Diagram 1 Diagram 2
Assembling Instructions:
1. Place the fountain (A) base on a smooth and leveled surface.
2. Remove the pump (C) from its packaging and adjust the flow control to the
lowest setting to avoid splashing until the fountain (A) is completely assembled.
3. Then, connect the vinyl tubing from the opening in the back of the fountain (A) to
the pump (C) (see diagram 1 step 2 above). Then, place the pump (C) into the
bottom of the reservoir through the opening in the back of the fountain (A).
4. Connect the LED light cord with male prong coming from the opening to the
transformer (D) (see diagram 1, step 3)
5. Attach the back cover (D) over the opening behind of fountain (see diagram 1
step 4 above) by sliding it in from the side.
6. Gently pour water into the fountain, being careful not to overflow and cause
splashing. Make sure the water completely submerges the pump so the water
runs clear during operation (see diagram 2 step 5 above).
7. Plug the pump’s adaptor and the lighting transformer into your local power
supply. Make sure that there is no water around the plugs and always keep the
power source in a dry place (see diagram 2 step 6 above).
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 to eliminate 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.
