FAQs

How tall is the water feature?

The water feature stands at approximately 50cm tall.

What material is the water feature made from?

It is crafted from durable, weather-resistant polyresin.

Does the water feature work at night or on cloudy days?

Yes, it has a backup battery that allows it to operate even in low sunlight or at night, provided the battery has been sufficiently charged by the solar panel.

What is the IP rating of the water feature?

The water feature has an IP44 rating, indicating it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction.

How often should I check the water level?

It is recommended to check the water level regularly, especially during warmer weather or if the feature is in a sunny spot, to ensure the pump remains fully submerged.

What kind of maintenance does it require?

Regular maintenance includes topping up water levels, cleaning the reservoir and pump to prevent debris and algae, and protecting it from frost during winter.

Is assembly complicated?

Setup is straightforward. It involves positioning the feature, connecting the solar panel, filling with water, and allowing the battery to charge. No complex tools are typically required.

Troubleshooting

Water feature is not operating

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check all cable connections between the panel and the pump. Verify the water level is sufficient to submerge the pump. If the backup battery is used, ensure it has had sufficient charge time.

Weak or intermittent water flow

Clean the pump intake for any blockages (leaves, debris). Check that the water level is adequate. Ensure the solar panel is optimally positioned for sunlight. The backup battery may need more charging time if the unit has been in low light for a while.

Water appears cloudy or develops algae

Empty the feature, clean the reservoir, pump, and all parts thoroughly with a soft brush and mild detergent. Refill with fresh water. Consider using a water treatment solution designed for garden water features. Ensure adequate water circulation.

Solar panel not charging the battery

Clean the surface of the solar panel. Make sure the panel is directly facing the sun and is not shaded. Check the connection cable for any damage. In very prolonged low-light conditions, the battery may take a long time to recharge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a charming, rustic aesthetic to any garden.
  • Creates a relaxing atmosphere with gentle water sounds.
  • Eco-friendly and cost-efficient operation via solar power.
  • Backup battery ensures operation even with less sunlight.
  • Durable construction suitable for year-round outdoor placement.
  • Easy to integrate into various garden settings like lawns, patios, or decking.

Cons

  • Solar panel efficiency can be affected by shading or prolonged cloudy weather.
  • Backup battery may not fully compensate for very low light conditions over extended periods.
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain optimal performance and water flow.
  • Water flow is dependent on the pump's power, which is solar-driven.
  • Polyresin, while durable, can be brittle if dropped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components carefully.
  2. Position the water feature in your desired outdoor location, ensuring it is on a level surface.
  3. Place the solar panel where it will receive direct sunlight for most of the day. Connect the solar panel to the water feature pump using the provided cable.
  4. Fill the base reservoir with clean water, ensuring the pump is fully submerged.
  5. Allow the solar panel to charge the battery for several hours in direct sunlight before initial operation.

Compatibility:

  • The water feature is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most garden environments (lawns, patios, decking).
  • The solar panel requires a location with unobstructed sunlight. Ensure there are no nearby trees or structures that cast significant shade.

Care:

  • Water Level: Regularly check and top up the water level to ensure the pump remains submerged and does not run dry.
  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the reservoir, pump, and duck figures to prevent algae buildup and maintain water clarity. Use a soft brush and mild soapy water, rinsing thoroughly.
  • Pump Maintenance: Check the pump intake for debris (leaves, dirt) and clean as necessary to ensure optimal flow.
  • Winter Care: It is recommended to empty the feature and bring it indoors or cover it during freezing weather to prevent damage.
