5. Operating Instructions
The AISITIN Solar Fountain Pump offers two operating modes:
- Automatic Mode: In this mode, the fountain will operate with a water jet during daylight hours when sufficient sunlight is available. The LED lights will remain off during the day. The internal battery will charge. After sunset, the fountain will continue to operate, and the LED lights will automatically illuminate, cycling through various colors for up to 6 hours, depending on the battery charge.
- Night Mode: When selected, the fountain will not operate during the day, and the LED lights will remain off. The solar panel will focus solely on charging the internal battery. At night, the fountain will activate, and the LED lights will turn on, providing a colorful display for up to 6 hours. This mode is ideal for maximizing night operation.
To switch between modes, locate the mode selection switch on the side of the solar panel and slide it to your desired setting.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your solar fountain pump.
- Clean the Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
- Clean the Filter Box: The integrated filtration box can accumulate debris. Regularly remove the pump and clean the filter to prevent blockages and maintain water flow.
- Check Water Level: Ensure the water level in your bird bath or pond is always sufficient to fully submerge the pump. Operating the pump dry can cause damage.
- Winter Storage: In freezing conditions, remove the fountain pump from the water, clean it thoroughly, and store it in a dry, frost-free location.
7. Troubleshooting
If your solar fountain pump is not operating as expected, consider the following common issues:
- No Spray or Weak Spray:
- Insufficient Sunlight: The fountain requires direct and strong sunlight to operate effectively, especially for the pump. Cloudy days or shaded areas will reduce performance.
- Blocked Water Inlet/Nozzle: Check if the pump's water inlet or the nozzle is clogged with debris (leaves, dirt, algae). Clean thoroughly.
- Low Water Level: Ensure the pump is fully submerged. The water-shortage protection feature will activate if the water level is too low.
- Dirty Solar Panel: A dirty solar panel reduces power generation. Clean the panel surface.
- LED Lights Not Working at Night:
- Insufficient Charge: The battery may not have received enough sunlight during the day to charge adequately. Ensure the solar panel is in direct sunlight for several hours.
- Mode Setting: Confirm the fountain is set to either 'Automatic Mode' or 'Night Mode' for night operation with LEDs.
- Fountain Drifts or Splashes Excessively:
- Stabilizer Arms Not Used/Adjusted: Attach and adjust the retractable stabilizer arms to secure the fountain in place and prevent it from moving to the edge of the basin.
- Nozzle Choice: Some nozzles produce a higher or wider spray. Select a nozzle appropriate for the size of your container to minimize splashing.
