Troubleshooting
Here at Playlearn we have spent many years developing our bubble feature range to ensure they are trouble
free. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase and we invite any questions and concerns
you have. Please e-mail us at [email protected] or call 0161 737 5099. The product is delicate and needs
maintaining for longevity. Please note the section ‘Distilled Water vs Tap Water’ below. Anytime maintenance
is required or the water needs changing, we recommend 2 persons to do this.
Distilled water vs tap water: Whilst this product has been designed to work well with tap water, the product
will need higher maintenance due to algae and the water becoming cloudy. The water will need changing
every few months whereas using distilled water, the water will stay cleaner for longer.
Emptying and Cleaning: If you have not changed the water for some time algae can build up. Water needs to
be checked on a regular basis, if it starts to change colour and/or look darker it is time to change the water. If
algae build up around the jets this will prevent bubbles from producing. To empty the water, tip the tube over
a bucket, bathtub or outside. Assistant maybe required to do this. Please ensure the adaptor is removed from
the DC jack before emptying of cleaning.
To clean, use warm water and a mild detergent (not one that creates soapy bubbles), empty the acrylic tube,
add approximately 2 litres of warm water and a drop of mild detergent and leave to soak for an hour, rinse and
possibly repeat depending how much algae has built up. Ensure the product is rinsed with just warm water
after using detergent to wash away any excess residue.
Cracked panel: If for any reason acrylic tube is cracked please contact Playlearn to discuss the option of
receiving a replacement. Do not discard it until the new one is received as parts may be needed from the
cracked panel. Cracked panel may also be required to be returned to the supplier.
No movement: Is the item plugged in and switched on? If there is no sound coming from the base? If the
pump is not making any sound, please check the adaptor, is the adaptor warm? If yes, the adapter is ok, if it’s
cold it means the adapter isn’t working and you will need a replacement adapter. Please contact product
support.
