- Do not operate the pump dry; always ensure it is fully submerged in water.
- Keep electrical cords away from high-traffic areas and sharp objects.
- Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet for outdoor electrical connections.
- Do not allow children or pets to play with the fountain unsupervised.
- Protect the fountain from freezing temperatures by draining and storing it indoors during winter.

Setup Instructions
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the fountain and all parts for any damage. If damage is found, do not proceed with setup and contact customer support.
- Choose Location: Select a level surface for your fountain, ensuring it is within reach of a GFCI-protected electrical outlet. Consider proximity to water for easy refilling.
- Assemble Pump: Place the submersible pump into the designated area within the fountain basin. Ensure the pump's tubing is securely connected to the water outlet on the fountain.
- LED Lights: If the LED lights are not pre-installed, carefully place them in their designated positions, typically near the water outlets, and connect them to the appropriate connector from the pump or power supply.
- Fill with Water: Fill the fountain basin with distilled water until the pump is fully submerged. Do not overfill. The fountain has a 3.5-gallon water capacity.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a GFCI-protected electrical outlet. The pump and lights should activate.
- Adjust Flow: The pump features an adjustable flow control. Turn the dial on the pump to achieve your desired water flow rate.

Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: The fountain operates by plugging it into an electrical outlet. To turn it off, simply unplug it.
- Water Level: Regularly check the water level. Due to evaporation, water levels will decrease over time. Refill as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged.
- LED Lights: The integrated LED lights will illuminate when the fountain is powered on, providing ambient lighting.
- Adjusting Flow: Use the flow control switch on the pump to increase or decrease the water circulation speed.
Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the fountain and pump regularly (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly) to prevent algae buildup and mineral deposits. Use a soft brush and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.
- Water Quality: Use distilled water to minimize mineral buildup. Consider using a non-toxic fountain algaecide to keep water clear.
- Pump Care: Periodically remove the pump and clean its impeller and housing. Refer to the pump's specific instructions for detailed cleaning.
- Winterization: Before the first frost, drain all water from the fountain and pump. Clean and dry all components. Store the fountain and pump indoors in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage.
