Fountain Care & Maintenance

The following general guidelines should be followed for every fountain set-up:
- The fountain should be set up on a flat, level surface to ensure proper water flow.
- A properly prepared base of gravel, flagstone, or other hardscaping material is preferred to maintain stability.
- Check that the pump works BEFORE assembly by placing it in a bucket of water and operating the pump.
- A fountain pump should only be connected to a properly grounded 110 volt (AC only) GFCI protected receptacle.

Proper care for all ceramic fountains should include the following important tips:
- Consistent filling is required to maintain a proper water level and ensure that the pump remains totally submerged. If the level of water is too low, the pump will be damaged. How often a fountain should be filled depends on water flow and specific weather conditions in which the fountain is running. Appropriate water level is also required for proper fountain performance.
- Keep pump inflow free of debris to insure proper water flow. Periodic cleaning of the pump will extend its life.
- If desired, the fountain may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft bristle brush. DO NOT use bleach as this may affect the patina.
- Algaecides available at pond supply or garden shops can be used to combat the buildup of algae.
- To maintain the finish, we recommend spraying with a clear acrylic spray rated for outdoor use once a year.

Always follow general winter care for fountains as outlined below to extend the life of your fountain:
- While pumps do come with a one year manufacturer warranty, they must be removed and stored indoors.
- Fountains must be completely drained and dried before the first freeze.
- Fountains must be covered with an appropriate cover, not a tarp or any other type of plastic.
- Covers should be checked weekly or after stormy weather or heavy snowfall because they can shift, exposing bowls to damaging moisture.
