shown on the pump.
• Do not pump flammable liquids through the water pump.
• Do not use water above 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Caution – Please read all instructions
carefully before operating.
• Never leave appliance unattended while operating the unit,
especially if children are present.
• Never cover unit when it is in operation.
• Connect the pump only to 120 volt A/C household outlet as
indicated on the pump label.
• Always keep the cord away from high temperatures.
• Unplug the water pump from the power source before cleaning,
performing maintenance, or disassembling.
• To get the most efficient flowing effect, product must be placed on
a level and sturdy surface before using, and should not be placed
on any type of electrical appliance.
• Never let the water pump run without water. This will shorten the
life of the pump.
• Operate with freshwater (tap water) only. The pump is not
equipped to run with saltwater (sea water).
• Operate pump completely submerged for proper cooling.

Caution:
The pump must
be completely
submerged in
water. If the
pump is making
noises, most
likely it is not
completely
submerged
in water.
Caution:
Only set the
fountain and
fountain parts
on waterproof
surfaces.

• The electrical cord of this product cannot be replaced. If it sustains
damage, you must stop using the appliance immediately and
return it to the HoMedics Service Center for examination and
repair. (See the warranty section for HoMedics address).
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet before putting
hands into water.
Assembly and Instructions for Use
1. Remove all contents from packaging and inspect to make sure
all components have been received (Fig. 1):
• Base with attached electrical cord and water pump
• Fountain top
• A/C Adapter
2. Wipe any dust off the interior and exterior of the base and top.
3. Familiarize yourself with the pump. The pump speed is
controlled by the dial located at the front of the pump. The speed
is indicated by a “min” and “max”. To increase the speed, move
the dial clockwise in the direction of the “max”. At its highest
speed level, the dial will cease to move any further. To decrease
the pump speed, move the dial counter-clockwise toward the
“min”. Similarly, at its lowest speed, the dial will cease to move
any further (Fig. 2).

NOTE: It is recommended the pump be set at its
highest speed during assembly and later adjusted to
a lower setting if desired. Be sure to unplug the pump
before adjusting the speed setting.
4. Place the fountain base on a sturdy, level surface
in the desired location, ensuring its electrical cord
will sufficiently reach an electrical outlet. Once
assembled, the fountain may be difficult to move
due to splashing. Once in the desired location,
lead the power cord attached to the base through
the notch at the bottom of the base to ensure the
base sits level without wobbling. Attach the A/C
adapter jack to the base power cord. Do NOT plug
in at this time (Fig. 3).
5. Add clean water to the base until the water level
is 1/2” to 3/4” below the rim.
6. Connect the PVC tube to the pump, adjust the
pump speed and place the fountain top on the
base (Fig. 4).
7. Place the fountain top on to the base.
8. Plug the A/C adapter into a 120V household outlet.
The fountain is controlled by the switch located on
the power cord. If pump doesn’t operate, rotate in-
line switch once to turn “on” and once more to turn
“off”.
NOTE: If you can hear the pump gurgling or making
sounds, you have not added enough water to cover
(submerge) the pump.
9. It will be necessary to add water occasionally due
to evaporation.
NOTE: Always add water when fountain is “OFF”
to avoid overflow.

Maintenance:
• To clean the pump:
Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet. Remove the
pump from the base of the fountain. Use a small brush or
stream of water to remove any debris.
• To keep water clean:
Periodically change the water and clean the product according
to the water condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the
water from becoming sticky and forming micro-organisms. An
algaecide or humidifier/vaporizer treatment can be added to
help keep it clean.
• To clean hard water deposits from
the base:
Soak the base in a mixture of vinegar and water to clean and
remove any mineral build-up.
• Keeping the water at an optimum
level:
Add water periodically to keep water level at an optimum level
to avoid shortening the life of the water pump. Fountain
should be “OFF” when refilling to avoid overflow.
NOTE: Never let the water pump run without water. This will
also shorten the life of the water pump.
• Fountain Storage:
When not in use for long periods of time, unplug the fountain
from the electrical outlet, empty the water and store in a cool,
dry place.

Troubleshooting:
• If the pump fails to operate, check
the following:
Check the household circuit breaker or plug unit into a different
outlet to make sure the water pump is getting electrical power.
NOTE: Always disconnect the unit from the electrical outlet
before handling the water pump.
Check the water pump discharge and tubing for kinks and
obstructions. Algae build-up can be flushed out in any faucet.
Remove the water pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn
the rotor to ensure it is not broken or jammed.
Monthly maintenance will add to the life of your water pump.
NOTE: Make sure that the electrical cord loops below the electri-
cal outlet to form a “drip loop”. This will prevent water from run-
ning down the cord into the electrical outlet.
• If the pump is loud, gurgles, spews,
or “burps”:
Check the water level to make sure the water pump has enough
water to function.
NOTE: The pump must be completely submerged in water.
• Obtaining a desired water level:
Check the water level daily in the first week to measure the
rate of evaporation. Refill with water as needed.
• If water is flowing unevenly:
Check to see if the fountain is on a level surface. Then, run fingers
across fountain surface to help spread the water distribution.
