FAQs
Does this require any wiring?
No, the unit is fully solar-powered and uses a battery backup system, so no electrical installation is required.
Can I leave this out during winter?
It is recommended to bring the unit indoors or store it in a dry shed during winter to protect the pump and body from frost damage.
How often should I clean the fountain?
You should check it weekly for debris. A full cleaning every 4-6 weeks will keep the pump running efficiently.
What is the primary power source?
The primary source is the integrated solar panel, supported by a rechargeable battery backup.
Is the ball replaceable if damaged?
The ball is designed as an integrated part of the water feature's decorative assembly and is not typically sold as a standalone replacement part.
Troubleshooting
Water is not flowing properly
Check if the pump intake is blocked by debris or leaves and clean it thoroughly.
Pump is making a loud noise
Ensure the water level is high enough to fully submerge the pump; trapped air in the housing often causes cavitation noise.
Feature stops working when cloudy
The battery may be depleted; allow the unit to charge in full, direct sunlight for one full day before resuming use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Elephant with Ball water feature is straightforward. Place the unit on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping or uneven water distribution. Ensure the solar panel is positioned toward the south or the area receiving the most intense sunlight throughout the day. Compatibility is universal as it is a self-contained unit; no additional plumbing or electrical work is needed. For maintenance, periodically rinse the basin to remove organic debris like leaves or dirt. During winter months or freezing conditions, it is recommended to drain the water and store the feature in a sheltered location to prevent the pump from seizing or the resin structure from cracking due to frost expansion.
