FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is the unit making gurgle sounds

The gurgle sounds are an indication that the water level is very low. Refill immediately (refer to filling instructions). Never let the unit run dry.

Why is the water not pumping properly through the unit?
There may be some foreign matter (food, hair, debris) trapped in the filter, or pump, that may be causing this problem. Examine the filter. Should it be saturated with foreign matter, it must be replaced. Should the filter appear in functioning order, check the pump carefully. You may need to open the pump and clean out the interior for it to function properly (refer to cleaning instructions).

I plugged in the unit, but there is no water flowing. What should I do?
There could be air trapped in the pump, preventing it from functioning properly. To remove air from the system, repeat the process of unplugging and plugging in the unit until the water begins to flow.
