6. Fill lower basin, from the front of the fountain, with approx. 96 oz. of water. (Fig. 5)
NOTE: We recommend using distilled water to help prevent mineral build-up.
7. Place the cover on the support tabs of the base. (Fig. 6)
8. Attach the A/C adaptor jack to the pump power cord. DO NOT plug into outlet at this
time. (Fig. 1)
9. Set the fountain on a level, waterproof surface.
OPTIONAL: To help prevent the fountain from tipping over, use the bracket located
on the back of the fountain to secure it in a sitting position using a nail or a hook.
IMPORTANT: Fountain must sit on a flat surface, DO NOT HANG FOUNTAIN
ON WALL.
10.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.
At first, water may splash due to the dry surface. Use fingers to wet entire surface to
help avoid splashing.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a
"Drip Loop" (Fig. 7). 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 8).
• 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 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:
Adjust the flow control valve to a lower setting on the pump.
