Setup Instructions
- Assemble the Pump: Attach the desired spray nozzle to the pump outlet. For custom water projects, connect the 5ft tubing instead of a nozzle.
- Position the Pump: Place the pump completely submerged in water. Ensure the water level is sufficient to cover the pump. The floating sponge can be used to keep the pump suspended if needed.
- Position the Solar Panel:
- Connect the solar panel cable to the pump.
- Mount the solar panel using the provided ground stake in an area that receives direct sunlight for most of the day.
- Ensure no shadows fall on the solar panel, as this will reduce pump performance.
- Verify Operation: Once the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight and the pump is submerged, the pump should begin operating, creating a water flow or fountain effect.

Operating Instructions
The Biling 7.5W Solar Water Pump operates directly from sunlight. No external power source or battery is required for its basic function.
- Sunlight Dependency: The pump's performance is directly proportional to the intensity of direct sunlight. It will spray powerfully in direct sunlight and may operate weakly or stop in cloudy conditions or shade.
- Automatic Operation: The pump will automatically start when sufficient sunlight hits the solar panel and stop when sunlight is insufficient.
- Dry-Run Protection: The pump is equipped with dry-run protection. If the water level drops too low, the pump will automatically shut off to prevent damage. Refill the water feature to resume operation.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your solar water pump.
- Clean the Filter Sponge: The pump includes a filter sponge to prevent debris from entering. Clean the filter regularly (e.g., every few days) to ensure unobstructed water flow. Remove the pump from the water, detach the filter, rinse it thoroughly under clean water, and reassemble.
- Keep Water Clean: Maintain clean water in your bird bath or pond to minimize clogging of the pump and filter.
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may reduce its efficiency.
- Winter Storage: In freezing conditions, remove the pump and solar panel from the water and store them indoors to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
If your solar water pump is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
