STEP-BY-STEP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Install the Pump Head and Water Tube
Begin by preparing the upper fountain assembly.
- Position the Upper Bowl (A) on a stable surface with the centre opening accessible.
- Insert the Water Tube (G) through the centre hole of the bowl. Slide it downward until securely seated inside the bowl opening.
- Align the Pump Head (C) with the exposed top of the water tube.
- Using the provided M3.5×16 screws (E ×3), fix the pump head to the bowl surface.
- Tighten each screw evenly to ensure the pump head stays firmly attached and upright.
Step 2: Attach the Upper Bowl to the Lower Bowl
Now that the pump head and tube are in place, you can secure the upper assembly to the base.
- Position the lower bowl (B) on a level surface.
- Carefully align the upper bowl assembly above the lower bowl, ensuring the central tube fits into the receiving opening.
- Insert the M6×40 screws (F ×2) through the pre-drilled holes in the upper bowl and into the lower bowl.
- Tighten both screws evenly using a suitable screwdriver. Make sure the bowls sit firmly together and do not wobble.
- Check that the internal tube and pump components remain centered and undamaged during tightening.
Step 3: Install the Pump and Complete the Water Connection
With the bowls secured together, you can now place the pump and connect the water flow system.
- Position the pump (D) inside the lower bowl, keeping it flat and fully supported.
- Connect the pump’s outlet nozzle to the vertical water tube installed earlier. Ensure the connection is snug so water flows smoothly without leaking.
- Route the power cord out of the fountain through the designated side opening so it does not get pinched between the bowls.
- Before plugging in, fill the lower bowl with clean water until the pump is completely submerged. Running the pump dry can cause permanent damage.
- Once submerged, connect the pump to a power source and allow the fountain to circulate water.
- Adjust the pump’s flow control dial (if included) to increase or decrease water flow according to your preference.
TROUBLESHOOTING

FAQs
1. Water is leaking but not from the screws or joints of the water fountain. What does that mean?
Leakage from a smooth surface usually indicates a crack in the bowl or tubing. Check both basins carefully after drying them. If you find a hairline crack or manufacturing defect, contact Aosom support for replacement parts.
2. How often should I clean the pump of the fountain to keep it running smoothly?
Outdoor fountains typically need a quick clean every 1–2 weeks, depending on weather and debris. Rinsing the pump filter and wiping the tube helps maintain strong flow. In dusty or leaf-heavy areas, you may need to clean more often.
3. Can I use anything besides plain water inside the water fountain?
No, using additives, coloured liquids, or untreated water can damage the pump. Always use clean tap water and replace it if it becomes dirty. This protects the pump and keeps the water looking fresh.
