FAQs

How long will the LED lights operate at night?

On a full charge, the integrated batteries allow the LED lights to operate for approximately 3-4 hours at night.

Does the water feature work on mains power?

This specific model is solar-powered. While other Tranquillity water features may offer mains-powered options, this Beaches model relies solely on solar energy.

What maintenance is required for the solar panel?

The solar panel should be kept clean from dust and debris. Gently wipe it with a damp cloth periodically to ensure maximum efficiency.

Can I leave the water feature outside in winter?

It is recommended to drain the water feature and store it indoors during winter months to protect it from frost and prevent damage. The solar panel should also be disconnected and stored.

How do I connect the solar panel to the water feature?

The water feature comes with a 5m low-voltage garden-grade solar cable that connects the pump to the solar panel. An LED converter cable is also provided to power the lights.

Will this water feature work if it's not sunny?

The integrated batteries help to store solar energy, allowing the feature to operate even during intermittent cloud cover. However, prolonged periods without direct sunlight will reduce its operational capacity and charging efficiency.

What is the material of the water feature?

The water feature is crafted from durable resin, designed with natural textures and tones.

Troubleshooting

Water feature is not operating

Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Check that all cable connections are secure. Verify the pump is fully submerged and the water reservoir is filled. Test the on/off switch.

Low water flow or pump not working effectively

Check for any blockages in the pump intake or tubing. Clean the pump filter. Ensure the water level is sufficient to keep the pump submerged.

LED lights are not turning on

Confirm the LED converter cable is properly connected. Ensure the solar panel has had sufficient sunlight to charge the batteries for night operation. Check the on/off switch settings.

Reduced performance during cloudy weather

This is expected. The integrated batteries provide some buffer, but prolonged heavy cloud cover will reduce operational time and pump strength. Repositioning the solar panel for maximum sun exposure can help.

Water feature making unusual noises

Ensure the pump is securely placed and not vibrating against the base of the feature. Check for any debris caught in the impeller. Verify the water level is adequate.

  3. Connecting Components: Connect the solar pump to the solar panel using the provided cable. Connect the LED converter cable to power the feature's lights.
  4. Pump Installation: Submerge the solar pump in the water reservoir of the feature. Ensure it is fully submerged.
  5. Filling with Water: Fill the water feature reservoir with clean water, ensuring the pump is adequately covered.

  • Designed primarily for summer season use. Performance will be reduced in colder months.

Care:

  • Water Level: Regularly check and top up the water level to ensure the pump remains submerged and operates efficiently. Evaporation will occur, especially in warm weather.
  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the water feature to remove debris, algae, and mineral deposits. Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Pump Maintenance: Clean the pump's filter (if accessible) regularly to prevent blockages and maintain optimal water flow. Refer to the pump's specific instructions if available.
  • Winter Care: During colder months, it is recommended to drain the water feature and store it indoors to protect it from frost and potential damage. Disconnect and store the solar panel as well.
