FAQs
How long does the battery backup last?
The battery is designed to power the fountain and LEDs for extended periods, including overnight, after a full day's charge from the solar panel. Actual runtime can vary based on usage and sunlight conditions.
Do I need to plug this into an electrical outlet?
No, this fountain is entirely solar-powered. It uses a solar panel to charge an internal battery, eliminating the need for an electrical outlet.
Can this fountain be used indoors?
This fountain is designed for outdoor use and may not be suitable for indoor environments due to its solar power mechanism and potential water splashing.
What maintenance is required?
Regular maintenance includes keeping the water level topped up, cleaning the pump and fountain basin to prevent blockages and algae growth, and wiping the solar panel clean.
How do I position the solar panel for best results?
Position the solar panel in an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight per day, ideally facing south in the Northern Hemisphere.
Is the product made of durable material?
Yes, the fountain is made from premium polyresin, which is durable and weatherproof, designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
What is included in the package?

Troubleshooting
Fountain not operating
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the pump is submerged and the cable connection is secure. Verify the battery is charged; allow it to charge for a full day in sunlight.
Low water flow
Check the water level and refill if necessary. Clean the pump intake and impeller for any blockages. Ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight for maximum power output.
LED lights not working
Confirm that the battery has sufficient charge. Check the LED connections within the unit. Ensure the ambient light sensor is not obstructed if it controls the lights.
