Installation Steps
Check the pictured kit, then follow each illustrated step. Manual illustrations can differ in color or finish; match your supplied fittings.
-
Check the complete kit
Inspect both panels, pump, Y-branch cable, nozzles and suction cups. Do not use damaged cables or a cracked panel.
-
Fit the outlet and suction cups
With the power disconnected, fit the A4 outlet and suction cups as shown in P041.
-
Build the spray assembly
Fit the control valve, rod and chosen head. Seat the valve at the marked position in the manual; close an unused outlet.
-
Arrange both panels and the Y-cable
Place both panels securely in full sun. Connect their matching plugs to the Y-branch parallel cable; keep the pump disconnected until it is submerged.
-
Submerge the pump
Put the pump completely under water on a stable surface away from sediment. Keep the spray outlet above the surface.
-
Secure the connection and test
Connect the submerged pump to the panel cable and secure the protective collars. Test in full sun and adjust the spray so water returns to the pond.

FAQ
Product & Manual
Which kit does this support page cover?
This page covers the 100W 1200GPH Solar Fountain Pump, model P1100, with manual P041. Match the model and supplied parts before following a shared tutorial.
Why does the manual show more than one version?
P041 is the manual reference for this kit. Shared manuals can illustrate another wattage or pump finish. Use this page’s model-specific specifications and match your supplied fittings; do not use another model’s performance ratings.
Power & Setup
Will the fountain run after sunset?
This is a direct-solar kit without an included battery. It needs sunlight and does not provide overnight operation.
Where should I put the solar panel?
Place both panels on a stable surface in full outdoor sunlight. Use the supplied Y-branch parallel cable and matching connectors; do not replace it with a series connection.
What if the pump does not start?
Check that the pump is fully submerged, the connectors match and the panel is in full sun. Clear the intake and nozzle. For battery models, allow the panel to recharge before testing again.
Water Flow
Why is the spray lower than expected?
Solar intensity, lift, tubing length, nozzle restrictions and split flow affect output. Test in strong sun with the filter clean and remove the spray head briefly to check whether it is restricted.
Can I use the fountain and tubing together?
Use the supplied diverter valve as shown in P041. Balance the outlets and close an unused outlet. Splitting flow reduces the water available to each feature.
Where should the pump and nozzle sit?
Fully submerge the pump and keep it away from sediment. Keep the nozzle outlet above the surface. Secure the pump on a suitable surface and check the water level regularly.
How do I keep the spray inside the water feature?
Choose a lower spray pattern, center the pump and allow for wind. Check the basin often and stop the pump if water is being lost.
Installation & Parts
How do I fit the nozzle parts?
Connect the A4 outlet and suction cups, then fit the control valve and spray parts shown in P041. Seat the control valve to the position indicated in the manual and keep the rod stable.
Can I use this for a tubing water feature?
Connect compatible tubing to the pump outlet shown in the manual. Keep tubing short and free of kinks; increasing height and length reduces flow.
Can I substitute a different panel or power supply?
Use the supplied panel and compatible original parts. Ask support to verify the connector and electrical compatibility before substituting a power source.
Care & Troubleshooting
How do I clean the pump?
Disconnect the panel before maintenance. Remove the intake cover and sponge, rinse away debris, and reassemble carefully. Clean the nozzle separately and follow the manual before removing the rotor.
Does low-water protection replace water-level checks?
No. Keep the pump submerged and refill as needed. Protection features do not replace monitoring, especially in hot or windy weather. Stop and inspect the setup if the pump makes unusual noise.
Does this replace continuous pond filtration or aeration?
This kit provides a fountain and water movement. Do not rely on intermittent solar flow as the only filtration or continuous oxygen source for a stocked pond.
