Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your Jocoevol outdoor water fountain:
- Choose a Location: Select a level outdoor area for your fountain, ensuring it is within reach of a GFCI-protected electrical outlet. Consider visibility and proximity to plants or structures.
- Install the Pump: Locate the pump access opening, typically at the back or bottom of the fountain. Connect the water hose from the fountain to the pump's outlet. Place the pump inside the fountain's reservoir, ensuring it rests flat and securely.
- Connect LED Lights: The LED lights are pre-installed. Ensure any separate light cables are properly connected to their designated adapters. Note that the water flow and lighting are controlled by separate adapters. To operate both simultaneously, ensure both adapters are powered.
- Fill with Water: Fill the fountain reservoir with distilled water. Ensure the water level is high enough to completely submerge the pump. Do not overfill.
- Connect to Power: Plug the power cords for both the pump and the LED lights into the GFCI-protected outdoor electrical outlet. The fountain should begin operating immediately.

- Turning Off: To stop the fountain's operation, simply unplug the power cords from the electrical outlet.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your fountain:
- Monitor Water Level: Check the water level daily, especially during warm or windy weather, as evaporation will occur. Always ensure the pump remains fully submerged to prevent damage. Refill with distilled water as needed.
- Cleaning the Fountain: Periodically clean the fountain to remove algae, mineral deposits, and debris. Use a soft brush and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Pump Cleaning: Unplug the pump and disconnect it from the hose. Remove any debris from the pump's intake screen and impeller. Clean the pump thoroughly to maintain efficient water circulation.
- Winterization: Before the first frost, completely drain all water from the fountain and pump. Clean all components and store the fountain and pump indoors in a dry, protected environment to prevent freezing damage.
