Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your fountain, connect the solar pump to the water wheel mechanism and place the solar panel in a south-facing position where it will receive maximum daily sun. Ensure the basin is filled with enough water to fully submerge the pump intake; operating the pump dry can cause permanent damage to the motor. For care and maintenance, clean the solar panel periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris that might impede efficiency. During winter months or periods of freezing temperatures, it is recommended to drain the fountain completely and store the pump indoors to prevent ice from damaging the internal components.
