6. Arrange the rocks provided onto the platform.
7. Attach the A/C adaptor jack to the base power cord. DO NOT plug into outlet at this time.
(Fig. 1)
8. Set the fountain on a level, waterproof surface.
9. Plug the cord into 120V household outlet. The switch located on the power cord controls the
fountain. If pump doesn't operate, rotate in-line switch once to turn "on" and once more to
turn "off". Monthly maintenance will add to your pump's life.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a 'Drip Loop'
(Fig. 6). This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.
Maintenance
• 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 (Fig 7).
• 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.
• To clean off hard water deposits on
the base:
Soak the container 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 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 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 electrical outlet before handling the pump.
• 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.
•If water is splashing outside the fountain:
Rearrange the rocks by moving them away from the edge of the base to an area where they
are not directly hit by the falling water.
