5. Pump is clogged or malfunctioning
Refer to pump cleaning instructions and pump troubleshooting instructions. If still not working,
unplug the fountain and contact customer service.
WATER IS NOT FLOWING EVENLY ‘V’ING DOWN THE PANEL
1. Water pump is running but air is in the line
Wait until the pump evacuates air from the line. If still not flowing evenly, unplug and re-plug the
pump a few times to assist in bleeding air out of the line.
2. Pump pressure is too low
Turn valve located between pump and inlet hose until water flows evenly down the panel. The flow
valve on Water Wonders fountains, Table Tops, Bellezzas, Piavascos and Water Gardens is a black
disc located on the top of the pump. Turn the valve clockwise to slow the water flow, counter-
clockwise to increase it. Be sure to make slow controlled adjustments to control the water flow. Water
flowing too fast can cause splashing.
3. Surface tension on glass needs to be broken
With the fountain running, you can take a scrubber or sponge (like you use in the kitchen to clean
dishes) and clean the glass. Remove the header and start at the top, working your way down until full
coverage is achieved. Remove the rock tray to help minimize splashing outside the fountain.
4. Fountain may be unlevel
Make sure your waterfall is always kept level. For floor fountains you can try using a shim to help
level the fountain. Be sure to check right to left level as well as front to back. A panel that is leaning
either forward or back will not operate properly. On wall fountains make sure the mounting bracket
was level when installed. If there is a measurable difference from one end of the bracket to the other
you will want to remove the bracket and reinstall it, making certain it is level. If the difference is
minute, a shim or tiny wedge can be placed on the lower end of the bracket.
5. Blockage in water distribution bar which is located above the panel
a. Bluworld Fountains
Remove the distribution bar by carefully twisting the bar back and forth until it disconnects from
the PVC elbow. Thoroughly clean the distribution bar and reinsert into the PVC elbow. You can
use a pin, pipe cleaner or small wire to clean any debris from the holes in the manifold distribution
bar. A long, narrow brush may also be used to clean the inside of the pipe. CLR
®
or any other
similar product may be used with a soft bristle brush to remove any mineral deposits that may
have developed. It is recommended that you use Fountec
®
to prevent the formation of algae in
conjunction with Protec
®
to prevent the build up of mineral deposits.
b. Water Wonders Fountains
Check to make sure there is no debris blocking any of the grooves. If calcium or algae has built
up in the groves, use a pipe cleaner to carefully remove the blockage. Use caution as to not
damage the panel as the slate is very thin and can be brittle. It is recommended that you use
Fountec
®
to prevent the formation of algae in conjunction with Protec
®
to prevent the build up of
mineral deposits.
6. Dirty filter (Water Wonders units, Trellis, Bellezzas, Contempos, Watergardens, Piavascos and
Serrano Horizontal fountains do not have filters).
Remove re-usable filter from pump, clean and re-install.
