FAQs

How much sunlight does this water feature need to operate?

The water feature requires direct, unobstructed sunlight for several hours each day to power the pump effectively. Performance will vary based on the intensity and duration of sunlight.

Do I need to connect this to an electrical outlet?

No, this is a solar-powered water feature. It runs on energy captured by its integrated solar panel, so no electrical outlet is required.

How often should I refill the water?

The frequency of refilling depends on environmental factors like evaporation due to sun and wind. Check the water level regularly, especially during warmer periods, to ensure the pump remains submerged.

Can this water feature be left outdoors in winter?

It is recommended to drain the water feature completely and store it indoors during freezing temperatures to prevent frost damage to the materials and pump.

What is the material of the water feature?

The water feature is constructed from plastic and resin with a painted finish, designed for durability in outdoor settings.

What does the IP44 rating mean?

An IP44 rating indicates that the product is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use.

How do I clean the water feature?

You can clean the water feature with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. Periodically clean the pump intake to ensure optimal water flow.

Troubleshooting

Water pump not working

Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Check that the pump is fully submerged in water and the intake is not blocked. Clean the solar panel and the pump filter.

Low water flow

Verify the water level is sufficient to keep the pump submerged. Clean any debris from the pump and water channels. Ensure the solar panel is clean and optimally positioned for sunlight.

Water feature stops working after a period

The solar panel may need more direct sunlight. Check for any obstructions around the solar panel or pump. Ensure the water level is maintained.

Resin finish appears faded

This is normal wear for outdoor products exposed to sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For significant fading, consider applying a suitable outdoor sealant (test in an inconspicuous area first).

Care:
