• The electrical cord of this product cannot be replaced. If it sustains
damage, you must stop using the appliance immediately and
return it to the HoMedics Service Center for examination and
repair. (See the warranty section for HoMedics address).

Assembly and Instructions for Use

1. Remove all contents from packaging and inspect to make sure

all components have been received (Fig. 1):

• Base with attached electrical cord and water pump

• Wax fountain top • Rubber mat

• Polished river rocks • Platform

• 12 tea lights • Adaptor

2. Wipe any dust off the interior and exterior of the base and top

and rinse river rocks under water.

3. Familiarize yourself with the pump. The pump speed is

controlled by the dial located at the front of the pump. The speed
is indicated by a “min” and “max”. To increase the speed, move
the dial clockwise in the direction of the “max”. At its highest
speed level, the dial will cease to move any further. To decrease
the pump speed, move the dial counterclockwise toward the
“min” sign. Similarly, at its lowest speed, the dial will cease to
move any further (Fig. 2).

NOTE: It is recommended the pump be set at its
highest speed during assembly and later adjusted to
a lower setting if desired. Be sure to unplug the pump
before adjusting the speed setting.

4. Place the fountain base on a sturdy, level surface
in the desired location, ensuring its electrical cord
will sufficiently reach an electrical outlet. Once
assembled, the fountain may be difficult to move
due to splashing. Once in the desired location,
lead the power cord attached to the base through
the notch at the bottom of the base to ensure the
base sits level without wobbling.
Adaptor jack to the base power cord.

Attach the A/C

Do NOT plug

in at this time (Fig. 3).

5. Add clean water to the base until the water level
is even with the top of the notches on the inside
of the base.

6. Connect the pump to the tube protruding from
the bottom side of the platform (Fig. 4).

7. Place the platform in the base, resting on the
notches. Set rubber mat in the circular recessed
center of the platform (Fig. 4).

8. Set wax fountain top onto the rubber mat, on the
platform, alligning the hole of the platform with
the hole in the wax fountain top (Fig. 5).

9. Place 1 tea light in each of the 4 depressions on the
top of the candle (Fig. 6).

10. Place rocks around fountain top on platform being
careful not to let them fall into the base cavity
(Fig. 6).

11. Plug the A/C adaptor into a 120V household outlet.
The fountain is controlled by the switch located on
the power cord. If pump doesn’t operate, rotate in
line switch once to turn “on” and once more to turn
“off”.

NOTE: If you can hear the pump gurgling or

making sounds, you have not added enough water
to cover (submerge) the pump.

12. It will be necessary to add water occasionally due
to evaporation.
NOTE: Always add water when fountain is “OFF”
to avoid overflow.

13. Light tea lights carefully.
NOTE: Tea lights will need to be replaced
periodically, as they burn down.

Maintenance:

• To clean the pump:

Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet. Remove the
pump from the base of the fountain. Use a small brush or
stream of water to remove any debris.

• To keep water clean:

Periodically change the water and clean the product according
to the water condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the
water from becoming sticky and forming micro-organisms. An
algaecide or humidifier/vaporizer treatment can be added to
help keep it clean.

• To clean hard water deposits from
the base or rocks:

Soak the base and rocks 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 water pump. Fountain
should be “OFF” when refilling to avoid overflow.
NOTE: Never let the water pump run without water. This will
also shorten the life of the water pump.

• Fountain Storage:

When not in use for long periods of time, unplug the fountain
from the electrical outlet, empty the water and store in a cool,
dry place.

Caution:
All servicing of
this fountain must
be performed by
authorized
HoMedics service
personnel only.

Attention:
For best results,
please operate
pump completely
submerged.
Keep the water
level above
the minimum
water level
AT ALL TIMES.

Troubleshooting:

• If the pump fails to operate, check
the following:

Check the household circuit breaker or plug unit into a different
outlet to make sure the water pump is getting electrical power.
NOTE: Always disconnect the unit from the electrical outlet
before handling the water pump.

Check the water pump discharge and tubing for kinks and
obstructions. Algae build-up can be flushed out in any faucet.

Remove the water pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn
the impeller to ensure it is not broken or jammed (Fig. 7).

Monthly maintenance will add to the life of your water pump.
NOTE: Make sure that the electrical cord loops below the electri­cal outlet to form a “drip loop”. This will prevent water from run­ning down the cord into the electrical outlet.

• If the pump is loud, gurgles, spews,
or “burps”:

Check the water level to make sure the water pump has enough
water to function.
NOTE: The pump must be completely submerged in water.

• Obtaining a desired water level:

Check the water level daily in the first week to measure the rate of
evaporation. Refill with water as needed.

• If water is splashing outside
the fountain:

Rocks that are hit by water and also touch the edge of the base
will cause water to splash outside of the base and contribute to
the splash factor. Expect some splash to occur as you get the
rocks organized.
NOTE: If splashing continues, rearrange the rocks by moving
them away from the edge of the base. If this does not help, adjust
the flow control valve to a lower setting.

• If water is flowing unevenly:

Check to see if the fountain is on a level surface. Then, run fingers
across fountain surface to help spread the water distribution.
