Assembling & Using Your Product
Unpack all components carefully. Please check to ensure all parts have been
removed from the packaging. Some splashing may occur.
Components:
Fountain
LED Lights
Pump
Transformer
Back Cover
Assembling:
1. Place fountain on smooth and leveled surface.
2. Connect the LED light strands found inside the fountain to the
transformer. See figure 2 in diagram above.
3. Connect the vinyl tubing into the pump; adjust the flow control to the
lowest setting to avoid splashing until the fountain is completely
assembled. Place the pump back into the reservoir.
4. Gently pour water into the back of the fountain, being careful not to
overflow and cause splashing. Make sure the water completely
submerges the pump and the water runs clear during operation. Slide
back cover into place.
5. Plug the transformer and pump cord into your local power supply. Make
sure that there is no water around the transformer and always keep the
power source in a dry place.
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

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.
