Setup
1. Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the fountain and all parts for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not proceed with assembly and contact customer support.
2. Placement
Select a suitable outdoor location for your fountain. The area should be level and stable to support the fountain's weight when filled with water. Ensure there is a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected electrical outlet within reach of the power cord. Avoid placing the fountain directly under trees to minimize debris accumulation.

3. Assembly (Minimal)
The Teamson Home 33-inch Outdoor Water Fountain is largely pre-assembled. The main steps involve placing the pump and filling the reservoir.
- Locate the pump access panel or opening, typically at the back or bottom of the fountain.
- Place the UL-listed electric pump inside the designated reservoir area. Ensure the pump's tubing is securely connected to the water flow system within the fountain.
- Route the power cord safely, ensuring it does not create a tripping hazard and is not pinched.
4. Filling with Water
Fill the fountain's reservoir with distilled water or tap water. Ensure the water level is sufficient to completely submerge the pump. Do not overfill, as this may cause splashing or overflow when the pump is operating.
5. Connecting Power
Once the fountain is filled and the pump is submerged, plug the power cord into a GFCI-protected electrical outlet. The pump will begin circulating water, and the LED lights will illuminate.
Operating Instructions
Turning On/Off
The fountain operates by simply plugging it into a power outlet. To turn it off, unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Water Level Maintenance
Regularly check the water level in the reservoir. Due to evaporation and splashing, water levels will decrease over time. Refill the reservoir as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged. Running the pump dry will cause damage and void the warranty.
LED Lights
The integrated LED lights are designed to illuminate the cascading water. They will turn on automatically when the fountain is powered. No separate switch is provided for the lights.

Maintenance
Regular Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and appearance, clean the fountain regularly. Disconnect power before cleaning.
- Water Replacement: Change the water every 1-2 weeks, or more frequently if it appears cloudy or dirty.
- Surface Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild soap to clean the exterior surfaces. Rinse thoroughly.
- Algae and Mineral Buildup: For stubborn stains or algae, use a non-abrasive brush and a fountain cleaner solution (available at garden supply stores). Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the resin finish.
Pump Care
The pump should be cleaned periodically to ensure proper water flow. Disconnect power before handling the pump.
- Remove the pump from the fountain.
- Disassemble the pump according to its specific instructions (usually involves removing the intake screen and impeller cover).
- Clean the impeller and pump housing with a small brush to remove any debris or mineral deposits.
- Reassemble the pump and place it back into the fountain.
Winterization (for cold climates)
In regions with freezing temperatures, it is crucial to winterize your fountain to prevent damage.
- Drain all water from the fountain and pump.
- Clean the fountain thoroughly.
- Remove the pump and store it indoors in a bucket of water (to keep seals moist) or a dry, frost-free location.
- Cover the fountain with a breathable, waterproof cover, or move it indoors to a protected area.
