FAQs
How long does the water feature operate on a full charge?
The operating time depends on the amount of direct sunlight received. On a fully sunny day, it should operate for several hours. Performance may be reduced on cloudy days or after periods of low sunlight.
Do I need to connect it to a power source?
No, this water feature is solar-powered and does not require any connection to a mains electrical source.
What is the best location for the solar panel?
The solar panel should be positioned in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight per day for optimal performance.
How often should I add water to the feature?
Water levels should be checked regularly, especially during hot or dry weather, and topped up to ensure the pump remains submerged. This might be daily or every few days depending on conditions.
Can this water feature be left outside in winter?
It is recommended to empty the water feature and store it indoors during freezing temperatures to prevent damage from frost.
What material is the water feature made from?
The water feature is crafted from durable resin, designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water pump not running
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the pump is fully submerged in water and that there are no blockages in the pump intake. Verify connections between the pump and solar panel.
Low water flow
Check for any kinks in the tubing or debris blocking the pump outlet. Ensure the water level in the reservoir is sufficient. Insufficient sunlight can also reduce flow.
LED lights not working
Confirm that the solar panel has been exposed to sufficient sunlight to charge the internal battery (if applicable). Clean the solar panel and ensure the LEDs are not obstructed. Check for any damage to the LED components.
Algae or sediment buildup
Drain the reservoir and clean it thoroughly with a soft brush and water. You can use a small amount of mild, non-toxic cleaner if needed, rinsing thoroughly. Regular topping up with clean water helps minimize buildup.
