Assembling & Using Your Product
Unpack all components carefully. Please check to ensure all parts
have been removed from the packaging. Some splashing may occur.
Components:
Assembling:
Connect the vinyl tubing to the water pump from inside the
fountain top. Adjust the flow control to the lowest setting to
avoid splashing until the fountain is completely assembled.
Feed the LED light strand through the center of the fountain
base. Connect the LED light strand to the transformer.
Place the fountain top on to the fountain basin.
Gently pour water into the fountain, being careful not to
overflow and cause splashing. Make sure the water completely
submerges the pump and the water runs clear during operation.
Plug the transformer and pump cord into your local power
supply. Make sure that there is no water around the transformer
and always keep the power source in a dry place.
o NOTE: We recommend that you use distilled water to
prevent scale build-up. The first time you operate the
pump it can take up to 5 minutes for the air to be
completely expelled and water begins to flow properly.
Trouble Shooting & Caution
If you have any questions and/or problems, please contact the retail store you
purchased this fountain.
If your pump fails to run
Check the circuit breaker or try a different outlet to make sure the pump is receiving
electrical power.
Check the pump discharge and tubing for any kinks and/or obstructions
Any buildup obstructing the water flow can be flushed with a garden hose
Check the rotor by removing the front cover & plate to access the impellor area. Turn
the rotor and make sure that the rotor is not jammed or broken
If your pump “spews”
Check the water level to make sure the pump is completely submerged and there if
enough water in the basin to operate your fountain. Not having enough water will
cause your pump to spew
If your pump is making abnormal loud noises
Disconnect the pump from the electrical power supply and remove the front cover &
plate
Carefully grip the impeller and gently pull the impeller/rotor assembly out of the pump
housing
Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and clean the cavity with clean water. If breakage
or damage is found, contact your local retailer for part
