Safety Information
Observe the following safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury, electric shock, or damage to the product.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the power outlet is a grounded, outdoor-rated receptacle. Do not operate the pump if the power cord is damaged. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or assembly.
- Water Safety: Use clean water only. Do not allow children or pets to drink from the fountain. Never operate the pump dry; ensure it is fully submerged in water.
- Placement: Place the fountain on a firm, level surface to prevent tipping. Ensure it is located away from electrical outlets that are not outdoor-rated and out of reach of children.
- Weather Conditions: This fountain is weather-resistant. However, during freezing temperatures, drain the fountain completely and store the pump indoors to prevent damage.

Setup Instructions
Follow these steps for proper assembly and initial setup:

- Install Pump: Place the water pump inside the designated reservoir at the bottom of the fountain. Connect the pump's tubing to the water inlet pipe of the fountain.
- Position Fountain: Move the assembled fountain to its desired outdoor location. Ensure it is on a level surface and within reach of a grounded outdoor power outlet.

Operating Instructions
Once assembled and filled, operating your fountain is straightforward:
- Turning On: Plug the power cord into a suitable outdoor electrical outlet. The pump will immediately begin circulating water, creating a cascading effect.
- Water Level: Regularly check the water level. Due to evaporation and splashing, water levels will decrease over time. Refill with clean distilled water as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged. Operating the pump without sufficient water can cause damage.
- Adjusting Flow: Some pumps may have an adjustable flow rate switch. If available, adjust to your preferred water flow.
- Turning Off: To turn off the fountain, simply unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fountain.
- Cleaning the Fountain: Periodically drain the fountain and clean the interior and exterior surfaces. Use a soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Pump Cleaning: Disconnect the pump from power. Remove the pump from the fountain and disassemble it according to its specific instructions (usually involves removing the impeller cover). Clean any debris, mineral buildup, or algae from the impeller and pump housing. Rinse with clean water.
- Water Treatment: To prevent algae growth and mineral buildup, consider using non-toxic fountain algaecides or water clarifiers. Follow product instructions carefully.
- Winterization: Before the first freeze, completely drain all water from the fountain and pump. Clean the fountain thoroughly. Store the pump indoors in a dry, frost-free location. Cover the fountain or store it indoors if possible to protect the polyresin material from harsh winter conditions.
