR OUTDOOR HOME USE ONLY
While installing, keep children and pets out of reach. Remember to make sure the plug is dry and clean before inserting into the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS-RISK OF SHOCK

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only on portable self-contained fountains no larger than 5 feet in any dimension.

• The National Electric Code requires that a ground fault interrupter circuit (GFCI) be installed in every branch circuit supplying the fountain or pond equipment. Do not immerse the plug in water. DO NOT REACH INTO THE WATER TO REMOVE THE PLUG. TURN OFF THE CIRCUIT FIRST.

• A “drip loop” in the cords should be used. A “drip loop” is a loop in the cord below the level of the receptacle or plug that prevents water from travelling along the cord
  WARNING: FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING.

• DO NOT REACH, REMOVE, OR DISASSEMBLE THE PUMP BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT THE POWER.

CAUTION

• This pump has been evaluated for use with fresh water only.
• Use a proper power source as indicated on the pump label.
• Keep the cord away from high temperatures or other heat sources.
• Do not pump heated liquids.
• Avoid heavily chlorinated water and water with high pH levels.
• Do not lift the pump by its power cord.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove cap and run plug from pump through tube in base.
2. Replace cap, and insert hose connector to pump.
3. The attachment of tubing to pump.
4. Fill with water.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Regular cleaning of the pump may be necessary depending upon the environment in which it is operated. Clean the pump and the impeller assembly when it is visibly soiled or when a drop in performance is detected.
• Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
• Disassemble the pump cover and remove the impeller cover to expose the impeller assembly. Remove the impeller assembly by gently pulling on the impeller blades. Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of the impeller housing.
• Remove all parts from the pump and clean in warm, soapy water.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the pump fails to operate:

• Check the circuit breaker and try another outlet to ensure the pump is getting electrical power.
• Check the pump outlet and tubing for kinks or obstructions. Algae build-up can be flushed out with a Garden hose.
• Check the bottom of pump to confirm that the intake screen it is not clogged with debris.
• Remove the front cover, and impeller cover to expose the impeller. Turn the impeller to ensure that it is not broken or jammed.

If the performance of the pump is not satisfactory or the pump does not flow evenly:

• Check to make sure the impeller assembly, water sensor, and the front cover are clean.
• Adjust flow control knob as needed.

RELACEMENT PARTS LIST

WINTERIZATION AND STORAGE

DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO FREEZE IN THE FOUNTAIN OR PUMP:

• If fountain is used in areas with harsh winters where temperatures can drop below freezing even for short periods of time, it is recommended that all water be removed from the fountain during the cold months.
• Also remove the pump by disconnecting from the hose. Clean the pump with plain water and dry it thoroughly before storing the pump in a temperature-controlled atmosphere (above freezing).
• If pump is removed, clean it with fresh water and dry it thoroughly before storing it. It is strongly recommended to clean the impeller assembly and chamber before storing.
