  1. Step 1

    Check your kit and water feature

    Inspect the pump, panel and cable before assembly. Stop if a cable is cut or the panel is cracked. Fill the basin with clean water and choose a position that keeps the spray inside the basin.

  5. Step 5

    Start the pump and adjust the spray

    Test in strong direct sunlight. Check that the spray returns to the basin and that the water level stays above the sensor. If flow is weak, remove the nozzle to test the pump, then clean the filter and check the connections.

FAQ

Setup & Power

Which product does this support page cover?

12W 160GPH Solar Fountain Pump. Match the wattage, pump version and battery configuration to the label on your kit. Different colors and kit revisions can use different parts.

Will this pump run at night?

No. This kit runs from direct sunlight and has no battery included. Expect reduced or intermittent flow in weak light and no operation after sunset.

Why does the pump stop when the panel is shaded?

Solar output drops when a tree, railing, cloud or other object shades the panel. Move the panel into full, direct outdoor sunlight and clean its surface. Intermittent spray in weak sunlight can be normal for a direct-solar kit.

Can I put the solar panel behind a window?

Place the panel outdoors in direct sunlight. A bright room or sunlight filtered through glass may not provide enough usable power for reliable operation.

Where should I position the pump and nozzle?

Keep the entire pump under water and the nozzle outlet above the surface. Place the inlet away from silt and loose debris. Use only the extension parts shown in your manual, and keep the spray within the basin.
