Assembly
1
Assembling the fountain body
2
Attaching the pump and
metal top
□Select a flat, level surface for the fountain location.
□Unfold the metal base, and adjust the four legs to
90 degree angles. Then, turn the top screw (a)
counterclockwise and the bottom screw (1)
clockwise to lock the legs in place.
□Position the glass basin (B) over the metal base (A).
Ensure the glass basin is level.
□Put the pump (C) into the glass basin (B)
horizontally, and draw out the pump power cord from
the edge of the glass basin and keep it opposite of
the operator.
□Pull of the clips with suction cup (2) to a 45 degree
angle, then position the metal top (D) over the glass
basin (B) to clip the edge of the glass basin (B).
Insert the water supply tube (3) into the pump outlet
that is on the top of the pump. Slightly dampen the
surface of suction cups (2) and press them onto the
bottom of the glass to ensure that they stick on the
glass tightly.
□Add clean water into the glass basin (B). The
required water volume is 4.5 liters (1.19 gallons)
or the water level should be approximately 0.8 in.
/20 mm lower than the edge of the glass basin.

Operation
1
Turning the pump on
□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.
Care and Maintenance
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.

Care and Maintenance (continued)
Preventing Mosquitos
□If mosquitoes are a problem in your area, it is recommended to run the fountain as much as possible to prevent
standing water, where mosquitoes breed. You may also add a few drops of anti-mosquito water treatment, available
at your local home and garden store, to the fountain water.
Preventing Water Damage
□To eliminate water damage to floors and/or surrounding fountain areas, check for leaks and excessive splashing
after initial installation and on a regular basis.
Repairing Leaks
□If your fountain develops a leak and a visible crack is detected, seal the crack with plastic epoxy or Clear Silicone II
sealant. If the fountain leaks without a visible crack, turn the pump off, fill the fountain and let the fountain sit for one
week. If there is a crack, it will appear white. Remember to keep the water ¾ full as water evaporates over time.
CLEANING THE FOUNTAIN
□Do not use bleach as it may be harmful to pets and wildlife and may also damage the finish of the fountain.
□Clean the fountain monthly to prevent mineral deposits and contamination which may clog the pump.
□Disconnect the pump from the power source and empty the water from the fountain. Use any gentle household
cleanser and a soft brush or cloth to clean the fountain. Avoid using any harsh chemicals, abrasives or rough
scrubbing, as this could damage the finish on your fountain. The frequency of cleaning may vary depending on the
location of your fountain.
MAINTAINING THE PUMP
□Use a pre-filter on your pump, if available, to prevent it from clogging with leaves or other debris.
□Regular cleaning of the pump is necessary depending upon the environment in which it is operated. Clean the
pump when it is visibly soiled or when a noticeable decrease in performance is detected. Failure to clean the
pump will result in overheating of the pump.
□Although it is not required, pumps generally last longer if left running continuously as it reduces the wear from
starting and stopping.
CLEANING THE PUMP
WARNING: Before cleaning, always disconnect the
pump from the power source.
□Disassemble the pump by removing the filter (1), flow regulator (2), and gland (3). Remove the impeller/rotor
assembly (4) by gently pulling on the impeller blades. Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the area inside of the
pump housing (5). Clean the flow regulator (2), filter (1), and impeller assembly (4) in warm soapy water.
Reassemble the pump and inspect for proper operation.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
The pump does not operate.
□Check to make sure the pump is connected to a power source.
□Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. Add water
as needed.
The pump operates, but there is no
water flow.
□Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. Add water
as needed.
□Check the supply tube for any kinks or folds and correct.
The pump operates, but there is no
water flow and the pump is fully
submerged and the supply tubing
has no kinks.
□Disconnect the pump from the power source.
□Disconnect the supply tube from the pump outlet.
□Check for clogs or holes and clean the tubing inside and outside if necessary.
□Check for clogs and clean the pump inlets and outlet if necessary.
□Place the pump back into the water outlet side up and then re-connect the
pump to the power source.
□Once the water begins to flow from the pump, re-connect the supply tubing to
the pump outlet.
□Check for any air trapped in the water supply tube which may prevent the
pump from working.
The pump runs with low or high
water circulation.
□Check and adjust the regulator dial or slide on the front of the pump. Adjust the
dial/slide towards (+) to increase water flow or towards (-) to decrease water flow.
The pump operates, but the water
flow is uneven or non existent and
the pump makes noise.
□Check the impeller assembly for wear. Remove the front cover and
regulator/impeller plate and remove the impeller assembly.
□Clean the impeller assembly and inspect for wear. If the rotor spins freely from
the magnetic body, the impeller assembly is worn and needs to be replaced.
Contact customer service for replacement parts.
The pump starts to make noise.
□Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. If the
water level drops below the pump intake, it may suck in air and cause the
noise or the pump to completely stop working.
□Move the pump away from the sides of the basin or place a piece of foam or
sponge undermeath the pump to isolate any vibration which causes the noise.
The water starts to foam.
□Check the water level to ensure the pump is completely submerged. If the
water level drops below the pump intake, it may suck in air and cause the
pump to “spit” and foam the water.
□Add a few drops of anti-foaming water treatment, available at your local home
and garden store, to the fountain water.
The water flow is uneven.
□Gently sweep across the water surface to achieve even water flow across the
face of the fountain.
□Check the top of the basin to ensure it is level. If not, shim the basin from the
bottom until the top spillway is level or has achieved even water flow all
around.
