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 sus-
tains damage, you must stop using this product immediately

warranty section for HoMedics address.)
• Disconnect the appliance from supply mains before putting
hands into water.
Assembly and Instructions for Use
1. Unpack the product. Wipe off dust with a damp cloth.
2. Familiarize yourself with the pump. The pump speed is con-
trolled by the switch located at the front of the pump. The
speed is indicated by a plus (+) and minus (-) sign. To increase
the speed, move the switch slowly to the left in the direction of
the plus sign. You will hear a click as the switch moves to each
speed level. At its highest speed level, the switch will cease to
move any further. To decrease the pump speed, move the
switch to the right toward the minus sign. Similarly, at its lowest
speed, the switch will cease to move any further (Fig 8). 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.
3. Lead the cord through the cord slot on the bottom of the Base
(A). This will ensure that the unit is balanced when placed on a
flat surface. Attach the A/C adaptor jack to the base power
cord. DO NOT plug into outlet at this time. See Figure 1.

4. Slide the waterproof light into the
socket clip attached at the inner side
of the slate holder (C).
5. Take the tube on the bottom side of
the Top Slate (B) and place it through
the Slate Holder (C). Place this all
the way so that you can see the tube
through the opening on the back of
the Slate Holder (C). See Figure 2.
NOTE: When placing the top slate
(B) onto the slate holder (C) be sure
to line up the top slate notches with
the slate holder cut-outs.
6. Place the Slate Holder (C) with the
Top Slate attached (B) evenly across
the Base (A). Connect the tube to the
pump. See Figures 3 and 4. NOTE:
When placing slate holder (C) onto
Base (A), be sure to line up the open-
ing of slate holder (C) with the
notches on Base (A).
7. Insert the Slate (D) into the “U”
shaped slot (lowest) on the back of
the Slate Holder (C), to cover the
pump. Insert Slates (E, F, G) into the
Slate Holder as illustrated in the dia-
gram. See Figure 5. NOTE: This is
the slate positioning that we recom-
mend. The slates are interchangeable
and will fit into any of the slots on the
Slate Holder. The slates can be
arranged differently - by pulling the
slates in or out - the fountain will pro-
duce different water patterns and
sounds.
8. Arrange the stones provided onto the
base and slates. See Figure 6.
9. Look through the opening on the
back of the slate holder and fill the
entire bottom of the base, up to the
bottom Slate Holder, with clean water.
Water should be visible through the
back opening in the slate holder but
should not be rising above the bot-
tom of the Slate Holder.
10. Plug the cord into 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”.

Troubleshooting
• If the pump fails to operate, check
the following:
Check the circuit breaker, or try a different outlet to make
sure the pump is getting electrical power. NOTE: Always
disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and
obstructions. Algae build up can be flushed out with a
garden hose.
Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the
rotor to ensure it is not broken or jammed.
Monthly maintenance will add to your pump’s life.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the elec-
trical outlet to form a ‘Drip Loop’. This will prevent water from
running down the cord into the electrical outlet.
• If the pump gurgles, spews, or “burps”:
Check the water level to make sure the pump has enough
water to function.
• Obtaining a desired water level:
Check the water level daily the first week to measure the rate
of evaporation; refill with water as needed.
• If water is splashing outside
the fountain:
Rocks that are hit by water and also touch the edge of the
base will cause water to splash outside of the base and con-
tribute to the splash factor. Expect some splash to occur as
you get the rocks organized.
If splash continues, adjust the flow control valve to a
lower setting, and/or rearrange the river rocks by moving
them away from the edge of the base.
Maintenance
• To clean the pump:
Unplug from electrical outlet. Remove it from the base of the
fountain. Use a small brush or stream of water to remove any
debris (Fig 7).
• To keep water clean:
Periodically change water and clean the product according to the water
condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the water from becoming
sticky and forming micro-organisms.
• To clean off hard water deposits on
the base or rocks:
Soak the container and rocks 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 pump.
NOTE: Never let the pump run dry, as this will shorten the life of the
pump.
• Fountain Storage
Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet, empty the water, and store
rocks and fountain in a dry, cool place.
• Changing Light bulb
First unplug fountain and let bulb cool down. Remove the bulb cover by
holding glass bulb cover in dry hand and rubber neck with other hand.
Slowly pull apart. Slight twisting may help to loosen. Be gentle with
bulb cover since it is glass. Never pull on cord. Next pull bulb straight
out and replace with new bulb, inserting prongs into the holes. Replace
bulb cover securely.
Caution:
All servicing of
this fountain
must be
performed by
authorized
HoMedics
service
personnel only.
