How does the solar panel work?

Solar panels generally save you money on your electricity bill. The solar panel needs to be placed in the direction facing the sun to maximise its exposure to sunlight, simply hook it up to your feature pump via the included 5m and you’ll be all set. For best results, keep your solar panels clean to keep them producing as much energy as possible.

How does the battery backup work?

The battery backup included will store solar energy when the sun is shining which can then be used in overcast, dark conditions or at night. You can also use a DC power supply to charge up the battery if there have been several days of overcast weather.

What happens if the pump stops?

Feature pumps can become blocked, so it's a good idea to regularly check for any debris, to make sure your pump remains in optimum working condition. They also feature dry run protection where two sensors on the inside of the pump will only allow the unit to start once it's fully submerged. You should clean the pump regularly to prevent the pump from being clogged with dust and dirt.

Please note: The impeller in this pump is a consumable part. With this being the only moving part of your pond pump, it is exposed to a lot of friction which can cause it to wear down and break over time. This component is not covered by the guarantee and can be purchased as and when required.
