51026WDGCOPSOL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
If the pump fails to run:
With low ow rate, the pump will spew or “burp”:
• Make sure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Performance
is directly related to the amount and strength of sunlight received.
• See solar panel troubleshooting. You may need to boost charge
or replace the battery.
• Check tubing for kinks and obstructions.
• Check connections between pump and panel and battery.
• Clean pump as described below.
• Check the water level to make sure the pump is completely
submerged, water should always be above the min ll line (not
all water features include min ll line).
If abnormal noise is heard during operation (with water):
• Disconnect the power supply and then remove the pump front
cover and impeller cover.
• Use hand to grip the impeller, gently pull the impeller/rotor
assembly out of the pump housing.
• Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and the cavity with clean water.
You may also use a soft brush to clean pump surfaces.
If breakage or surface damage is found in the assembly contact
Customer Support for a part replacement.

WATER FEATURE WARNINGS & SOLAR
PANEL TROUBLESHOOTING
• Distilled water is recommended to reduce mineral
deposits, bacteria build up and algae that may damage
the water feature basin and pump.

What should I consider when selecting a water feature?
In addition to your personal style tastes, be sure you have an area for your
water feature that can be safely exposed to water, as splashing can occur.
Also take into consideration what a water feature can add to your
Can my water feature be left outside over winter?
This water feature is rated for outdoor use; however certain weather
conditions may adversely aect your water feature. If the temperature in
your region is at risk of dropping below 33° F, your water feature should
be “winterized” before the cold weather arrives. To winterize:
1. Fully drain your water feature of all water.
2. Disconnect the hoses, pumps, solar panel and lights.
3. Clean all components thoroughly, paying special attention to the
pump to prevent residue build-up.
4. Allow all parts to dry.
5. Store parts and water feature in a safe, weather-free environment.
What kind of water should I use in my water feature?
The best water for your water feature is distilled water. This can help
prevent and reduce bacteria and algae buildup. If you do not use distilled
water, more maintenance will be necessary to keep the water feature clean.
How do I clean my water feature?
Oils, dirts, and algae can all build up on the water feature over time. The
best way to restore your water feature to its original state is to empty all
the water from the water feature and use a mild soap (like dish detergent)
and an acrylic brush to clean all the parts.

How much water do I need to keep in the water feature?
How often will I need to ll my water feature?
I cannot nd my installation instructions. Where can I nd another
My pump is making a loud noise. How do I x that?
Where possible in our water features, we have included ll lines to help
you visualize the water level required for proper function. If your water
feature does not include ll lines, please check the instruction manual for
water capacity. The most important aspect to keeping your water feature
functioning is to insure the pump is submerged in water at all times to
prevent damage to the pump.
Over time, the water level in your water feature will recede. This is due to
evaporation, and the speed at which your water feature will need to be
lled depends greatly on your environment- the humidity, if your water
feature is in the sun, how often you run the water feature, etc. We
recommend checking the water level before running the water feature to
insure the pump is submerged in water.

1. Be sure the pump is fully submerged in water. If it is not, and pulling
in air, it will make unwanted noise.
2. Check to make sure the pump is not touching the water feature
anywhere other than the bottom. If it is up against the side wall or
another part, the vibration from the pump can cause unwanted noise.
If moving the pump away from other parts does not work, try placing a
sponge or other soft material between these areas to pad the pump.
How do I change my pump speed?
You cannot adjust the pump speed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSCONTINUED
How do I level the water feature?
My tube is too long. What can be done to x this?
For the water to ow properly, it is critical the water feature is level. If
your water feature will be placed in an area with uneven ground, use a
level and leveling shims to help level the water feature. Shims are
wedge-shaped plastic parts that can be placed between the water feature
and the ground to create a level surface.
The hose can be cut with a sharp blade or pair of scissors to the desired
length.
SOLAR:
How long should I expect the water feature to run o of the solar
panel?
The rechargeable battery should last up to six hours with a full charge.
Performance is directly related to the amount and strength of sunlight
received. Solar fountains will perform best in the summer months.
Does the solar panel have to be attached to the pump to charge?
No. Placing the solar panel anywhere in the sun will allow for charge.
Can lights be turned o separately from the water feature?
The lights on solar fountains cannot be turned o separately.
