□ Connect the pump power cord to a GFCI outlet.
Water begins to flow through the fountain.
NOTE: To eliminate the possibility of water damage
around your fountain, check for leaks and excessive
splashing after the initial setup of your fountain. If the
water flow from the basins is uneven then check to
see if the fountain is level. It is highly recommended
this fountain be placed in an area where it cannot be
damaged should the area become wet and unstable.
NOTE: Do not leave your fountain running for
extended periods of time when no one is present to
observe the performance and water level.
WATER MAINTENANCE
□ It is recommended that you fill your fountain with distilled water. Distilled water is pure and should have no minerals or
sediment in it. It will extend the life of the pump and the time between cleanings. If distilled water is not an option, use
filtered water, as water directly from your tap will generally have minerals and chemicals that can build up and leave
behind residue on your fountain.
□ Check the water level regularly to ensure the pump is completely submerged during operation. This is necessary to
ensure proper cooling of the pump and prevent overheating. In summmer months, or dry, hot climates, water
evaporates very quickly, so it may be necessary to check the water level every day. The rate of water evaporation will
also be greater with larger fountains, with more surface area, than smaller fountains.
MAINTAINING THE FOUNTAIN
□ Keep the fountain water and pump clean and clear of debris. If placed under a tree or near vegetation, you may need
to scoop out leaves and other debris every other day. Water treatments that prevent algae growth and mineral
deposits are available at your local home & garden stores.
□ If the fountain is not in use for an extended period of time, disconnect the power and empty all the water from the
fountain. Do not tip the fountain to empty the water. Use a siphon pump or a small bucket.
□ The fountain should not be operated in temperatures below 41°F (5°C) to prevent frost damage. During winter months,
before the temperature hits freezing, disconnect the power, drain your fountain and store it in a heated area. If the
fountain is stored outdoors in freezing temperatures, disconnect the power, empty all the water from the fountain,
remove the pump and any lights if possible, make sure it is completely dry and cover it with a tarp. Any water left in the
fountain may freeze and expand causing the fountain to crack.
