FAQs

Can I place the fountain in a shaded part of my garden?

Yes, this is a key feature. The solar panel is separate and connected by a cable, allowing you to place the panel in sunlight while the fountain itself is located in a shaded area.

Yes, thanks to the built-in battery backup, the fountain can operate on cloudy days and during the evening, even when solar power generation is minimal or none.

How do I protect the fountain from winter frost?

It is essential to drain the entire product and store it indoors during cold weather. Frost can cause significant damage to the fountain's components.

Regularly clean the pump intake and fountain bowls to prevent blockages and ensure optimal water flow. Keep the water reservoir topped up.

What are the dimensions of the fountain?

The fountain measures approximately H98 x 48cm in diameter.

No, the fountain is solar-powered with a built-in battery backup, eliminating the need for mains electricity.

Troubleshooting

Fountain not operating

Ensure the solar panel is correctly connected and positioned in sunlight. Check the water level in the reservoir. Verify the remote control batteries are functional and the unit is within range. Test the timer settings.

Weak or intermittent water flow

Clean the pump intake for any blockages (leaves, debris). Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Check that the water level is adequate.
