How long does the battery last?

Does it need to be wired to an electrical outlet?

No, this is a completely solar-powered unit and requires no external electricity.

What should I do if the pump leaves the water?

The pump has built-in automatic power-off protection and will shut down to prevent damage.

How often should I clean the pump?

It is recommended to clean the pump regularly, ideally once a week, to prevent clogging from dust and debris.

What type of battery does it use?

It uses an 18650 lithium battery, which is integrated into the system.

Troubleshooting

The fountain stops spraying water.

Check the pump filter for debris or clogs. Rinse the pump under clean water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your fountain, submerge the pump fully in water and secure the solar panel in a sunny, unobstructed location. Ensure the connection between the pump and the panel is firm.

Maintenance is critical for the longevity of this unit. Because the pump intake is small, debris such as leaves, dirt, and algae can easily clog the mechanism. It is recommended to remove the pump from the water weekly and rinse the casing under a tap. During winter months or if the fountain will not be used for an extended period, remove the unit from the water, dry the solar panel, and store it in a cool, indoor environment to preserve the life of the internal lithium battery.
