Fountain Care
Proper use and maintenance of your fountain and pump will help ensure a long life.
Intended Use:
Our fountains and pumps are designed for outdoor use. While it can be used indoors, there will be moisture generated in the surrounding area. Therefore, care should be taken to use only in areas where water will not cause damage to hardwood floors, carpet, etc. It should also not be used indoors in areas of frequent foot traffic, as the moisture will cause slippery surfaces. Pumps should always be plugged into a grounded GFCI receptacle.
Pump Care:
We recommend that you run the pump in a bucket of water first, to “prime the pump” and ensure proper operation. Pumps should be cleaned regularly to ensure long life. The diagram below shows proper dis-assembly procedures. The pumps should be completely submersed in water at all times for proper operation, as low water levels may cause burnout, and void your warranty.
Winter Care:
These units are designed for outdoor use during the spring, summer and fall months. Harsh Canadian winter conditions are not suitable for use. The unit should be stored properly(with all water removed), inside the house, garage, or shed to insure long life.
The pump must be drained of all water, and cleaned as necessary.
