FAQs

Does the fountain work on cloudy days?

The fountain's operation is dependent on sunlight. While it may operate at a reduced flow on very bright, overcast days, it performs best in direct sunlight.

How often do I need to add water?

This depends on evaporation rates, which vary with temperature and wind. Check the water level daily initially and top up as needed to keep the pump submerged.

Can I leave the fountain out in winter?

It is recommended to drain the fountain and store it indoors during freezing temperatures to prevent damage caused by ice expansion.

What kind of maintenance does the solar panel require?

Simply wipe the solar panel with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust or debris, ensuring it can absorb maximum sunlight.

Is the pump powerful enough for a strong flow?

The pump provides a gentle, natural flow suitable for the rock fall design. The strength of the flow is directly related to the intensity of sunlight hitting the solar panel.

What material is the fountain made from?

The fountain is constructed from a durable yet lightweight combination of resin and stone materials.

Troubleshooting

Fountain not operating

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the pump is submerged in water and the connections are secure. Verify that the water level is adequate.

Weak water flow

Clean the pump's filter for any blockages. Ensure the solar panel is clean and in full sun. Check for any kinks or obstructions in the water flow path.

Pump making noise

Confirm the pump is fully submerged in water. Debris in the pump can also cause noise; clean the pump impeller if accessible.

Algae or debris in water

Empty the fountain and clean the reservoir thoroughly with a mild detergent or vinegar solution. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn residue. Refill with fresh water.
