Just a little bit of Vaseline on a paper towel will do. It makes a slicker surface for the water to fall, plus it keeps the hard water scum from forming over time.
Just arrived today. My light intially turned on for about 5 minutes then never came on again. Just ordered a replacement light. Eta 1-2 weeks. Also a slight buzz/vibration coming from the motor. Company sending a replacement unit. No water splash while unit was running though.
1. Make sure once you start filling up the base with water that you Totally submerged the pump. 2. Make sure that the mirror is not put on backwards like me lol. I was messing around with the pump thinking something was plugging it and after the 3 round of doing so I noticed that the mirror was just put on backwards and was working the whole time.
What kind of water are you running in it ? Also mine has developed water line streaks on the mirror . I can’t afford 6 gallons of distilled water all the time . I have well water . Just bought it and love the soothing sound .
hello your video is excellent, I finished assembling my fountain but I feel very sad it makes a vibration noise on one side of the metal column I don't know
1:57 You already show the light attached to the insert without showing how you did that. For mine, the screw is bolted in and can’t be undone. 😢 Mine also came with two additional plastic pieces that seem to go around the screw, but they aren’t listed on the parts page. I assume these go around that screw and the lamp inserts into it, but I really can’t tell because I can’t get the screw undone.
I got mine at Habitat for Humanity, its like a thrift store for home stuff. They were like $30 or $50. You can find some online by searching Museum Pedestal, but they are much more.
I think it will be okay, the exterior finish might fade after a few years though. But the pump and all seem to be the same grade as a pond so it might be ok.
After installation, I have a small rubber circle, about 1" across. Where does this go? Did it fall off the pump connector? Would appreciate your quick response. Thanks. Tracy
I think it's just one of the rubber groumets that protects the wire from the sharp metal edges to route the wires through the hole like at 1:59 or 2:16.
Hi, Brandon...you were so gracious to answer my last comment/question, I'm reaching out again. My fountain is up and running now and the water is not covering the whole mirror from about 3-4 inches from the top, leaving a few inches on either side bare. I've left it running all day and I wiped down the edges with vinegar and water. But it continues on the same path. Also, if I run my finger down the sides, the water follows but then goes back to original path. Any suggestions? I'm afraid I'm not getting much support from the vendor or Alpine. Thanks. Tracy
Hmmm I heard a few others say this too... My guess is that maybe the motor is not pushing enough water. There is a knob on the motor to change the flow rate, try incrasing that... if not, not sure if anyhting else will do it excapt chaning the motor.
How can you afford the distilled water ?? You will be buying it constantly ? I used well water . But my mirror has streaks when the water isn’t running . It said to clean the mirror with window cleaned . I tried it won’t come off .
Try using your finger to guide the water on the mirror, make sure the floor is level, and turn the pump on high and wait overnight and in the morning it should even out.
@@brandon20904 hello! Any suggestions on cleaning the unit? I run mine 24hrs I add the algae drops as recommended the holes still gets clogged I use the toothbrush/ toothpick but if I get really close I can smell a fishy smell 🤦♀️
Distilled water is best when I first got mine I used regular sink water left hard water streaks a pain to clean DISTILLED WATER leaves the mirror clean when you turn it off
Before you turn it on and start the water flow, wipe a light coat of petroleum based oil on the mirror to keep the water streaks from forming.
What type of petroleum based oil do you recommend?

@glk2227 You a real one for this ✍️🏾💯
Thank you
Thank you for this I put the water in and started using it for a month and I started to notice the little streaks now im doing it your way
Thanks, I just got one of the Facebook market for $275, with no instructions so you just helped me out.
Wow, $275 🤯 good deal! Gotta love Facebook Market.
I bought one for 200
@@taya786 I just got mine for $150😅
Very cool! Thank you for the thorough unboxing and assembly instruction. I am definitely going to order one of these
Thank you for this video. I just set mine up while watching you. Thanks.🎉 it looks great in my home
Thanks so much my fountain came today and I was able to figure it out with your help ❤️❤️
I am aweful at reading directions. I’m a visual learning so thank you so much for the best video! You’re awesome for doing this!
Thank You, After Just watching your video I was able to successfully put my waterfall Together☺️🌺
Do you need to replace the water (evaporation) - if so , how often?
Every other day or so if you keep it running all day and night. If anything you will hear the pump.
Then just add more water.
Thank you for this assembling video. It was much needed.
Been looking at it on Amazon. Trying to buy 2. Someone in the comment recommended rubbing vasiline on the mirror to stop streaking.

Sorry I exited video without liking, had to come back and do it, thank you , heroes don’t always wear capes
How do you clean it? I need help cleaning the base out
Do you know how to slow the flow down so the noise isn’t so loud?
Put mesh inside of the reservoir
You can close the red valve a bit that will cut the flow down.
How is the cleaning?
Does it splash? Considering putting it in my living room with glossy floor which is not water resistant.
No
Do I Leave it running all day and night?
I am
Please share thoughts on loud noise coming from the medal side panel. Is there a fix?
hello your video is excellent, I finished assembling my fountain but I feel very sad it makes a vibration noise on one side of the metal column I don't know
I literally just put mine together 20 minutes ago and I too have a vibration. I think that I’m going to purchase and add more foam.
Place a sponge underneath the motor and it will stop the vibration. 👍
Is there a cleaning video

How is this holding up after a year? I just ordered one
Thinking of getting one…is there any splashing outside of the fountain.
SAME QUESTION I HAVE
Nice video Brandon. Where did you order the black pedestal neck to the fountain?
I got mine at Habitat for Humanity, its like a thrift store for home stuff. They were like $30 or $50. You can find some online by searching Museum Pedestal, but they are much more.
Have you had issues with the top jets spraying on your floor? I assume it's a mineral build up. How does one fix this?
Use only distilled water in fountains plus buy water fountain tablets or liquid to add to water occasionally.
Can you mount this on the wall I wanna find a way to mount it in the wall
Do you think this can be placed on an outdoor patio? uncovered.
I think it will be okay, the exterior finish might fade after a few years though. But the pump and all seem to be the same grade as a pond so it might be ok.
thanks for the video - is there any problem setting it on a timer to turn off at certain times during the day?
No problem with that, that's a good idea if you want to save some power or if you don't want it on at night.
What color is the glass clear or bronze
Mine is bronze. You can choose either when you checkout.
Thanks u very much for sharing yes I want a indoor fountain for my home.
How to I clean it and stop it from smelling like mildew
Do you still have it ?
DOES IT SPIT WATER OUT WHEN IT HITS THE BOTTOM, I HAVE CARPET, DON'T WANT IT WET
Hey i have one. It doesn't spit water
@@specialagentorange4329 OH OK THANK YOU, DO YOU LIKE IT?
Apaixonada por essa fonte!!! Meu sonho❤
Yes I bought one waiting to put it in my new apartment

@@brandon20904 thanks so much for getting back to me! So if I put it on between the pump and the attachment, it won't do any harm? You r great!
@@tracyrichards5035 yeah which ever is missing. You put it there so at if the wire rubs against the metal edges it won’t fray or cut the wire
Does it ever splatter on the floor?
Nope

Same thing happened with mine
the water is adjustable
Why does the bronze cost more than the siver
What's the length and width of this one?
It appears that the light can not be replaced without replacing the whole light fixture
you can replace only lamp, which one is comes with fountain.
Not true. I just replaced my light bulb without removing the fixture
Hey I hope you can respond i lost the pump and the papers so I don’t know the model number of the pump i dont know if you can help me
Alpine PAX860 Submersible pump
Hi 👋 I have mine for a year now but the holes 🕳 where the water come from is getting clogged , do you know how to fix it ??
Stick toothpick through the holes 🤷🏽♀️
If you find a way to fix it, use distilled water to avoid buildup in the holes
@@dwightschindler-chamberlin5507
I do used only destiller water 🥹
How can you afford the distilled water ?? You will be buying it constantly ? I used well water . But my mirror has streaks when the water isn’t running . It said to clean the mirror with window cleaned . I tried it won’t come off .
@@mojavewolf1 I used dawn also Walmart & Home Depot sell distilled water for .99 a gallon
I just got mines and it’s super uneven do you have any tips on making it flow better ?
Try using your finger to guide the water on the mirror, make sure the floor is level, and turn the pump on high and wait overnight and in the morning it should even out.
That’s what the tooth brush is for. Go along your top and sides of mirror . It will fix that issue .
@@mojavewolf1 what if you did that and still don't work
@@brandon20904 hello! Any suggestions on cleaning the unit? I run mine 24hrs I add the algae drops as recommended the holes still gets clogged I use the toothbrush/ toothpick but if I get really close I can smell a fishy smell 🤦♀️

What is the name of the item beside your waterfall?
A ball. .
@@fb8700 Lol...
