Filling the Fountain
Fill the fountain's reservoir with clean water. Ensure the water level is sufficient to completely submerge the pump. Do not overfill, as this may cause splashing outside the fountain.
Operating Instructions
Powering On
Once the fountain is assembled and filled with water, plug the power cord into a grounded outdoor electrical outlet. The pump will begin circulating water, and the LED lights will illuminate.

Maintenance
Regular Water Level Check
Check the water level daily, especially in warm weather, as water evaporates. Refill as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged. Running the pump dry can cause damage.
Cleaning the Fountain
Clean the fountain regularly to prevent algae buildup and mineral deposits. Disconnect power, drain the water, and use a soft brush and mild soap to clean surfaces. Rinse thoroughly. For stubborn stains, a fountain cleaner designed for water features may be used.
Pump Cleaning
Periodically clean the pump to ensure optimal performance. Disconnect the pump from the fountain and disassemble it according to the pump's instructions. Remove any debris, hair, or mineral buildup from the impeller and housing. Rinse and reassemble.
Winterization
Before the first frost, disconnect the fountain from power, drain all water, and clean the unit. Store the pump indoors in a frost-free location. Cover the fountain or store it indoors to protect it from freezing temperatures and harsh winter conditions.
