SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Reading and understanding these instructions and warranty disclaimer
are necessary prior to product installation and operation.
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter the water with the electrical equipment plugged in.
• NEVER run the unit out of the water. It may damage the motor seals.
• NEVER lift or drag the fountain by the power or light cord.
• Suitable for FRESHWATER applications only.
• The fountain suction screen should be inspected for clogging on a monthly basis. If matted weeds,
leaves or plastic bags are present, remove them with a bristle brush. Failure to keep the suction
screen clear of blockages will cause low water flow and may cause premature motor failure. This
type of failure is NOT covered under the Aqua Control, Inc. Manufacturer’s Warranty.
• In freezing conditions, the fountain must be removed from the water body and stored in an area
above 32°F.
• Aqua Control, Inc. or its distributors are not liable for electrician’s fees incurred for troubleshooting
electrical issues.

TROUBLE CHECK POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Fountain does not operate
-OR-
Starts then stops
Not plugged in
Cord must be plugged into a 3-wire outlet
that is protected by a GFCI or the suplied
Evolution Control Box.
GFCI Tripped
Reset GFCI. If GFCI will not reset or trips
immediately, unplug the pump & lights
and reset GFCI. If GFCI will still not
reset, there may be a problem with the
Evolution Control Box or the incoming
power. If the GFCI resets, plug the pump
in the Evolution Control Box. If the GFCI
trips, there may be a problem with the
pump cord. If the GFCI holds, plug in
the optional light kit. If the GFCI trips,
there may be a problem with the lights.
Contact Aqua Control Technical Support

does not restart, there may be other
motor problems. Contact Aqua Control
Technical Support to troubleshoot the
pump.
