Maintenance; Troubleshooting - HoMedics WF-LILY Instruction Manual And Warranty

MAINTENANCE:

1
. To keep water clean:
Periodically change 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.
2. To clean off hard water deposits on the base:
Use a mixture of vinegar and water to clean and remove any mineral
build-up on the base and pump.
3. Keeping the water at an optimum level:
Add water periodically to keep water level at an optimum level and to
avoid shortening the life of the pump. NOTE: Never let the pump run
dry.
4. Fountain Storage
Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet, empty the water, let
the fountain dry completely, and store in a dry, cool place.
5 To clean the pump:
Unplug from electrical outlet. Remove it from the base of the
-
fountain. Use a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris

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 electrical outlet
before handling the pump.
Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions. Algae
build-up can be flushed out.
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 a desired water level:
Check the water level daily the first week to measure the rate of
evaporation; refill with water as needed.
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.
