Maintenance

  • Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, debris, or mineral buildup. A clean panel ensures optimal energy conversion.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible Cause / Solution
Light Flickering or Not Working
  • Ensure the unit is properly paired with the remote. After turning on the light with the side button, press the [ON] button on the remote each time for smooth use.
  • If the light was turned off with [OFF] on the remote, the light sensor is paused. Press [ON] on the remote again or long-press the light's side button to restart it.
No Auto Light at Night

  • If it stays off, press [ON] on the remote and test again.
  • Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving adequate direct sunlight during the day.
Weak or No Water Spray
  • Check for blockages in the fountain heads or the return jet connection.
