Assembly and Instructions for Use

Unpack the product. Be sure that all parts listed are included.

1. Insert (C) into opening (1). (Figure 1)
2. Insert (D) into opening (2). (Figure 2)
3. Attach (A) to (D). (Figure 3) Press firmly, but be careful not to break (D).
4. Insert (B) into opening (3). (Figure 4)

5. Fill FOUNTAIN BASE (K) with enough clean water to completely cover the WATER PUMP (F). Use the Fill Line as a guide. (Figure 5)
6. Place RIVER ROCKS (J) as desired on (A), (B) and (C), as well as in the FOUNTAIN BASE. (Figure 6)
7. Attach the ADAPTER (I) to the POWER CORD (G).
8. Plug the cord into 120V household outlet. The fountain is controlled by an ON/OFF SWITCH (H) located on the POWER CORD (G). If WATER PUMP (F) does not operate, rotate in-line switch once to turn “ON” and once to turn “OFF”.

NOTE: Ensure that the POWER CORD loops below the electrical outlet to form a “Drip Loop”. This will prevent water from running down the POWER CORD into the electrical outlet. (Figure 7)

Maintenance

• To clean the pump:
  Unplug from the electrical outlet. Disassemble the fountain and remove the 2 screws at the top of the Pump Cover (E) using a Phillips head screwdriver. Grasp the Water Supply Hole and gently lift the Pump Cover to gain access to the Pump. Remove the Pump Cover at the Water Supply Connector. Use a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris (Figure 8).
  CAUTION: All servicing of this fountain must be performed by authorized HoMedics service personnel only.

• To keep the water clean:
  Periodically change the water and clean the product according to the water condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the water from becoming sticky and forming micro-organisms. We recommend distilled water to prevent mineral build up.

• To clean off hard water deposits on the base or rocks:
  Soak the container and rocks in a mixture of vinegar and water to clean and remove any mineral build-up.

• Keeping the water at an optimum level:
  Add water periodically to keep the water level at an optimum level to avoid shortening the life of the pump.
  NOTE: Never let the pump run dry, as this will shorten the life of the pump.

• Fountain Storage
  Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet, empty the water, and store rocks and the fountain in a dry, cool place.

Troubleshooting

• If the pump fails to operate, check the following:
  Check the circuit breaker, or try a different outlet to make sure the pump is getting electrical power. NOTE: Always disconnect from the electrical outlet before handling the pump.
  Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions. Algae build-up can be flushed out with a garden hose.
  Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the rotor to ensure it is not broken or jammed.
  NOTE: Monthly maintenance will add to your pump’s life.

• If the pump gurgles, spews, or “burps”:
  Check the water level to make sure the pump has enough water to function.

• Obtaining the desired water level:
  Check the water level daily the first week to measure the rate of evaporation; refill
  with water as needed.

• If water is splashing outside the fountain:
  Stones that are hit by water and also touch the edge of the base will cause water to splash outside of the base and contribute to the splash factor. Expect some splash to occur as you get the stones organized.
  If splash continues, rearrange the stones by moving them away from the edge of the base and/or adjust the Flow Control Lever to a lower setting. To access the Flow Control Lever, located on the backside of the pump, follow the instructions to clean the pump located on the previous page. The Flow Control Lever controls the pump speed. The speed is indicated by a plus (+) and minus (-) sign. To increase the speed, move the switch in the direction of the plus sign. At its highest speed level, the switch will cease to move any further. To decrease the pump speed, move the switch toward the minus sign. Similarly, at its lowest speed, the switch will cease to move any further (Figure 9). NOTE: It is recommended the pump be set at its highest speed and later adjusted to a lower setting if desired. Be sure to unplug the pump before adjusting the speed setting.

ATTENTION: In order to get the best results, please operate the pump completely submerged. Keep the water level above the minimum water level ALL THE TIME.
