FAQs

How much sunlight does the solar panel need?

The solar panel requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal operation of the water pump.

What type of plants are best for the planter pockets?

Small herbs, flowers, and trailing plants are ideal. Consider plants like mint, basil, thyme, petunias, or lobelia.

Do I need to connect this to mains electricity?

No, this feature is solar-powered and does not require any mains electricity connection.

How often do I need to add water?

The water level should be checked regularly, especially during warm weather, and topped up as needed to keep the pump submerged.

Can I use this feature indoors?

This feature is designed for outdoor use. Using it indoors may lead to water damage and is not recommended.

How do I clean the water feature?

Empty the water, clean the pump intake of debris, and wipe down the tiers and solar panel with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Will the wood-effect finish peel or fade?

The finish is designed for outdoor use. While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may cause some fading. Regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Water feature not operating

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the pump is fully submerged and not blocked. Verify all connections are secure.

Weak water flow

Clean the pump intake for debris. Check that the solar panel is optimally positioned for sunlight. Ensure the water level is sufficient.

Plants not thriving

Ensure plants are receiving adequate water and appropriate sunlight for their needs. Check planter pockets for drainage.

Wood-effect finish fading

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Consider applying a water-based outdoor sealant for added protection (test in an inconspicuous area first).
