Troubleshooting

Fountain not spraying

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check the pump intake for any obstructions and clear them. Verify the fountain is floating freely and not weighed down.

Weak spray output

Clean the solar panel thoroughly. Move the fountain to a location with more direct sunlight. Ensure the pump intake is clear.

Fountain not floating correctly
