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.
