Position the water feature where it can sit level and be kept topped up, then fill it with water so the recirculating pump can keep the display moving within the unit. The resin construction and bronze-effect finish match the traditional boy and girl scene and tipping bucket detail for an outdoor-only decorative setup.

Learn how your decorative solar water feature operates — and why correct placement in full, direct sunlight is essential for the best performance throughout the season.
Power & Pump System
Simple, clean operation powered entirely by sunlight.
Integrated solar panel converts sunlight into electricity
Power flows directly to the pump while sunlight is available
No battery storage — runs only when the sun shines
Operation pauses immediately in shade or heavy cloud
Best results in open, south-facing, unshaded locations (UK)
Designed primarily for spring and summer use
Water Circulation
A continuous flow system creates a calming decorative display.
Water is pumped from the main reservoir
Creates gentle, decorative flow patterns
Fully self-contained — no plumbing required
Simple to refill and maintain
Integrated filter helps maintain water clarity
Placement Guidelines
Correct positioning is critical for reliable solar performance.
Install in a wide-open, fully sunny position
Avoid any shade from trees, fences, or buildings
Even partial or brief shade will stop water flow
South-facing orientation maximises runtime in the UK
Place on a stable, level surface
Ensure easy access for refilling and cleaning
Maintenance Needs
Simple care keeps your feature operating efficiently.
Check water levels regularly and top up as needed
Remove leaves and debris from the reservoir
Wipe the solar panel clean to maintain charging efficiency
Clean the pump and filter monthly
Store indoors before frost or freezing weather
Seasonal Operation
Solar water features are designed for fair-weather and seasonal use.
