Ensure the water level in the fountain is always above the minimum mark to prevent the pump from running dry, which can cause damage and reduce its lifespan.

Regular cleaning of the pump is essential to maintain its performance and extend its lifespan. It is recommended to clean the pump every 2 weeks.
