- Placement: Place the fountain on a flat, stable, and waterproof surface to prevent spills and damage. Keep away from electrical appliances and outlets.

Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and place them on a clean, flat surface.
- Position the Pump: Place the water pump inside the fountain base. Ensure the pump's suction cups are firmly attached to the bottom of the basin.
- Connect Tubing: Connect the plastic tubing from the fountain top/column to the outlet on the water pump. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
- Place Fountain Top: Carefully place the fountain top/column onto the base, ensuring it is stable and the tubing is not kinked.
- Install LED Light: Position the LED light assembly at the top of the fountain column, ensuring it is securely placed to illuminate the water flow. Connect the light's power cord to the designated connector, usually near the pump.

Adjusting Water Flow
The pump typically has an adjustable flow rate switch. Locate this switch on the pump and slide it to increase or decrease the water flow to your desired level. Adjusting the flow can change the sound of the water.
Turning Off the Fountain
To turn off the fountain, simply unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Maintenance
Water Level
Check the water level daily. Due to evaporation, water levels will decrease. Always ensure the pump is fully submerged to prevent damage. Refill with distilled water as needed.
Cleaning the Fountain
To prevent mineral buildup and algae growth, clean the fountain regularly (at least once a month). Unplug the fountain, drain the water, and wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Pump Care
Periodically clean the pump to ensure optimal performance. Disassemble the pump according to its instructions (usually involves removing the front cover and impeller). Clean any debris or mineral buildup from the impeller and its housing using a small brush. Reassemble the pump carefully.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water not flowing or weak flow | Low water level, kinked tubing, dirty pump, airlock in pump. | Add water to cover the pump. Check tubing for kinks. Clean the pump. Unplug and replug the pump to reset. |
| Excessive splashing | Water flow too high, fountain not level. | Adjust pump flow rate to a lower setting. Ensure the fountain is on a level surface. |
| No light | Light bulb burnt out, loose connection, power issue. | Check light bulb and replace if necessary (ensure correct wattage). Verify all light connections are secure. Check power outlet. |
| Loud pump noise | Low water level, pump not properly submerged, debris in pump. | Ensure pump is fully submerged. Clean the pump of any debris. |
