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 Light
Submersible Pump
Transformer
Back Cover
Assembling Instructions:
A. Place the fountain base on a smooth and level surface.
B. Remove the pump from its packaging and adjust the flow control to the lowest
setting to avoid splashing until the fountain is completely assembled.
C. Then connect the vinyl tubing from the opening in the back of the fountain and
connect to the pump. After, place the pump into the bottom of the reservoir
through the opening in the back of the fountain (see figure 1 above).
D. Remove the LED light cord from the opening in the back of the fountain. Then
connect the LED light cord to the transformer by inserting the male two-prong
socket into the female plug of the transformer (see figure 2 above).
E. 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 5 above).
F. Place the back cover over the opening on the back of the fountain. Then feed
the LED and pump cords through the designated slot in the back cover and turn
clockwise to secure (see figure 3 and 4 above).
G. Plug the cords 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 6 above).

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.
i. For small sized fountains holding water up to 7liters of water, we
recommend Alpine Item # PPL100
