Using filtered water can help to maintain the pump for maximum efficiency. Unfiltered, calcareous water can cause damage to the pump motor and limit years of use.  

Limescale water damages the pump

Proper care and cleaning can prevent this. Tap water is calcareous. Some zones are less exposed, others are more heavily loaded with lime. If you use hard water to start the fountain, sooner or later the pump will stop working because the spaces between the pump and the rotor are calcified. At this point, we expressly recommend the use of still water from the bottle or at least filtering the tap water beforehand. You can use vinegar or lemon to clean the pump and remove lime and other minerals. If the pump has stopped working, these tips will help to get the pump running again (for black pumps please contact support@miaustore.com for further tips).
