FAQs

How much water does the fountain hold?

The product description does not specify the exact water capacity, but it operates by recycling the water added to its basin. Ensure enough water is added to fully submerge the pump.

Does this fountain require batteries?

No, this fountain is solar-powered and does not require batteries. It runs directly from the energy captured by its attached solar panel.

Can I leave the fountain on overnight?

No, the fountain operates solely on solar power. It will only run when there is sufficient sunlight and will stop automatically at night or during cloudy conditions.

What are the dimensions of the fountain?

The fountain measures approximately 51 cm in height and 31 cm in width.

Is the fountain difficult to assemble?

The fountain is designed for easy installation due to its lightweight resin construction and solar panel on a ground stake. Assembly is typically straightforward following the included instructions.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly check and top up the water level, clean the fountain and solar panel periodically, and consider draining and storing it during freezing weather.

What is the fountain made of?

The fountain is crafted from durable, lightweight resin.

Troubleshooting

Fountain not operating

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the water level is sufficient to submerge the pump. Verify all connections are secure.

Weak or intermittent water flow

This is likely due to insufficient sunlight. Move the fountain to a sunnier spot or wait for clearer weather. Clean the pump intake for any blockages.

Water level drops quickly

Check for any leaks in the resin. Ensure the fountain is placed on a level surface. Evaporation will naturally occur, so regular topping up is necessary.

Solar panel not charging

Clean the surface of the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure it is not obstructed by leaves or debris. Test in direct sunlight for an extended period.
