REEFE™ SOLAR PUMP USER MANUAL
Model No.: RSF2500
1. OVERVIEW
1) The solar water pump is designed for water features and
waterfalls, and is powered by a solar panel.
2) The solar panel needs to be placed in the sunlight with its
solar cells facing the sun as much as possible, the
performance of the pump depends on the sunlight intensity
and the orientation of the solar panel.
3) The latest DC brushless motor technology is used in the
pump design and manufacturing, so that the pump has high
efficiency and long service life.
4) The pump has a built-in function of dry-run protection. The
dry-run protection function is provided by two sensor points on one side of the pump body (not
visible from outside.-see Figure 1). The pump works if both of the points are submerged in water. If
either or both points emerge out of water, the pump stops working.
2. COMPONENTS
1) Solar panel with ground spike
2) Pump
3) Hose connection
4) Gland nut (M56 x 2.0mm thread)
5) Spare Impeller (Not pictured)
3. ASSEMBLING
1) Completely unroll the power cable.
2) Attach the hose onto the outlet of the hose connection. The hose connection is suitable for various
hose diameters (inside diameter 25,32 or 38 mm). For fountain nozzle use see above “Fountain
Function”.
3) Mount the hose connection to the pump outlet by means of the enclosed gland nut. Via the ball joint,
the angle of the hose connection may be adjusted under water as necessary.
4) Completely immerse the pump into the water.
5) Connect the pump to the solar panel, and ensure the cable connection is tightened correctly.
6) Install the solar panel in garden lawn or soft ground by means of the spike. Adjust the angle to face
the solar panel toward the sun.
7) The solar pump is now ready to operate.

FOUNTAIN FUNCTION
If you wish to use a fountain
nozzle (not supplied) you will
