Operation and solar panel usage

The pump will start automatically when it receives sufficient solar power. For best results:

• Shady positions will significantly reduce operating capacity.
• Performance is highest in summer but will work in spring and autumn with good sunshine.
• Regularly top up the water in the bowls to ensure the pump remains submerged.
