Can this fountain be used indoors?

Troubleshooting
Fountain not operating
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the water level is sufficient and the pump is submerged. Verify the battery backup is charged. Ensure all connections are secure.
Weak water flow
This is often due to insufficient sunlight. Move the fountain to a sunnier location or wait for clearer weather. Check the pump intake for blockages and clean if necessary.
LED lights not working
Check if the lights are switched on (if applicable). Ensure the solar panel has been charged for an adequate period. Clean the solar panel and check for any visible damage.
Water level dropping quickly
Ensure there are no leaks in the reservoir. Evaporation is normal, especially in warm, sunny conditions; top up the water regularly.
