Thank you for choosing an Alpine product! We aim to please with our wide range of products including
Fountains, Birdbaths, Statuary, Pond Supplies & More. All of our products are constructed from the highest
quality materials. In the event that we have not achieved our usual standard of excellence, we will repair or
replace, at our discretion, within the warranty period. A valid proof of purchase, with the purchase date
clearly indicated, must be provided. Photos of defective merchandise will also be required to help
distinguish the actual cause of the defect. Please read below for a detailed description of warranty
coverage.
Water Damage
Alpine products are not manufactured to withstand extreme temperatures. Improper storage that
allows water to freeze within a product may cause damage, is considered negligence, and will
not be covered under this warranty. The use of “hard water,” and/or caustic cleaners, can affect
the painted or other finishes. Failure to keep the unit clean, and use of such additives/cleaners,
will also void the warranty. Please note: for fountains, it is normal for some splashing to occur
and protecting the immediate surfaces is not the responsibility of Alpine Corporation.
Paint & Color (Retention and/or Loss)
The use of water will cause natural erosion to the color. This area can be touched up using
standard paint. The paint is designed to protect the entire finish against breakdown of color. As
with any product, all finishes with time will gradually fade and discolor. The warranty will only
cover against severe or complete fading, within the first year from date of purchase, with the
above exclusion.
Procedure/Service
Should a warranty/claim be needed, you should contact the retailer from whom you purchased
the product. If that is not an option, you can contact Alpine Corporation at
www.alpine4u.com. When contacting Alpine Corporation, you must be prepared to show proof
of purchase, provide photographs and any other information needed to validate your claim. This
may be necessary to distinguish between a partial or complete replacement of a defective
product. The warranty does not cover any items with multiple parts; the warranty will ONLY
cover the individual component of the unit/item that may be defective. Replacement parts can
be made available to a consumer through the original selling party, or an approved parts
retailer. If this is not an option, contact our customer service department. Item is covered
under one year limited warranty from the date of purchase. When requesting replacement
parts due to a warranty claim after 30 days of purchase, credit card information will be
requested for shipping charges.
Not Covered Under Warranty
The limited warranty will NOT cover cases of damages due to:
1. Damages caused in Transit
2. Inadequate care and/or neglect
3. Environmental and/or natural elements
4. Immersion in water, unless specified
5. Improper Installation/Storage and/or Maintenance
This warranty is void if the product has been damaged by accident, misuse, negligence, improper installation
and/or modifications have occurred. This includes any and/or all defects arising out of freezing water
damage, hard water damage, failure to keep the unit clean and free of harmful additives such as bleach,
chlorine, etc…. which affects the paint and/or parts. This warranty also does not cover any additional
charges or installation, removal, disposal and/or shipping costs or consequential damage associated with
any warranty claim.

Basin into the Pump Housing. Loosen the brass
nut to raise Pump Tube enough to slide the Pump
into place. Once in place, the Pump Tube will
insert into the top of the pump water outlet.
Retighten the brass nut to lock the pump into
place.

avoid splashing until the fountain is completely
assembled. Note: The fountain will need to be
partially disassembled in order to adjust once
complete.

4. Attach the Fountain Basin by twisting it on to the
threaded Post. Then attach the Pump Housing to
the Fountain Basin with the 3 supplied
Screws/Washers Note: If the screws holes do not
align, twist the pump housing until they do.
5. Now stack the other pieces over the fountain.
Start with the Pump Cover, Big Dish, Dish Cover,
Small Dish, and Finally the Top Cover by screwing
it on to the threaded Pump Housing Shaft.
6. Gently pour water into the fountain basin, being
careful not to overflow and cause splashing. Make
sure the water completely submerges the pump
and the water runs clear during operation.
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
7. Plug the pump into your local power supply. Make
sure that there is no water around the plug &
always keep the power source in a dry place.

surface. Attach the Post Connector to the Fountain
Base, followed by the Post and twisting clockwise
with the threads.
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 impeller 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 is
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 parts.
