PUMP MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the pump is essential to the longevity of the
fountain, as well as the cleanliness of the water.
Clean the pump every 2 weeks.
IMPORTANT: Warranty may be voided if the motor is not cleaned.
Remove the Pre-filter and Housing from the bowl.
Gently lift the pump out of its resting place. Suction cups on
the bottom of the motor will hold it in place. A small amount of
force may be necessary.
Once the pump is out of the fountain, with your thumb and
forefinger, gently squeeze on either side of the intake plate,
and pull off. It may be necessary to insert a fingernail into the
seam of the intake plate to pry it off. (Fig. 4a-b)
