A common concern with fountains is that they tend to collect dirt and debris, so it is vital that you keep it free from this.

First you must drain the water. Once it is empty, scrub inside the reservoir with a gentle cleanser. Feel free to use a toothbrush if helpful for any smaller crevasses. Do not leave any soap residue in or on the fountain.
It is highly suggested taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and eliminate any plankton or calcium. Soaking it in vinegar for a bit will make it easier to scrub.
