You don't as far as I know. There is a screen so nothing bigger then 1-2cm gets inside. If you want to flush it out you can place your hose connected to your spigot over the top connector and run water through it while it is not plugged in.

You can carefully remove the screen on the bottom and clean out and replace.

Remove the dirt cup filter (washable filter from the top) and the bottom twist out plastic umbrella tube, then use a garden hose to rinse it from the top and bottom. If you have a compressor you can blow out the remaining water or just leave the top and bottom open letting it air out in the sun. This is a good time to wash the dirt cup filter too.

The pump and the fountain have to be cleaned. I use to clean them every week. It's water sediment !

A bowlof soap & warm water. Place pump straw end in bowl then pum solution through pump. Same thing for rinsing.

As I recall, the instructions were not worth much anyway. Just put some clean water in the top half of the unit. Push the pump to dispense water into bowl. Pull the handle that opens the blade valve to transfer water into lower half of unit. Remove top half of unit and transport to where you want to dump it. By working with clean water you won't make a mess while learning how it all works. Not hard to figure this out.

I just use a common plastic 5 gallon bucket and lower the pump into it. Couldn't be simpler.

Line up the pump with the top part of the fountain and then press it down so that it sticks to the bottom of the fountain.

A regular pump sprayer is fine with this- I haven't had any problems with clogging. Just be sure not to use a sprayer that previously held weed killers or you may inadvertently knock off some of the plants you are trying to protect.

It's listed as a "semi-trash" pump, so some amount of leaves shouldn't damage the pump. There are usually some leaves in the water I pump and they go right through. However, you won't be able to use an inlet screen or it will immediately block with leaves. You also MUST keep the inlet fully submerged or it will suck air and loose it's prime. You'll loose the prime if you try to pump leaves near the surface.

Use a rake to gather the leaves in a pile and then use these to gather big scoops of the leaf pile to dispose of. This cuts the time it takes to clean up leaves in half or more. I love these things!

Have you tried looking under the suction make sure no leaves are stuck also use the pool stream to shoot out any debri...sometimes this helps..could be clogged..

i guess i do not understand your question, if you purchased a sprayer it will unscrew from the bottom.

Look for "Snip-n-Drip End Caps with Couplers" in our Amazon store. These end caps are easy to remove which is especially useful when draining the system.

On the bottom of the unit there's a plastic tab. It takes more pressure on the tab than I'm comfortable with to release the catch that holds the tube, and you may need to push/pull the tube away from the housing while pressing hard on the tab. Removing the leaf attachment is harder, 'cuz there's less leverage.

Hi Lorena,You may need a new pump. HHow long have you had it? A new pump can easily be attached to the bottom where it pulls out. Contact me at crizbooth@gmail.comThanks

It will suck up a bit of sludge, but I would recommend, for longevity purpose, to try and avoid that situation. The more water in the mixture, the better results. Cleaning the pump area afterwards is recommended. The pump comes with a netting, so leaves wont pass through. I wouldn't suck up leaves, the pump chamber would most likely seize.
