weather conditions. Leave your water feature off during the day whilst you are out and switch it on
during the evening when you can enjoy it. Your feature will even work when it is dark provided there
is sufficient charge in the battery. Alternatively leave it off for a number of days to ensure the battery
is fully charged for a special event. The battery has sufficient capacity to run the pump for up to 6
hours without sun (see details below for typical recharge times). Always switch off when not required
to conserve power.

Rechargeable battery packs become less ecient with repeated charge and discharge cycles. The capacity of
the battery may also reduce over time and you may not acheive the 6 hour operation. If you nd that the
battery appears less ecient or does not run as long, we rst suggest you try to boost charge it. To do this,
leave o for 3 to 5 sunny days to allow the maximum charge to the battery. We suggest you do this
occassionally anyway to help prolong the battery life. If after this boost charge, your battery still does not
perform to expectations, you should seek a replacement from Customer Service.
Dispose of battery according to local regulations
Position your fountain so that receives direct sunlight. The fountain will NOT work if the solar panel is
in a shaded area.
