FAQs
How long does the battery backup last?
The battery backup is designed to provide continuous operation for several hours after dark, depending on the amount of sunlight the solar panel received during the day for charging.
Do I need to connect this to a power outlet?
No, this water feature is entirely solar-powered with an integrated battery backup, so no external power outlet is required.
Can this water feature be used indoors?
This feature is designed for outdoor use. While it can be operated indoors if placed near a strong light source for charging, it is built to withstand outdoor elements.
How often should I add water?
You should check the water level regularly, especially during hot or windy weather, and top it up as needed to keep the pump fully submerged. Evaporation will cause the water level to drop over time.
What maintenance is required for the solar panel?
The solar panel should be wiped clean with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust, dirt, or bird droppings, which can reduce its charging efficiency.
What material is the water feature made of?
The water feature is made from high-quality, durable polyresin.
Troubleshooting
Water feature is not operating.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check all cable connections are secure. Verify the water level is sufficient to submerge the pump. If the battery is depleted, allow several hours of direct sunlight to recharge.
Low water flow or pump is weak.
Check the pump intake for any debris or blockages. Clean the pump and filter if necessary. Ensure the water reservoir is filled to the correct level.
LED lights are not working.
Confirm the lights are switched on (if applicable). Check the battery charge level. Ensure the connections between the solar panel, battery, and LEDs are secure.
Pump is making unusual noise.
The pump may be running dry or have an obstruction. Check the water level and clear any debris from the pump intake.
