Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Teamson Home Cascading Bowls and Stacked Stones LED Outdoor Water Fountain. This manual will guide you through the installation, operation, and maintenance to ensure you get the most out of your new outdoor feature. Please read all instructions thoroughly before proceeding.
Setup Guide
1. Unpacking
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Inspect all parts for any damage. If any parts are missing or damaged, do not proceed with assembly and contact customer support.
- Retain packaging materials until assembly is complete and the fountain is functioning correctly.
2. Assembly
The fountain comes with a submersible pump, solar panel, and lithium backup battery. Assembly is straightforward:
- Connect the pump to the tubing located inside the fountain. Ensure a secure fit.
- Place the pump inside the water reservoir at the base of the fountain.
- Fill the fountain with clean water, ensuring the pump is fully submerged. The fountain can hold up to 2 gallons of water.
- Connect the solar panel cable to the fountain's power input.
- Locate the ON/OFF switch on the solar panel and turn it to the 'ON' position to begin charging.

3. Placement
- Choose a location for your fountain that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal solar panel charging.
- Place the fountain on a stable, level surface to ensure proper water flow and prevent tipping.
- The solar panel comes with a 78-inch long cord, allowing flexible placement for maximum sun exposure.
Operating Instructions
1. Powering On
- Once the solar panel is connected and in direct sunlight, the internal lithium backup battery will begin to charge.
- The fountain will operate during daylight hours when sufficient sunlight is available.
- When fully charged, the fountain can run for approximately 4 to 5 hours at night, providing ambient LED lighting and continuous water flow.

2. Water Level Management
- Regularly check the water level in the fountain, especially during hot or windy weather, as evaporation will occur.
- Ensure the water level is always sufficient to completely submerge the pump. Operating the pump without adequate water can cause damage.
- Refill with clean water as needed.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your fountain.
1. Cleaning
- Weekly: Check for debris (leaves, dirt) and remove them. Top off water levels.
- Monthly: Drain the fountain and clean all surfaces with a soft brush and mild, non-abrasive soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Clean the pump by disconnecting it and removing any buildup from the impeller and intake screen.
2. Water Care
- To minimize mineral deposits and algae growth, consider using distilled water or a fountain algaecide (follow product instructions for dosage).
- Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the polyresin material.
3. Winterization (for freezing climates)
- Before the first frost, completely drain all water from the fountain and pump.
- Disconnect the pump and solar panel. Clean and dry them thoroughly.
- Store the fountain, pump, and solar panel indoors in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.
