INTRODUCTION
The Cyclone pump is ideal for pond owners looking for energy-ecient performance, ow, and ease of
maintenance. The Cyclone pumps come with a high-performance, extremely sturdy, asynchronous motor and 33-
foot cord. This versatile pump can be used vertically, horizontally, and in or out of water. The pump features simple
maintenance, with a removable rotor assembly, water-resistant ceramic bearings for continuous and trouble-free use.
Your Alpine Cyclone pump is oil-free, magnetic-driven and is epoxy protected, with a ceramic shaft for long lasting
dependable performance. This pump is equipped with a pre-lter cage which handles solids up to a quarter inch in size.
For a car to stay in great condition, proper maintenance is required. Therefore, Alpine suggests that once a week,
you verify that the pump is performing satisfactorily. If you detect a drop in pump performance (such as a decrease in
water ow from the pump or to the waterfall), rst clean the pump’s pre-lter cage and the tubing connected to the
pump. If the water ow is still not fully restored to its original performance, simply clean the impeller and internal pump
body.
