Transform Defiled Fountain into a normal Fountain of Healing

I'm making a map for a custom campaign of mine, and there is a secluded area that hides a Defiled Fountain guarded by a Death Revenant. Once the Death Revenant is killed and the hero (Thrall) gets close to the Defiled Fountain, I want it to become a Fountain of Healing (adding the effect the Scourge buildings do when they are destroyed, to simulate cleansing). To give an example, I want something similar to the Optional Quest "Defiled Fountain" in "Riders of the Storm" (from the WC3 demo). How can I do it?
 
1. You could try to copy what is done in that level, applying correct special effect if you want it to be different.
2. You could change some stuff in "Targeted as" field in object editorso it can be targeted by Acolyte's Unsummon ability, make a dummy acolyte owned by owner of defiled fountain (create unit and hide it) and order the created unit to unsummon the defiled fountain. When the fountain dies, create a fountain of health at position of dying unit.
3. Check in my Randomizer 0 campaign - I made the transformation in that level a bit smoother by creating a FoH at position of DF, changing its transparency, and then changing transparency of both fountains gradually.

Thank you very much, I'll check it out.
