Instructions / Assembly

Assembling & Using Your Product
Unpack all components carefully. Please check to ensure all parts have been
removed from the packaging. Some splashing may occur.
Components:
 Fountain
 Pump
Assembling:
 Connect the vinyl tubing to the water pump Figure 1. Adjust the flow
control on the pump to the lowest setting to avoid splashing until the
fountain is completely assembled.
 Gently pour water into the fountain, being careful not to overflow and
cause splashing. Make sure the water completely submerges the pump
and the water flows smoothly during operation Figure 2.
 Plug the transformer into your local power supply Figure 3. Make sure
that there is no water around the transformer and always keep the
power source in a dry place.
o NOTE: We recommend that you use distilled water to prevent
scale build-up. The first time you operate the pump it can take
up to 5 minutes for the air to be completely expelled and water
begins to flow properly.
Trouble Shooting & Caution
If you have any questions and/or problems, please contact the retail store you
purchased this fountain.
 If your pump fails to run
 Check the circuit breaker or try a different outlet to make sure the pump is
receiving electrical power.
 Check the pump discharge and tubing for any kinks and/or obstructions
 Any buildup obstructing the water flow can be flushed with a garden hose
 Check the rotor by removing the front cover & plate to access the impellor area.
Turn the rotor and make sure that the rotor is not jammed or broken
 If your pump “spews”
 Check the water level to make sure the pump is completely submerged and
there if enough water in the basin to operate your fountain. Not having enough
water will cause your pump to spew
 If your pump is making abnormal loud noises
 Disconnect the pump from the electrical power supply and remove the front
cover & plate
 Carefully grip the impeller and gently pull the impeller/rotor assembly out of the
pump housing
 Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and clean the cavity with clean water. If
breakage or damage is found, contact your local retailer for part
 Fountain Care
 We recommend to use Alpine’s all natural cleansing formula toeliminate foam,
lime scale and calcium buildup, fight mineral deposits, leave water crystal clear,
help prevent staining, remove organic contaminants and treat discolored water.
This formula will help prevent pump damage due to hard water build up.
