FAQs

Does this fountain work at night or on cloudy days?

No, this fountain is powered entirely by direct sunlight and will only operate when the solar panel is receiving sufficient light. It does not have a battery backup for operation at night or during overcast conditions.

What is the maximum fountain height?

The Smart Garden Solar Sunjet 300 can achieve a fountain height of up to 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) in optimal sunlight conditions.

How do I clean the pump?

Periodically remove the pump from the water. Gently detach any protective covers and clear any debris, such as leaves or algae, from the intake and around the rotor. A soft brush can be helpful.

Can I use this in a salt-water environment?

This product is designed for freshwater use only. Using it in salt water may cause damage and will void the warranty.

What happens if the water level gets too low?

The pump is equipped with intelligent design that prevents damage when water runs low. It will typically shut off automatically to protect the motor.

How much maintenance does the solar panel require?

The solar panel should be kept clean. Wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to remove dust or grime that could reduce its efficiency. Ensure it remains unobstructed by leaves or branches.

Can I customize the fountain spray pattern?

The fountain spray pattern is determined by the nozzle attached to the pump. Depending on the included accessories, different nozzles may offer varied spray effects. Refer to the product packaging for details on included nozzles.

Troubleshooting

Fountain not working

Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct, strong sunlight. Check that the pump is fully submerged and the intake is not blocked by debris. Verify the cable connection between the solar panel and the pump.

Weak water spray

Clean the pump's intake and rotor. Ensure the solar panel is clean and positioned in direct sunlight. The water level may be too low, or the sunlight intensity may be insufficient.

Pump stops intermittently

This could be due to temporary blockage or low water level. Check for debris around the rotor and ensure the water level is adequate. The intelligent protection feature may be activating if debris is present or water is low.

Pump makes unusual noise

Debris may be obstructing the rotor. Carefully remove the pump and clean the intake and rotor area thoroughly.
