FAQs

How long does the battery last at night?

Once fully charged, the battery can power the pump and LED lights for approximately 2 hours in cloudy conditions. It can operate for up to 5 hours at night if charged sufficiently through the day.

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

The solar panel takes approximately 2 hours of full sun to fully charge the battery.

Do I need to connect it to a mains power supply?

No, this is a solar-powered water feature and does not require any mains water feed or difficult wiring.

What is the maximum height the water can be pumped?

The pump has a maximum height of 75cm.

How do I check the battery status?

The battery status is indicated by a color on the back of the solar panel: Red means it needs charging, Yellow means it is half charged, and Green means it is fully charged.

Can I use this water feature indoors?

This feature is designed for outdoor use and requires direct sunlight for its solar operation. It is not recommended for indoor use.

What maintenance is required?

Regular cleaning of the feature and pump intake is recommended. Ensure the water level is maintained to keep the pump submerged. Clean the solar panel periodically.

Troubleshooting

Water feature not operating

Ensure the solar panel is in direct, full sunlight. Check that the pump is fully submerged in water. Verify the battery status indicator; if Red, it needs charging. Ensure the on/off button on the solar panel is in the 'on' position.

Weak water flow

Check the pump intake for blockages (leaves, debris). Ensure the solar panel is receiving sufficient sunlight. The battery may be low; allow more time for charging. Verify the pump flow rate setting.

LED lights not working

Confirm the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight for charging. Check the on/off button on the solar panel. The battery may be depleted; allow the unit to charge in the sun.

Battery not holding charge

Ensure the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions. Prolonged periods of low sunlight will affect charging capacity. Ensure the panel is correctly positioned to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day.
