Pump Maintenance

Note:

Cleaning the pump is essential to the longevity of the fountain, as well as

the cleanliness of the water. Clean the pump every two weeks. Warranty may be

voided if the pump’s motor is not cleaned regularly.

1. Remove pump from the fountain as explained

in the “Fountain Disassembly and Cleaning”

section.

2. Remove the faceplate by using your thumb and

foreﬁnger to gently squeeze on both sides of the

faceplate and pull off. It may be necessary to

insert a ﬁngernail into the seam of the faceplate

to pry it off (Fig. 16).

3. Next, remove the stator by placing your

ﬁngernail underneath the small lip located on the

narrow side of teardrop-shaped stator (Fig. 17)

and pull out to remove.

4. Once the stator is removed, remove the impeller

(white, 3-bladed propeller). The impeller is held

in place by a magnet, simply use a ﬁngernail to

get underneath the blade and lift out (Fig. 18).

5. Once the pump is completely disassembled, you

can clean the parts with warm water and soap.

Use a cotton swab or the “motor brush” from the

Drinkwell

Cleaning Kit to clean inside the

pump’s motor cavity and remove any build-up

(Fig. 19). For added disinfecting and hard water

removal, clean the pump’s motor with a diluted

white vinegar solution (20% white vinegar and

80% water).

6. Once the parts are clean you can

reassemble the pump for use.

a) Replace the impeller.

b) Replace the stator.

c) Replace the faceplate.
