Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Inspect for any damage.
- Position the Fountain: Choose a stable, level location for your fountain, ensuring it is near a grounded electrical outlet and away from areas where splashing water could cause damage.
- Install the Pump: Place the water pump inside the fountain's reservoir. Connect the pump's tubing to the water inlet on the fountain's water distribution system. Ensure the LED light cable (if separate) is also routed correctly.
- Fill with Water: Fill the fountain reservoir with distilled water until the pump is fully submerged. Do not overfill.
- Connect Power: Plug the pump's power adapter into a grounded electrical outlet. The pump and LED lights should activate.
- Adjust Water Flow: If your pump has an adjustable flow rate, set it to your desired level.

Operating Instructions
Once assembled and filled with water, operating your fountain is straightforward:
- Power On/Off: Plug the power adapter into a grounded electrical outlet to turn the fountain on. Unplug it to turn it off.
- Water Level: Regularly check the water level. Due to evaporation, water levels will decrease over time. Refill with distilled water as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged.
- LED Lights: The integrated LED lights will illuminate automatically when the fountain is powered on, enhancing the visual appeal, especially in low-light conditions.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fountain:
- Cleaning the Fountain: Periodically drain the water and clean the fountain surface with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.
- Pump Cleaning: Disconnect the pump from power. Remove the pump from the fountain and disassemble it according to the pump's specific instructions (usually involves removing the impeller cover). Clean the impeller and pump housing to remove any debris or mineral buildup.
- Water Quality: Use distilled water to minimize mineral buildup and algae growth. If using tap water, consider adding a fountain algaecide (follow product instructions).
- Winterization: In freezing climates, drain all water from the fountain and pump. Clean and dry all components. Store the pump indoors in a dry, frost-free location. Cover the fountain or store it indoors to protect it from harsh winter conditions.
