Assembling & Using Your Product
Unpack all components carefully. Please check to ensure all parts have been
removed from the packaging.
Components:
• Fountain
• LED Light
• Pump
• Transformer
• Back Cover
Assembling:
1. Place fountain on smooth and level surface.
2. Remove the pump from its packaging and adjust the flow control to the
lowest setting to avoid splashing until the fountain is completely
assembled.
3. Then remove the vinyl tubing from the opening in the back of the
fountain and connect to the pump. (See figure above step 1)
4. Remove the 4 LED light cords from the opening in the back of the
fountain. Then connect the LED light cords to the back of the pump by
inserting the male two-prong sockets into the female plugs of the pump.
(See figure above) After, place the pump into the bottom of the
reservoir.
5. 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 figure above step 3)
6. Cover the opening at the back with the provided back cover.
7. Plug the cord for the LED lights and pump 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 figure above step 4)
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.
