Setup Instructions

1. Choose a Nozzle: Select your desired spray nozzle from the 6 interchangeable options. Attach it firmly to the pump outlet.
2. Place in Water: Gently place the solar fountain pump into your bird bath, pond, or pool. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and floating freely.
3. Ensure Direct Sunlight: Position the fountain so that the solar panel faces direct sunlight. The pump will start operating within 3 seconds under sufficient sunlight.
4. Remove Air: If the pump does not start immediately or sprays intermittently, shake the product up and down forcefully while submerged, or press it into the water to discharge any trapped air from the pump.

Operating Instructions

The solar fountain pump is designed for automatic operation:

• Solar Power: The pump will automatically start spraying water when the solar panel receives sufficient direct sunlight.
• Battery Operation: The integrated 1200mAh rechargeable battery stores energy during sunny periods. This allows the pump to continue operating for 3-4 hours during cloudy days or after sunset, ensuring continuous water flow.
• Nozzle Selection: You can change the spray pattern and height by interchanging the nozzles. Experiment with different nozzles to achieve your desired water display.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your solar fountain pump:

• Clean Pump and Panel: Periodically clean the pump inlet and the surface of the solar panel to remove dirt, dust, leaves, or other debris. A filter box is built-in to block dirt, but regular cleaning is still necessary.
• Check for Blockages: Inspect the pump for any blockages, especially if the water spray becomes weak or stops. Clear any debris from the pump impeller.
• Maintain Water Level: Ensure the water level in your bird bath or pond is always sufficient to keep the pump fully submerged.

Troubleshooting

If your solar fountain pump is not working or spraying intermittently, try the following steps:

• No Direct Sunlight: Ensure the fountain is placed in an area that receives direct and unobstructed sunlight. The pump will not work in shadows or under cloudy conditions without sufficient battery charge.
• Insufficient Water: Verify that there is enough clean water in the basin to at least float the product and fully submerge the pump.
• Debris Blockage: Check if there are fallen leaves, dirt, or other debris blocking the pump inlet or nozzle. Clean any obstructions.
• Air in Pump: If the pump is new or has been out of water, shake the product up and down forcefully before use, and press the product into the water to discharge any air trapped in the pump.
• Low Battery: If operating on battery power, ensure the battery has had sufficient time to charge in direct sunlight.
