Maintenance & Winterization

Maintenance

The Fractional Series requires no preventative or annual maintenance. Should the screen clog, it can be cleaned by turning the unit off, unplugging it from the power source, and removing debris by hand or with a wire brush.

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

  • 1

    Once a year: Disconnect unit from power and physically inspect aerator, stand and electrical cable.

  • 3

    Every three years: An oil change is suggested to keep your aerator running smoothly.

Winterization
  • Gemini, High Volume, and Mixer can remain in the water during the winter in freezing climates but will need to run a minimum of 12 hours per day, and should run 24 hours per day when temperatures drop below 20° Fahrenheit or -7° Celsius.
  • Phoenix and Rocket must be removed in climates that experience cold winters and frozen waters before lakes freeze over.

NOTE: Units should never be stored upside down.
