5. Always connect to a Ground Fault Circuit (GFCI) to prevent electrical shock. Never
submerge connecting power cable plug in water.
6. Never let the pump run without water as this will damage the impeller,
overheat and possibly burn out the pump. This pump must stay
submerged entirely when operating. Running pump low on water will
cause overheating, premature failure and will void warranty.
7. Do not use this product in bathrooms or swimming pools. For use with fresh water only.
8. Do not use in water over 95° F (35°C).
9. All electrical work must be performed by a qualied technician. Always follow the
National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code as well as all local,
state and provincial codes. Code questions should be directed to your local electrical
inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and OSHA safety standards may result
in personal injury or equipment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer’s installation
instructions may result in electrical shock, re hazard, personal injury or death, damaged
equipment, provide unsatisfactory performance and may void manufacturer’s warranty.
10. Do not carry or lift the pump by the power cord.
11. Never use an extension cord or tamper with power cord. Power cord should not
become bent, twisted, abraded or cut. A damaged cable may cause electric
leakage, shock or re. The power cord cannot be replaced, and unit should be
replaced if cord becomes damaged.
12. Do not remove the pump housing during
operation of the pump.
Assembly and General Installation
1. Slide the fountain oat down over the top of
the pump until it sits securely.
2. Secure the oat by inserting the three thumb
bolts into every other hole. Finger tighten the
bolts until the tops of the bolts are ush with
the inner rim of the oat. Do not overtighten.
3. Connect the light's power cord to the
transformer.
4. Connect the mooring/anchor ropes to the oat.
5. Place the fountain in your pond and secure
with the mooring/anchor rope.
6. Plug the pump and light cords into a
GFCI outlet. (See Safety and Electrical
Connections on page 1 for important
instructions about power connections.)
7. Set the timer for the lights if desired.

Operation
The Starburst Fountain has two operation modes to choose from, depending on your
preference:
Continuous Mode: displays a xed spray pattern
Gradient Mode: displays a disappearing and reappearing spray.
To change between the two modes, simply unplug the fountain and plug it back in. When
rst powered on, the fountain defaults to the Continuous Mode.
Service & Maintenance
Disconnect all power supplies before inspection or service to avoid possible
electrical shock.
1. Regularly inspect and clean the pump housing to ensure that it is clear of debris or
algae which can reduce the ow.
2. Be sure the pump housing is closed and properly latched to prevent debris from
entering the pump.
3. Check the water level daily to ensure the pump remains fully submerged.
4. If the pump is left in water but not operating regularly, test run it at least once a week.
5. Once per season the unit should be cleaned of any
debris build-up or mineral deposits on the impeller
assembly and housing. Areas with hard water may
require more frequent cleaning. To access the impeller:
A. Remove the zip tie securing the bottom screen.
B. Gently twist the bottom screen from the pump.
C. Inspect the impeller and chamber.
D. Clean using water and a damp cloth or sponge.
A vinegar mixture may help remove hard deposits
6. If the impeller is damaged, replace with a new impeller.
7. Be sure the pump housing is closed and properly latched
before returning to the pond. A zip tie is recommended to
secure the unit.
8. Winterization/Storage: When the pump is out of use for
extended time - wash and dry it then store indoors in a
non-freezing location. It is essential to prevent any risk
of the pump freezing.
