Figure 7 Drip Loop Maintenance • To clean the pump: Unplug from electrical outlet. Remove it from the base of the fountain. Use a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris. (Fig 8) • To keep water clean: Periodically change water and clean the product according to the water condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the water from becoming sticky and forming micro-organisms. We recommend distilled water to prevent mineral build-up. • To clean off hard water deposits on the base: Soak the container in a mixture of vinegar and water to clean and remove any mineral build-up. • Keeping the water at an optimum level: Add water periodically to keep water level at an optimum level to avoid shortening the life of the pump. NOTE: Never let the pump run dry, as this will shorten the life of the pump. • Fountain Storage Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet, empty the water, and store fountain in a dry, cool place. 6 Figure 8 PVC Tubing Inserts Here Back Plate Pump Inlet Front Plate Impeller Flow Control Lever Housing Suction Feet Caution: All servicing of this fountain must be performed by authorized HoMedics service personnel only.

NOTE: Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump. • If the pump gurgles, spews, or "burps": Check the water level to make sure the pump has enough water to function. •Obtaining a desired water level: Check the water level daily the first week to measure the rate of evaporation; refill with water as needed. •If water is splashing outside the fountain: Adjust the flow control lever to a lower setting on the pump. 7
