The assembly is very simple. You will receive a simple diagram to follow when you receive your fountain. It shows how the nozzle parts fit together. Make sure you place the fountain in enough water. This way the pump is always completely submerged.
Cleaning the pump is easy. The cover of the pump housing can be removed. Then you can remove the pump and rinse it under the tap . Also rinse the pump housing, including the water inlet. If you want to get rid of algae or slime, you can scrub the parts with a small brush. Then you simply put the pump back in its housing, close the lid and you're done!
It's a good idea to change the water in your birdbath often to prevent slime from building up. Note: Your fountain works best when the solar panel and pump are clean and free of dirt and debris.
