FAQs

How long will the LED lights stay on at night?

With a full charge from direct sunlight, the integrated LED lights are designed to illuminate for approximately 3 to 4 hours.

Do I need to connect this to a power outlet?

No, this water feature is solar-powered and does not require any connection to a mains power outlet. It comes with a solar panel and integrated batteries.

How often should I add water?

You should check the water level regularly, especially during warm or windy weather, and top up as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged and operates efficiently.

Can I use tap water in the feature?

Yes, tap water is suitable. However, to prevent excessive build-up of mineral deposits or algae, it is advisable to clean the feature periodically and consider using filtered water if your tap water is particularly hard.

What happens if it's cloudy?

The integrated battery in the solar kit provides power for the pump and lights even during passing clouds, ensuring more consistent operation. However, prolonged overcast periods will reduce the operational time and intensity of the water flow and lights.

Is this water feature suitable for winter?

This water feature is primarily designed for summer use. Performance may be reduced in colder months. It is recommended to empty, clean, and store the pump indoors during winter to protect it from frost.

How do I clean the solar panel?

Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the surface and reduce its efficiency.

Troubleshooting

Water feature not operating

Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Check that the pump is fully submerged in water. Verify the cable connection between the pump and the solar panel is secure. Ensure the on/off switch for the lights is not preventing pump operation (if applicable).

LED lights not working

Check the LED light switch is in the 'on' position. Ensure the solar panel has had sufficient time to charge the integrated battery. Clean the solar panel surface to maximize sunlight absorption.

Low water flow

Top up the water reservoir to the recommended level. Clean the pump intake and impeller for any blockages. Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for optimal pump performance.

Pump making unusual noise

Ensure the pump is fully submerged. Check the pump intake and impeller for debris that might be causing obstruction or imbalance. Disconnect power and carefully inspect the pump.
