Proper Care
The unit will not work well if covered in deposits or is
sitting in muck at the bottom of the fountain. We recommend
occasionally cleaning the fountain and the element. It is
helpful but not a necessity to use a heater base for the
de-icer.
Make sure to clean the slot in from of the black plastic part of
the unit. The thermostat senses the water temperature from this
area and it will shut off prematurely if the 1/4" x 1" slot is
full of deposits or other material.
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.
