3. Setup and Installation
- Assemble the Solar Panel: Attach the fixed stakes to the solar panel. The panel can be installed on the ground using the stakes or mounted on a wall/fence.
- Position the Solar Panel: Place the solar panel in an area that receives direct sunlight for most of the day. Ensure no shadows fall on the panel, as this will affect pump performance. The 5m cable provides flexibility for optimal panel placement.
- Prepare the Pump: Submerge the water pump completely in water. Ensure the water level is sufficient to cover the pump.
- Connect the Water Pipe: Attach the 1.5m water pipe to the pump's outlet.
- Select and Attach Nozzle (Optional): Choose a desired nozzle from the assortment. The nozzles feature a clip-on design for easy attachment and removal.
- For small bird baths, it is recommended to operate the pump without a nozzle to prevent excessive water splashing and loss.
- Connect Solar Panel to Pump: Connect the cable from the solar panel to the water pump. The pump will start operating automatically once the solar panel receives sufficient sunlight.

4. Operation
The AISITIN Solar Fountain Pump is designed for automatic operation. It will begin pumping water when the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight. The intensity of the spray will vary with the amount of sunlight received.
4.1 Adjusting Water Intake
The pump features an adjustable switch to control the water intake, allowing you to regulate the flow rate. This can be useful for different water feature sizes or desired spray heights.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity 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.
- Clean the Pump Filter: The pump is equipped with a special filter nozzle designed to trap impurities. Disassemble and clean the filter regularly to prevent blockages and maintain water flow.
- Maintain Water Level: Ensure the water level in your pond or bird bath is always sufficient to fully submerge the pump. Running the pump dry can cause damage.
- Winter Storage: In freezing conditions, remove the pump from the water and store it indoors to prevent damage from ice.
