ASSEMBLING & USING YOUR PRODUCT
Unpack all components carefully. Check the packaging to ensure that
you have removed all of the parts.
Some splashing may occur when the fountain is in use.
1. Place the fountain base on a smooth and level surface. Allow
enough space to access the pump through the back door.
2. Remove the pump from its packaging and adjust the ow control
to the lowest setting to avoid splashing until the fountain is
completely assembled.
3. Pull the vinyl tubing through the back opening of the fountain and
connect it to the pump using the black tube connector.
4. Place the pump with the suction feet facing down on the bottom of
the reservoir inside the fountain.
5. Connect the pump to the transformer.
Alpine Quick Tip #1
Slide the lever on the pump to the
right to reduce water ow. Slide to
the left to increase water ow.

ASSEMBLING & USING YOUR PRODUCT
6. Without splashing, gently pour water into the fountain. Using
distilled water prevents scale build-up. Do not allow the water to
overow! Make sure the water completely covers the pump.
7. Plug the Transformer into a local power supply and push the ON/
OFF button to turn the fountain on.
IMPORTANT: Make sure no water is near the plug and always keep
the power source in a dry place. This fountain is for indoor use only.
8. Congratulations, your fountain is now complete. Don’t forget to add
water regularly, as water will evaporate over time.
Alpine Quick Tip #2
Because there is air in the pump
and water lines, it can take up to
5 minutes for the pump to expel
the air completely. Then, water
will ow properly. Make sure the
water runs clear during operation

REPLACEMENT PARTSTROUBLESHOOTING
If you have any questions or problems, please contact the retail store
where you purchased this fountain.
If your pump fails to run
1. Check the circuit breaker or try a different outlet to make sure the
pump is receiving electrical power.
2. Check the pump discharge and tubing for any kinks and/or
obstructions.
3. Any buildup obstructing the water ow can be ushed with a
garden hose.
4. Check the rotor by removing the front cover and plate to access
the impeller 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 is enough water in the basin to operate your
fountain. Not having enough water will cause your pump to spew.
If your pump makes abnormal, loud noises
1. Disconnect the pump from the electrical power supply and remove
the front cover and plate.
2. Carefully grip the impeller and gently pull the impeller/rotor
assembly out of the pump housing.
3. Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and clean the cavity with clean
water. If breakage or damage is found, contact your local retailer
for parts.

Thank you for choosing an Alpine product! We aim to please with our wide range of products
including Fountains, Birdbaths, Statuary, Pond Supplies & More. All of our products are constructed
from the highest quality materials. In the event that we have not achieved our usual standard of
excellence, we will repair or replace, at our discretion, within the warranty period. A valid proof
of purchase, with the purchase date clearly indicated, must be provided. Photos of defective
merchandise will also be required to help distinguish the actual cause of the defect. Please read
below for a detailed description of warranty coverage.
Water Damage
Alpine products are not manufactured to withstand extreme temperatures. Improper
storage that allows water to freeze within a product may cause damage, is considered
negligence, and will not be covered under this warranty. The use of “hard water,” and/or
caustic cleaners, can affect the painted or other nishes. Failure to keep the unit clean,
and use of such additives/cleaners, will also void the warranty. Please note: for fountains,
it is normal for some splashing to occur and protecting the immediate surfaces is not the
responsibility of Alpine Corporation.
Paint & Color (Retention and/or Loss)
The use of water will cause natural erosion to the color. This area can be touched up
using standard paint. The paint is designed to protect the entire nish against breakdown
of color. As with any product, all nishes with time will gradually fade and discolor. The
warranty will only cover against severe or complete fading, within the rst year from date
of purchase, with the above exclusion.
Procedure/Service
Should a warranty/claim be needed, you should contact the retailer from whom you
purchased the product. If that is not an option, you can contact Alpine Corporation at
www.alpine4u.com. When contacting Alpine Corporation, you must be prepared to
show proof of purchase, provide photographs and any other information needed to
validate your claim. This may be necessary to distinguish between a partial or complete
replacement of a defective product. The warranty does not cover any items with multiple
parts; the warranty will ONLY cover the individual component of the unit/item that may be
defective. Replacement parts can be made available to a consumer through the original
selling party, or an approved parts retailer. If this is not an option, contact our customer
service department. Item is covered under one year limited warranty from the date
of purchase. When requesting replacement parts due to a warranty claim after 30
days of purchase, credit card information will be requested for shipping charges.
Not Covered Under Warranty
The limited warranty will NOT cover cases of damages due to:
1. Damages caused in Transit
2. Inadequate care and/or neglect
3. Environmental and/or natural elements
4. Immersion in water, unless specied
5. Improper Installation/Storage and/or Maintenance
This warranty is void if the product has been damaged by accident, misuse, negligence, improper
installation and/or modications have occurred. This includes any and/or all defects arising out
of freezing water damage, hard water damage, failure to keep the unit clean and free of harmful
additives such as bleach, chlorine, etc…. which affects the paint and/or parts. This warranty also
does not cover any additional charges or installation, removal, disposal and/or shipping costs or
consequential damage associated with any warranty claim.
