How To Take Apart My PetSafe® Seascape Pet Fountain Pump for Cleaning
Important Information
- Your pump should be taken apart and cleaned each time you disassemble and clean the fountain.
- If you have “hard water” you may start to see white mineral deposits on or down inside the pump. This may eventually prevent the impeller from turning properly.
- Our Drinkwell® Fountain Cleaning Kit has a brush specially designed to clean inside the pump. The kit can be purchased through PetSafe.com.
Important: Do not use bleach or any other harsh chemicals.
Remove the blue face plate from the front of the pump.
Pull the small tab to remove the stator.
Remove the impeller by pulling up from underneath the white plastic. This piece is magnetic and will need gentle force to remove it.
Thoroughly clean inside the pump and all the pump pieces. Use a mild dish soap and warm water to clean. If there is mineral build-up or your pump has stopped working, soak the parts in a 50/50 water and white vinegar solution for at least 15 minutes before scrubbing. Refrain from using a cotton swab inside the pump.
Once clean, reassemble the impeller, stator, and face plate.
