Troubleshooting

Solar fountain not working or weak flow.

Check if the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Ensure the pump intake is not blocked by debris or algae. Clean the pump impeller if necessary.

Pool water becoming cloudy or green.

Ensure you have adequate aquatic plants to help filter the water. Check for excessive organic debris. Consider adding a small amount of pond-safe beneficial bacteria or partially refreshing the water.

Wildlife not visiting the pool.

Ensure the wildlife ladder is accessible. Provide adequate surrounding cover such as dense planting. Avoid using pesticides nearby. Be patient, as it can take time for wildlife to discover and become accustomed to a new water source.
