FAQs
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
Once fully charged, the battery can power the pump and LED lights for approximately 2 hours, especially in cloudy conditions. Performance may vary based on battery age and conditions.
How long does it take for the battery to fully charge?
The solar panel takes approximately 2 hours of full sun to fully charge the internal battery.
Can I use this water feature without sunlight?
Yes, you can use the feature on battery power alone, which is charged by the solar panel. However, continuous operation without solar charging is limited by the battery's capacity.
What is the pump flow rate?
The pump has an adjustable flow rate of either 180 L/H or 250 L/H.
Do I need to connect it to a mains water supply?
No, this feature does not require a mains water feed. You simply add water directly to the feature.
How do I clean the water feature?
Clean the polyresin surfaces with a damp cloth. Periodically check and clean the pump's intake for debris to ensure proper function.
What happens if the solar panel is not in direct sunlight?
If the solar panel is not in direct sunlight, the pump and lights will rely on battery power. Battery charging will be minimal or non-existent, and performance will be reduced.
Troubleshooting
Water feature not operating
Ensure the solar panel is in direct, full sunlight. Check the battery status indicator on the solar panel; if it's red, the battery needs charging. Verify the on/off switch on the solar panel is in the 'on' position. Make sure the pump is submerged and free of blockages.
Weak water flow or pump stops intermittently
The battery may be low on charge or sunlight is insufficient. Clean the pump's intake screen for any debris. Check that the water level is adequate to fully submerge the pump. The solar panel may need repositioning for better sun exposure.
LED lights not working
Confirm the feature is receiving sufficient charge from the solar panel. Check the on/off switch is correctly set. Ensure the LEDs themselves are not damaged and are properly connected (if applicable).
Battery not holding charge
Ensure the solar panel is kept clean and unobstructed. The battery may require replacement if it's old and no longer holds a sufficient charge after extended periods in full sun.
