INSTRUCTIONS FOR SET UP OF FLOOR FOUNTAINS
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 holes, while keeping the water
level above the pump so it is completely submerged. 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 edge 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. Operating the unit with the water level
not full covering the pump can damage it and void the warranty. 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. Please also keep in mind that warmer climates and air conditioned
environments will cause water to evaporate much faster.
9. Use standard glass cleaner to clean the glass surface. On stubborn hard water stains you may use
Spot-X
® or 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 (Fountec
®
or Protec
®
) TO THE WATER. Harsh
chemicals, such as bleach or non-chlorine bleach products will harm the finish, pump and other
parts essential to the waterfall. These products are not recommend by Bluworld and will void
any warranty if used.
