FAQs
Does this water feature require electricity?
No, this water feature is solar-powered and does not require mains electricity. It has a solar panel with a built-in battery backup.
How long does the battery backup last?
The battery backup allows the feature to operate on cloudy days. The exact duration it can run without direct sunlight depends on how well the battery has been charged by previous sun exposure.
What is the best location for the solar panel?
The solar panel should be placed in a location that receives direct sunlight for the majority of the day to ensure optimal charging of the battery.
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 submerged. Evaporation will cause the water level to decrease over time.

What are the dimensions of the water feature?
The dimensions are 23cm (width) x 15cm (depth) x 50cm (height).
What maintenance is required?
Regular maintenance includes checking and topping up the water level, cleaning the reservoir, pump, and tiers to prevent algae, and ensuring the pump intake is clear of debris.
Troubleshooting
Water feature not operating
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the pump is fully submerged in water. Verify the battery has been charged. Ensure all connections are secure.
