Limited Warranty Information
Thank you for choosing an Alpine product! We aim to please with our wide range of products
including Fountains, Birdbaths, Statuary, and 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 finishes. 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 protect the entire finish against breakdown of
color. As with any product, all finishes with time will gradually fade and discolor. The
warranty will only cover against severe or complete fading within the first 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.

1. Damages caused in Transit

4. Immersion in water, unless specified
5. Improper Installation/Storage and/or Maintenance

Assembling & Using Your Product
Unpack all components carefully. Please check to ensure all parts have been
removed from the packaging. There some splashing may occur.
Components:
•Fountain (1)
•Submersible Pump (1)
•Transformer (1)
•LED Lights (1)
•Splash Cover (1)
Assembling:
1 Place the fountain base on a smooth & level surface
2 Connect the vinyl tubing into the pump (See above diagram step 1);
adjust the flow control to the lowest setting to avoid splashing until the
fountain is completely assembled. Place the pump back into the
reservoir.
3 Pull out the LED light cords through the side opening & connect to the
transformer. (See above diagram step 2)
4 Re-seal the back opening by sliding back in the cover door (See above
diagram step 3).
5 Make sure to feed the LED light and pump power cords through the cut-
out slot in the back of the fountain to avoid getting caught by the cover
door. (See above diagram step 4)
6 Gently pour water into the fountain (See above diagram step 5), being
careful not to overflow and cause splashing. Make sure the water
completely submerges the pump and the water runs clear during
operation.
7 Plug the LED light power cord and pump cord into your local power
supply (See above diagram step 6) & make sure that there is no water
around the plug & always keep the power source in a dry place.
oNOTE: 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
