Troubleshooting
- Fountain not dispensing water:
- Check if the power adapter is securely plugged in.
- Ensure the water level is above the MIN line.
- Clean the water pump as described in the Maintenance section. A blocked pump can prevent water flow.
- Fountain is noisy:
- Check the water level; low water can cause pump noise.
- Clean the water pump. Debris inside the pump can cause vibrations and noise.
- Ensure the pump is securely seated in its slot.
- Red light flashing:
- A flashing red light indicates the pump is blocked. Refer to the pump cleaning instructions.
- A constant red light indicates a low water level. Refill the fountain.
