Limited Warranty Information
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 and is considered
negligence and will, therefore not be covered under this warranty. The use of “hard water”
and/or caustic cleaners can affect the paint 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 to 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. 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 specified
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 modifications 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

Overview

This document describes the Alpine Corporation MAZ254 36" 6 Hanging Cup Tier Layered Floor Fountain, providing assembly, usage, troubleshooting, and warranty information.

Function Description:

The MAZ254 is a decorative floor fountain designed to create a soothing ambiance with the sound of flowing water. It features a layered design with six hanging cups, allowing water to cascade from one tier to the next. The fountain operates using an electric pump that circulates water from the base through the tiers. It is intended for indoor use, providing a calming visual and auditory element to any space.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model: MAZ254
  • Height: 36 inches
  • Design: 6 Hanging Cup Tier, Layered Floor Fountain
  • Power Source: Electric pump (specific voltage/wattage not detailed, but implies standard household electrical supply).
  • Water Type: Recommended to use distilled water to prevent scale build-up.
  • Operating Temperature: Do not operate with water above 90°F (32°C) or 30°C (86°F). (Note: There's a slight discrepancy in the temperature units provided in the manual, with 90°F and 30°C being different values. It's best to adhere to the lower temperature limit for safety and longevity).
  • Warranty: One-year limited warranty from the date of purchase.

Usage Features:

  • Assembly: The fountain requires simple assembly, involving placing the base, connecting the vinyl tubing to the water pump, placing the topper, and hanging the tiers.
  • Water Filling: Gently pour water into the fountain, ensuring the pump is completely submerged and the water flows smoothly.
  • Flow Control: The pump features a flow control mechanism that should be adjusted to the lowest setting during initial setup to prevent splashing.
  • Power Connection: Plug the unit into a local power supply, ensuring the transformer and power source are kept in a dry place.
  • Initial Operation: When first operated, it may take up to 5 minutes for air to be expelled from the pump and for water to flow properly.
  • Water Type: Distilled water is recommended to prevent mineral build-up and maintain the fountain's appearance and pump efficiency.
  • Splashing: Some splashing is normal, but excessive splashing can be mitigated by adjusting the flow control.
  • Indoor Use: The product is not designed to withstand extreme temperatures, implying it is primarily for indoor use or in environments where freezing temperatures are not a concern. Improper storage allowing water to freeze will void the warranty.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning:
    • Periodically change the water and clean the pump to prevent micro-organisms and maintain performance.
    • To clean the pump, disconnect it from the electrical outlet, remove the front cover and plate, gently pull out the impeller/rotor assembly, and rinse it with clean water.
    • The use of "hard water" and/or caustic cleaners can affect the paint and finishes, and failure to keep the unit clean will void the warranty.
    • Alpine's all-natural cleansing formula is recommended to eliminate foam, lime scale, calcium buildup, fight mineral deposits, prevent staining, remove organic contaminants, and treat discolored water, which also helps prevent pump damage from hard water. Specific product recommendations (PPL100 for fountains up to 7 liters, PPL102 for fountains over 7 liters) are provided.
  • Storage: Disconnect and store the unit in a dry place when not in use for an extended period.
  • Paint & Color: The use of water will cause natural erosion of color over time, which can be touched up with standard paint. The paint is designed to protect the finish against color breakdown, but gradual fading and discoloration are normal. The warranty covers severe or complete fading only within the first year, excluding normal erosion.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for common issues such as the pump failing to run (checking circuit breaker, obstructions, rotor), pump "spewing" (checking water level), and abnormal loud noises (cleaning impeller/rotor assembly).
  • Safety Precautions:
    • Always unplug the pump before cleaning or handling.
    • Use only clean water; do not place the fountain or parts in other liquids.
    • Do not operate with water outside the specified temperature range.
    • Do not lift, carry, or pull the pump by its power cord.
    • Do not exceed the maximum voltage and wattage on the transformer.
    • NEVER LET THE PUMP RUN DRY, as this can damage the pump.

Warranty Information:

  • Coverage: One-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. Covers repair or replacement at Alpine's discretion.
  • Requirements: A valid proof of purchase with the date clearly indicated and photos of defective merchandise are required for a claim.
  • Exclusions:
    • Damages caused in transit.
    • Inadequate care and/or neglect.

    • Additional charges for installation, removal, disposal, shipping, or consequential damage.

The warranty covers only the individual defective component of a multi-part unit. Replacement parts may be available through the original seller or approved retailers. Shipping charges for warranty claims after 30 days of purchase will be requested.
