The Streetwize Garden Solar Cascading Slate Water Feature (Model GW280) is a decorative outdoor water feature designed to create a soothing ambiance with its cascading water and integrated LED lighting. This product is solar-powered and includes a back-up on-demand lithium battery, allowing for operation even when direct sunlight is not available.
Function Description:
The water feature operates by circulating water from a basin through a pump to create a cascading effect over multiple tiers of slate-like structures. During the day, a solar panel converts sunlight into electricity to power the pump and charge the integrated lithium battery. In the evening, or when sunlight is insufficient, the back-up battery can power both the pump and the LED light, ensuring continuous operation and illumination. The LED light automatically illuminates in the evening if there is sufficient battery charge. The unit features an 'on/off' button on the rear of the solar panel to control the pump and LED light, with a short press (1 second) to turn on and a long press (3 seconds) to turn off. When the pump/LED light is switched off, all charge generated by the solar panel is stored in the back-up battery.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Product Name: Gardenwize Cascading Slate Solar Water Feature
- Supplier Code: GW280
- Solar Panel: 3W
- Operation Voltage: 9V
- Water Flow Max: 250LPH (Liters Per Hour)
- Water Lift Max: 1.0M (Meter)
- LED Light: 3pcs LED Light
- Cable Length: 5M
- Lithium Battery: 7.4V-2000 mAh
Usage Features:
- Solar-Powered Operation: The primary power source is a solar panel, which should be positioned in an area receiving plenty of direct sunlight for optimal performance.
- Back-Up Lithium Battery: An integrated 7.4V-2000 mAh lithium battery provides power for the pump and LED light during cloudy conditions or in the evening. The battery is designed to be charged by the solar panel.
- Battery Status Indicator: The solar panel features an LED indicator light on its reverse side to show the battery's charge status:
- Green: Battery is fully charged (4 to 6 hours pump run time).
- Orange: Battery is at 50% charged (2 to 4 hours pump run time).
- Red: Battery is less than 20% charged (Up to 1 hour pump run time).
- On-Demand Operation: The unit can be turned on or off via a button on the solar panel. Turning the unit off allows the solar panel to exclusively charge the battery.
- Automatic LED Illumination: The LED light automatically turns on in the evening if the battery has sufficient charge.
- Weather Performance:
- Sunny: Solar energy runs the pump and charges the battery, maintaining performance even with brief cloudy conditions. Pump can run up to 5 hours in the evening. Battery fully charges in 1 day.
- Partly Cloudy: Solar energy runs the pump and supplies some energy to the battery. Performance is maintained when clouds pass. Pump will run for a shorter period in the evening. Battery takes 2 to 3 days to fully charge.
- Cloudy: Pump runs only with sufficient power from the battery. Little to no battery charging occurs, and pump performance is not maintained. Battery takes several days to fully charge.
- Night: No solar power is available. The pump will not run, and the battery will not charge.
- Assembly: The product requires simple assembly, including placing the water feature, connecting the pump to the integrated tube, threading wiring through an opening, connecting LED and pump wiring to the solar panel, attaching the stake to the solar panel, and filling the basin with water. The water level should be below the opening at the back of the unit, ensuring the pump and LED light are immersed.
Maintenance Features:
- Pump Cleaning: If the pump stops working or runs slowly, it needs to be disassembled and cleaned. This involves removing the pump from the water tube, then removing the pump cover, filter, and impeller cover. The components should be cleaned with fresh water to remove debris/limescale.
- Solar Panel Cleaning: The solar panel should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth to maintain optimum efficiency.
- Storage: Before storing, ensure the battery is fully charged and all cables are disconnected. It is recommended to use a cover to protect the water feature from dust and damage.
- Safety Warnings:
- Do not strike the solar panel.
- Do not let the pump run dry for extended periods.
- Do not lift the pump by its power cord.
- Only use freshwater with this water feature.
The product is designed for outdoor use and provides an aesthetic and calming element to gardens or patios, with the flexibility of solar power and battery back-up for extended operation.
