INSTRUCTIONS FOR SET UP
1. Assemble in desired location according to assembly instructions included with your water fountain.
Be sure that the floor is level. The reservoir should be sitting flat on the floor. It is recommended that
you use a level to make sure it is level in either direction and that the fountain is sitting on a rubber
mat or foam pads to ensure that the reservoir is not in direct contact with a hard surface.
2. Fill the reservoir with water. Be sure not to fill above the height of lower holes, while keeping the
level two to three inches above the pump. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE UNIT ONCE IT
HAS BEEN FILLED. It must be drained prior to being moved.
3. Plug into and electrical outlet. We suggest that you use an outlet with GFCI (Ground fault circuit
interrupter) or a surge protector.
4. Water should start flowing over the surface of the fountain.
5. If there is no flow, the pump may have an air bubble in it. Try turning on and off the unit a few times
by unplugging and plugging it back in. As a last resort, reach into the reservoir and tip the pump to
release the air while it is still submerged. This will only have to be done the first time the unit is
turned on.
6. Using the red (or blue) handle on the hose valve adjust the flow of the water to the desired effect. Too
much flow can cause the water to spill or splash off the surface. Too little water will cause and
uneven flow of water down the surface.
7. If the water flows to one side the surface that the unit is sitting on may be unlevel. Make sure your
waterfall is always kept level. For floor fountains you can try using a shim (coin, thin plastic, etc.)
under one leg of the panel to help level the fountain. Be sure to check right to left level as well as
front to back. On wall fountains make sure the mounting bracket was level when installed.
8. DO NOT RUN THE UNIT IF IT IS LOW ON WATER. You will see air bubbles in the stream
when the water level is getting too low. You should fill the water fountain weekly to compensate for
evaporation.
9. Use standard glass cleaner to clean the glass surface. On stubborn hard water stains you may use a
calcium lime remover but DO NOT get any on the metal surfaces of your fountain or it will damage
the finish.
10. ONLY ADD RECOMMENDED CHEMICALS TO THE WATER. Harsh chemicals, such as
bleach, or non-chlorine bleach products will harm pump and other parts essential to THE
waterfall. These products are not recommend by bluworld and will void any warranty if used.
