4) Once the pump is completely
disassembled, you can clean
the parts with warm, soapy
water. Use a cotton swab or
bottle brush to get into the
pump’s cavity and remove any
build-up. (See Fig. 13) For
added disinfecting and hard
water removal, clean the pump
with white vinegar.

REASSEMBLY OF YOUR FOUNTAIN
1) Replace the gasket on the Cord Pass-Thru Tube. (See Fig. 14)
2) With the gasket attached, place the Cord Pass-Thru Tube into the
opening in the bottom of the bowl. Make sure the curve of the tube
is facing towards the center of the bowl. Turn the bowl over and affix
the nut on the bottom of the tube, twist until tightened. (See Fig. 15)
Fig. 14 Fig. 15
3) Next, slide the Tube Connector over the top of the Cord Pass-Thru
Tube as shown in Fig. 16 (next page).
4) With the Tube Connector in place, feed the electrical cord through
the top of the Cord Pass-Thru Tube and out the bottom of the bowl.
(See Fig. 17 - next page)
5) Place the foam filter in the indention and then place the pump inside
the filter, so that the cord rests on top of the filter, not beneath it.

6) With the pump and filter in place, insert the Intake Tube into the
opening at the top of the pump. Move the Tube Connector up the
shaft of the Cord Pass-Thru Tube slightly to make room for the Intake
Tube. (See Fig. 18)
7) With both tubes in place, slide the Tube Connector back down the
shaft so that it encompasses both tubes. Next, remove any extra
slack from the electrical cord by pulling the cord out the bottom of the
bowl. Clip the cord in place as shown in Fig. 19.

8) Next, replace the housing by aligning the large gap at the bottom of
the housing with the raised bump on the bottom of the main bowl. For
detailed instructions, see Step # 5 on Page 3 of this manual.
9) Affix the housing cap on the housing. Once in place, replace the
O-ring and the upper dish. For detailed instructions, see Steps # 6 &
7 on Page 4 of this manual.
10) Place the fountain in a desired location. If placing on carpet, tile or
wood flooring, always use a protective mat or other durable, water
resistant surface to help protect your floor from splashing or dripping.
11) Fill the fountain with water. Before you plug the fountain in, make
sure the cord and your hands are dry. Plug the fountain into an
electrical outlet.
