FAQs
Does this pump include a battery?
No, this unit is powered exclusively by the solar panel and does not have an integrated battery for night operation.
Can I use this in a fish tank?
Yes, it is suitable for small fish tanks as it helps with water circulation and oxygenation.
How do I ensure the fountain runs continuously?
The pump only runs when sunlight hits the panel. To keep it running, ensure the panel is placed in a spot that receives constant, direct sunlight throughout the day.
Is the pump waterproof?
Yes, the pump is designed to be fully submersible, while the solar panel must remain above the water line.
Does the pump require any wiring?
No, the system is completely wireless and ready for immediate use once assembled.
Troubleshooting
The pump is not moving water even in sunlight
Check the intake filter for debris or blockages and ensure the pump is fully submerged in the water.
The fountain height is lower than expected
Verify that the solar panel is in direct, unshaded sunlight. Clean the panel surface of any dust or film.
The pump is making a loud noise
Ensure the pump is completely submerged. If the water level is too low, air can enter the intake and cause vibration.
