Capturing the architectural brilliance of Hampshire, this solar fountain is fashioned from a poly resin material making it extremely durable for the outdoors. Though mimicking the look of stone design, this fountain is extremely lightweight, giving you the ability to move it around your garden at leisure. A self-contained fountain, the water is continuously pumped and powered by solar energy.
This Solar On Demand fountain operates on direct sunlight, but has a battery power included. On the solar powered mode, the fountain will run directly from solar energy; however, the pump will only work in bright and sunny conditions. On the battery mode, you can power your fountain for up to 4 hours on cloudy days or at night. A fully charged battery will operate up to 4 hours. When the battery power is depleted, the system will automatically change back to solar powered mode and start again when there is sufficient sunlight. You can power the fountain daily using the battery technology for consistent performance even in cloudy conditions, or leave your fountain off, charging the batteries for use when you want it. Also, by the fountain spout are 4 LED lights which will make your water glow when the sun goes down!

The battery generally lasts between 12-18 months, but with repeated charges and discharge cycles the battery will become less efficient and battery capacity may reduce. If the battery does appear less efficient you may try and boost charge it. In order to boost charge the battery you must leave off for 2-3 sunny days to allow maximum charge to the battery. If the boost charge does not help the battery than you will need to replace it. Open the battery cover on the back of the solar panel and replace the batteries with 4 standard AA size rechargeable batteries.
For an additional purchase, an electric battery charger is also available. If there are several cloudy days in a row where the solar panel cannot recharge the batteries fully, you can unplug the solar panel, bring it inside, and plug it into a standard outlet with this battery charger to recharge the batteries.
