Remember that the unit will not work well if covered in
deposits or setting in muck at the bottom of the fountain.
We recommend occasionally cleaning the fountain and the
element. Use a soft bristle brush to clean the element.
The element should be removed from the fountain in the
spring and placed in the fountain in the fall. We've found
that this can double the years a submersible heat element
will last.
Follow these instructions for performing an air test on a
submersible element:
-
Unplug the unit and remove from fountain.
-
Place unit into a freezer for 1 hour.
-
Remove unit from freezer and plug-in. The element
should get so hot you can't hold onto it.
If not, it is not working any longer.
Do not operate units out of water other than to air test.
Read and understand all the instructions that came with
your heater. Have a qualified electrician install the
properly grounded outlet receptacle according to local
code.
NOTE: These instructions are not meant as a substitution
for the manufacturer's instructions that came with your
heater.
