FAQs

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

The integrated batteries provide power for a few hours of operation after sufficient solar charging, typically running the feature and lights after dusk. Exact duration depends on sunlight intensity and duration.

Do I need to connect this to a power outlet?

No, this is a solar-powered water feature and does not require a mains electricity connection.

Can this water feature be used in winter?

It is primarily designed for summer use. Performance will be significantly reduced in colder weather, and it is recommended to empty and store the unit indoors during winter to prevent frost damage.

How often should I add water?

Water levels should be checked regularly, especially during warm or windy weather, as water can evaporate. Top up as needed to keep the pump submerged.

What maintenance is required?

Keep the water topped up, clean the pump intake if flow reduces, and wipe the feature and solar panel occasionally with a damp cloth.

What is the height of the water feature?

The water feature stands at 62cm tall.

Can I place the solar panel far from the water feature?

Yes, a 5m low-voltage garden-grade solar cable is provided, allowing for flexible placement of the solar panel to capture optimal sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Water feature is not working

Ensure the unit is switched on, the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight, and the water level is sufficient to cover the pump. Check that all cable connections are secure.

Low water flow or pump intermittently stopping

Check the water level and refill if necessary. Clean any debris from the pump intake. Ensure the solar panel is clean and optimally positioned for sunlight.

LED lights are not illuminating

Verify that the LED converter cable is correctly connected. Ensure the solar panel has had sufficient direct sunlight to charge the integrated batteries. Check the on/off switch setting.

Water feature makes unusual noise

Ensure the feature is on a level surface and the pump is fully submerged and free of obstructions. Check that the water flow is not obstructed.
