The solar panel features a durable construction with tempered glass, a solar wafer, TPT backplane, and a strong aluminum shell. The water pump incorporates a brushless motor with a filter sponge and a water sensor for dry-run protection, enhancing its service life.
Setup Instructions
1. Solar Irrigation System Setup
- Solar Panel Placement: Position the solar panel in a location that receives direct sunlight for most of the day. Use the provided ground stake to secure it. Ensure the panel is angled for optimal sun exposure.
- Controller Connection: Connect the solar panel cable to the 'Solar panel connection cable' port on the controller.
- Water Source Connection: Place the filter end of the water inlet hose into your water reservoir (e.g., bucket, tank). Connect the other end to the 'In: Water Inlet' port on the controller.
- Water Level Sensor: Connect the water level sensor cable to its designated port on the controller. Place the sensor in the water reservoir to prevent dry running.
- Drip Line Installation: Connect the main water hose to the 'Out: Water Outlet' port. Route the hose to your plants. Use T-connectors to branch off smaller tubes to individual drippers. Insert drippers into the soil near the base of each plant. Ensure the anti-siphon device is installed correctly to prevent backflow.
- Initial Charge: Allow the solar panel to charge the internal battery for at least 6-8 hours in direct sunlight before first use.

2. Solar Fountain Pump Setup
- Assemble Pump: Attach the desired nozzle and extension rods to the water pump.
- Floating Board (Optional): If using in a pond or larger water body, attach the pump to the floating board to allow it to float on the water surface.
- Placement: Place the assembled pump into your bird bath, pond, or water feature, ensuring it is fully submerged in water.
- Solar Panel Connection: Connect the solar panel cable to the water pump. Position the solar panel in direct sunlight. The pump will begin operating once sufficient sunlight is received.
Operating Instructions
1. Solar Irrigation System Operation
- Power On/Off: Long press the 'SET' button for 3 seconds to turn the system on or off.
- Set Interval Time: With the system on, press the 'SET' button briefly until 'Interval Time' is displayed. Use the '+' button to adjust the desired interval (e.g., 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours).
- Set Watering Time: Press the 'SET' button again briefly until 'Watering Time' is displayed. Use the '+' button to adjust the duration of watering (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes).
- Automatic Operation: Once settings are configured, the system will automatically water your plants according to the programmed schedule. The 3600mAh battery backup ensures operation even during cloudy periods or at night.
- Water Output: The system delivers 800-900ml of water per minute and can support automatic watering for up to 30 pots.
2. Solar Fountain Pump Operation
- Automatic Activation: The fountain pump will automatically start operating when the solar panel receives sufficient sunlight. The integrated battery backup allows for continuous operation even when sunlight is intermittent.
- Changing Spray Patterns: To change the spray pattern, remove the pump from the water and replace the current nozzle with a different one from the provided set.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the product's lifespan.
- Clean 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 Pump Filter: For both systems, regularly remove and clean the pump filter sponges to prevent blockages and maintain water flow. Rinse them under clean water.
- Check Tubing and Drippers: For the irrigation system, inspect tubing and drippers for any blockages, kinks, or leaks. Clear any obstructions to ensure even water distribution.
- Water Reservoir: Ensure the water reservoir is kept clean and free of algae or debris that could clog the pump or filter.
- Winterization: In freezing climates, disconnect and drain both systems before the first frost. Store components indoors in a dry, protected area to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Irrigation System not watering / Fountain Pump not running | Insufficient sunlight Low battery charge Water level too low Pump/filter clogged System turned off | Ensure solar panel is in direct sunlight. Allow solar panel to charge battery. Refill water reservoir. Clean pump and filter. Long press 'SET' button to turn on. |
| Low water flow / Weak spray | Clogged filter/nozzle Kinked tubing Insufficient water in reservoir | Clean filter and nozzle. Straighten tubing. Check and refill water reservoir. |
| Controller not responding (Irrigation System) | Low battery Loose connection | Ensure solar panel is charging the battery. Check all cable connections. |
| Water leakage (Irrigation System) | Loose tubing connections Damaged tubing/dripper | Secure all tubing connections. Inspect and replace damaged components. |
