Adding A Battery backup
Please note by adding a battery backup the maximum head and the flow rate of this pump will change to the following : Max Head 1.8, flow rate 4150. This is because the battery acts as a mediator and takes control of the pump and takes some of the energy to store for use later & to ensure greater consistency of operation during partially cloudy days.

Installation Guide for Solar Cascade Pump Max Head 3.0m
This product is primarily designed for use in spring and summer. While it can function during winter, optimal performance is only achievable on extremely sunny days with the solar panel facing directly out of shade, and even then, only for a limited time.
1. Unpack the Components:
Open the package and carefully remove all components, ensuring that all parts are included and intact.
2. Identify Components:
Familiarize yourself with the main components: the solar panel, the fountain pump with the 5-meter cable, and the spike for ground mounting.
3. Choose a Suitable Location:
Select a location for your solar-powered water fountain that receives direct sunlight for the majority of the day. This is crucial for optimal solar panel performance and efficient energy conversion.
4. Install the Solar Panel:
If using the spike, push it firmly into the ground, ensuring stability and proper alignment of the solar panel to maximize sunlight exposure.
5. Connect the Pump:
Connect the fountain pump's 5-meter cable directly to the designated port on the back of the solar panel. Ensure a secure connection.
6. Place the Pump in the Pond:
Submerge the pump in the pond or water feature. Ensure that the pump is placed at an appropriate depth within the water. Note that if the pump is lower in the water, the flow rate may be affected.
7. Adjust Pump Height:
Consider the maximum pump height of 3.0 meters when placing the pump in the pond. Adjust the pump's depth to achieve the desired flow rate based on your preferences.
8. Test the Fountain:
Expose the panel to sunlight and observe the water flow. Adjust the pump's depth or positioning in the pond as needed to achieve the desired visual and audible effect.
9. Maintenance:
Periodically clean the solar panel surface to ensure optimal sunlight absorption.
Check the pump and tubing for any debris that might obstruct water flow.
10. Experiment and Enjoy:
Experiment with the placement of the pump within the pond to achieve different visual effects.
Enjoy your solar-powered water fountain and the soothing sound of flowing water in your outdoor space.
Note: Always refer to the specific product manual for any manufacturer-specific instructions or considerations. Follow safety guidelines and precautions provided by the manufacturer during installation.
Sunspray Solar Cascade Pump: Seasonal Performance Guide
Seasonal Performance Overview
This solar cascade pump is primarily designed as a spring and summer product with significantly limited winter functionality. Understanding its seasonal performance is crucial for optimal use.
Spring and Summer Performance
During spring and summer, the solar panel performs exceptionally well. Not only does it power the pump during direct sunlight, but any additional solar energy is efficiently converted and can be utilized during partially cloudy conditions or early evening hours.
Winter Performance Limitations
Winter operation is extremely restricted. The pump will only function under very specific conditions:
Solar panel must face directly south
Panel must be angled at midday sun
Completely out of shade
Even then, operation will be extremely limited
Technical Operational Principle
The Sunspray Solar Cascade Pump is a direct solar-to-pump conversion system:
Solar panel produces voltage when sunny
Voltage transmitted directly to pump via cable
Pump activates and circulates water
No battery backup or energy storage
