Performance & Overview
The solar pump is designed for use outdoors. In order for the solar pump to operate, the solar
panel needs to be in direct sunlight for optimum charging efficiency.
The electricity generated by the solar panels is supplied to the water pump, and the excess is
stored in the battery. This prevents the feature "cutting out", for example when it gets cloudy.
Place your water feature on a level surface. Fill it with water, ensuring that the pump is fully submerged.
Connect the water pipe. Adjust the pump flow rate to achieve the desired effect by moving the flow rate control
slider. The solar panel needs to be placed in direct sunlight.
Combine your water feature with the solar part of the unit. The pump should start working
immediately.
IMPORTANT!
If you notice there is no water in your feature, disconnect the pump from the solar
panel. Running the pump dry will reduce its life and will lead to a unit failure.
