Maintenance & Winterisation

Aerating Fountains require minimal maintenance, to ensure years of dependable service we recommend the following:

These units can remain in the water during the winter but need to run a minimum of 12 hours per day; if temperatures drop BELOW 20° Fahrenheit or -7° Celsius they need to be run 24 HOURS A DAY.
NOTE: Units should never be stored upside down.

Disconnect unit from power and physically inspect aerator, float and electrical cable.

An oil change is suggested to keep your aerator running smoothly.
