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 evapora-
tion; 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 back side 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 6).
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.
