ASSEMBLING & USING YOUR PRODUCT
7. Gently pour water into the fountain basin, being careful not to
overow and cause splashing. Make sure the water completely
submerges the pump and the water runs clear during operation.
NOTE: We recommend that you use distilled water to prevent scale
build-up. It can take up to 5 minutes for the air to be completely
expelled and water begins to ow the rst time you operate the
pump.
8. You can now adjust the water pump to your ow preference.
(see Quick Tip)
9. Plug the pump into your local power supply. Make sure that there
is no water around the plug & always keep the power source in a
dry place

TROUBLESHOOTING
For any questions or problems, contact the retail store the fountain
was purchased from.
If the pump fails to run
1. Check the circuit breaker or plug into a different outlet to be
sure the pump is receiving electrical power.
2. Check the pump discharge and tubing for any kinks and/or
obstructions.
3. Check for any buildup obstructing the water ow and ush it
with a garden hose.
4. Check the rotor by removing the front cover and plate to
access the impeller area, then turn the rotor to make sure that
it is not jammed or broken.
If the pump “spews”
• Check the water level to make sure the pump is completely
submerged and there is enough water in the basin to operate
the fountain. A lack of water causes the pump to spew.
If the pump is abnormally loud
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 a local
retailer for parts.

10
CAUTION
• Always unplug the pump from the electrical outlet before
cleaning or handling.
• Use with clean water only. Do not place the fountain and/or
its parts in any other liquid.
• Periodically change the water and clean the pump to keep
it free of microorganisms.
• During freezing weather, or if the fountain will not be used
for an extended period, disconnect it and store it in a dry
place.
• Do not lift, carry, or pull the pump by the power cord.
• NEVER LET THE PUMP RUN DRY.

LIMITED WARRANTY INFORMATION
11
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. If your purchase was after our 30-day grace period, payment
information will be requested for shipping charges.
Not Covered Under Warranty
The limited warranty will NOT cover cases of damages due to:
1. Inadequate care and/or neglect
2. Environmental and/or natural elements
3. Immersion in water, unless specied
4. 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.
