Setup Instructions
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage. Ensure all parts listed in the 'What's Included' section are present.
- Choose Location: Select a level surface for your fountain. Ensure it is near a power outlet and protected from strong winds to minimize water splash.
- Assemble Pump: Connect the water pump to the tubing located inside the fountain body. Ensure a secure fit.
- Position Fountain: Place the fountain body in your desired location.
- Fill with Water: Fill the lowest basin of the fountain with distilled water until the pump is fully submerged. The fountain has a 2.6-gallon capacity. Do not overfill.

Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Plug the fountain into a suitable outdoor outlet to turn it on. Unplug it to turn it off.
- Water Level: Regularly check the water level in the basin. Due to evaporation and splash, water levels will decrease over time. Refill as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged. Operating the pump without sufficient water can cause damage.
- Flow Control: The water pump includes an adjustable flow control. Rotate the dial on the pump to increase or decrease the water flow rate to your preference.
- LED Lighting: The fountain features built-in LED lights that illuminate the cascading water, enhancing its visual appeal, especially during evening hours. The lights operate automatically when the fountain is powered on.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your fountain.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fountain to prevent algae buildup and mineral deposits. Drain the water, wipe down surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the polyresin finish.
- Pump Care: Disconnect the pump and clean it regularly. Remove any debris, hair, or mineral buildup from the pump intake and impeller. This ensures optimal water flow and pump longevity.
- Water Quality: Use distilled water to minimize mineral deposits. If using tap water, consider adding a fountain algaecide to prevent algae growth.
- Winterization: In freezing climates, drain all water from the fountain and pump before the first frost. Clean the fountain and store the pump indoors in a dry, frost-free location. Cover the fountain or store it indoors to protect it from harsh winter weather.
