Setup Instructions
- Place the Fountain Base: Select a flat, level, and water-resistant surface for your fountain. Ensure it is away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Assemble the Tiers: Carefully insert the leaf tiers onto the central support structure of the fountain base. Ensure they are securely seated.
- Install the Pump: Place the water pump inside the fountain base. Ensure the pump's power cord is routed through the designated opening in the base to prevent pinching.
- Add Water: Fill the fountain base with approximately 2 cups of distilled water. The water level should be sufficient to completely submerge the pump. Do not overfill.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fountain:
- Water Level: Check the water level daily, especially in dry environments, and refill as needed to keep the pump fully submerged. This prevents pump damage and reduces pump noise.
- Water Quality: Use distilled water to prevent mineral buildup and keep the fountain clean.
- Cleaning: Clean the fountain and pump regularly (e.g., every two weeks) to prevent algae growth and maintain clear water flow. Disconnect power before cleaning.
- Rock Placement: Adjust the placement of the river rocks to fine-tune the water sound and minimize splashing.
