3. FULL 1 YEAR WARRANTY
If within 12 months from the date of purchase this product
fails due to a defect in material or workmanship, Smart Solar
will replace it free of charge. You must report any contents
damage or missing pieces within 72 hours of receipt of goods
for your claim to be valid.
The warranty does not apply to:
Damage caused by accidents, abuse, poor handling, frost
or normal wear and tear. Products which have been
subject to unauthorized repair or modification.
The water feature, solar and pump must NOT be left
in below freezing conditions. Please store your water
feature indoors during periods of frost/freezing. Leaving
the water feature in below freezing conditions will void
this warranty. The pump must never be operated out of
water as this will permanently damage the performance
of the pump.
IMPORTANT: To ensure the seal remains water-tight twist the pump
and panels connectors together rather than merely pressing them
together. Check that the small yellow rubber “o” ring remains in it’s
groove and is not pushed out when connecting. If this ring moves
there will be no water seal and the pump and panel will eventually
fail
Solar panel: The panel should be cleaned periodically with a soft
tissue and proprietary glass cleaning solution. Regular cleaning of the
panel is advised to maintain optimum conversion of the sun’s energy
into direct current.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have any problems please contact Smart Solar before returning
to the place of purchase. For immediate answers visit our website
www.smartsolar.com where you will find extensive trouble
shooting, FAQs and be able to order spare parts.
Pump is noisy and there is no water running through the tube.
Take off the pump cover and remove the impeller. If the pump is
still noisy without the impeller then seek a replacement. If the noise
stops, clean the pump and replace the impeller and cover. This
problem may repeat if the water contains debris, we recommend
regular water changing.
Pump does not operate even though the solar panel is in
full sunlight
Check whether the impeller is blocked by removing the pump cover.
If it is, then clean the pump as detailed above.
Pump does operate but there is no water running through
the tube
1) Check for the build up of sediment, scale or dirt in the filter and
in the bottom of the pump housing as detailed above.
2) Check whether the pump cover is attached properly. If the pump
cover is not pushed down tightly, the pump will not push water
through the fountain.
3) If fitted, check the sprinkler head is not blocked. Remove the cap,
rinse the parts in water to clean before re-assembling.
Please note:
If the water is likely to freeze the pump and panel must be
removed from the water feature and stored in a dry frost proof
environment. The water feature can remain outside.
The pump must never be operated dry (out of water) as this
will have a permanent adverse affect on the performance of the
pump.

6. COMPONENTS
1. Solar panel with attached pump unit
2. Resin birdbath top, stand and base
3. Fountain Head Set
4. Resin Plate (for winter/holiday use)
7. ASSEMBLING AND USING YOUR
PRODUCT
Unpack all components carefully. Please ensure that you
check all parts have been removed from the packaging.
Decide on a suitable location, bearing in mind there will be
some water splashes when the product is in use.
First assemble the resin bowl onto the resin stand.Then place
the upper tier with solar module and pump unit into the resin
bowl (make sure the pump is attached to the connection
tubes). Fill the main bowl with water and align the upper tier
so water flows equally through all spouts.
Please Note: We recommend you use filtered or rain water
to prevent scale build up. On first use there may be air in the
pump. It can take up to 5 minutes until all the air is expelled
and water begins to flow from the upper tier. If you are away
from home for more than 2-3 days, remove the solar pump
unit and insert the spare resin plate.
8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Pump: If, after a period of time, the pump starts to lose power
or stops working check for the build up of sediment, scale or dirt
in the filter and in the bottom of the pump housing. Carefully
take out the top tier. Turn it upside down on a soft surface.
Dry the solar pump connector and disconnect. Remove the
pump cover at it’s base. Take out the impeller and remove any
sediment, scale or dirt that has built up. Replace the impeller and
replace the pump cover.
Turn upside down on a soft
surface and attach the pump
unit
Screw base onto stand
Screw top part to the stand
Clean the sprinkler head
For further information please contact your nearest
customer service center detailed on the last page of this
manual.
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with
household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check
with your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Smart Solar reserves the right to modify any product to
enhance performance and design.
4. BEFORE YOU START
Decide on an appropriate outdoor location for your water feature.
Ideally this should be on a flat surface. A solar panel powers the
pump by converting sunlight into electricity.
The solar panel will power the pump when exposed to direct
sunlight. If the sun passes behind a cloud then the amount of
electricity produced by the panel will decrease and the pump will
stop working or slow down. As soon as the sun reappears from
behind the cloud the amount of electricity will increase instantly
and the pump will begin to work again.
The amount of electricity produced by the solar panel is
proportional to the strength of sunlight received. For optimum
performance we recommend that your solar panel should be
exposed to as much direct sunlight as possible and away from
shady areas e.g. under trees.
5. OVERVIEW
The Portsmouth Solar Birdbath has been designed for outdoor
use. The pump drives water to the upper tier and then cascades
down into the resin bowl. The water is constantly recycled.
