Uni-Pump Compact Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install your solar water feature pump with built-in mppt battery backup for optimal performance.

Installation Process

1. Prepare Your Feature

  • Remove old pump and clean debris from tubing
  • Measure tubing diameter (8mm or 12mm)

2. Install Pump

  • Connect to tubing using correct adapter
  • Secure pump at base of water feature

3. Position Solar Panel

  • Mount using included spike or wall bracket
  • Face south (UK) at 30-45° angle
  • Ensure no shading between 10am-4pm

Maximizing Performance

  • First use: Charge in full sun for 8+ hours
  • Seasonal adjustment: Tilt panel steeper in winter
  • Maintenance: Wipe panel monthly with damp cloth

Winter Storage Instructions

  • Before storage: Charge battery to 90% (2 sunny days minimum)
  • Storage location: Dry indoor area between 5-20°C
  • Every 3 months: Recharge to 90% if not in use
  • Never store: With battery completely discharged

Note: Storing at full charge reduces battery lifespan.

How Your Pump System Works Guide

Discover the operational principles and realistic performance expectations of your energy-efficient water pump system throughout the seasons. This guide helps you understand your system's capabilities and how to maximize its potential.

1. Operating Principles

Energy Collection

  • The panel captures sunlight and converts it to electrical energy
  • Energy powers the pump directly or charges the battery (in backup models)
  • System activation depends on light intensity and system type
  • Performance varies significantly with weather conditions

System Types

  • Direct Systems: Function only with sufficient direct sunlight
  • Battery-Backed Systems: Store energy for more consistent operation
  • Hybrid Systems: Combine immediate operation with energy storage
  • Each type offers different benefits based on your specific needs

2. Realistic Performance Expectations

Direct Systems Performance

  • Operation strictly dependent on available sunlight
  • Flow varies continuously with passing clouds
  • May start and stop multiple times on partly cloudy days
  • Strongest performance during midday hours with direct sun
  • No operation during evening or heavily overcast conditions

Battery-Backed Systems Performance

  • More consistent operation throughout the day
  • Continues running during brief cloudy periods
  • Provides operation after sunset (typically 1-8 hours depending on model)
  • Maintains steadier flow rate regardless of minor light variations
  • May include adjustable flow settings and timer functions

3. Seasonal Performance

Summer Performance (May to August)

  • Peak performance period for all system types
  • Direct Systems: Operation possible from early morning to evening on clear days
  • Battery Systems: Consistent daytime operation plus evening hours
  • Maximum flow rates achieved during direct midday sun
  • Best charging efficiency for battery models

Spring/Autumn Performance (March-April, September-October)

  • Reduced operational hours with shorter daylight
  • Direct Systems: Expect 40-60% of summer performance
  • Battery Systems: More reliable operation but reduced evening hours
  • Performance varies significantly with weather conditions
  • Panel angle adjustment becomes more critical

Winter Performance (November-February)

  • Significantly limited operation for all systems
  • Direct Systems: May only operate briefly during peak sun (5-10% of summer performance)
  • Battery Systems: Limited daytime operation with minimal evening hours
  • Many customers choose to store system during winter months
  • Performance highly dependent on clear, sunny conditions

4. Advanced MPPT Technology

Our exclusive Maximum Power Point Tracking system maximizes efficiency in more challenged light conditions:

How MPPT Works

  • Continuously optimizes solar panel output
  • Automatically adjusts to changing light conditions
  • Previously only available in industrial systems

30% Efficiency Boost

  • Enhanced performance in lower light
  • Faster battery charging
  • Longer operating hours

PowerBee Innovation

  • First in small pumps
  • Professional-grade technology
  • Sets a new industry standard

5. Optimizing Performance

Seasonal Panel Positioning

To maximize energy capture, adjust the panel angle based on the sun's position throughout the year. In the UK:

  • Winter (November-February): Position at 60° angle
  • Spring/Autumn (March-April, September-October): Adjust to 40° angle
  • Summer (May-August): Set at 20-30° angle

Regular seasonal adjustment is especially important for direct systems.

Critical Installation Factors

  • Position panel facing south for maximum exposure
  • Avoid any shading on the panel surface - even partial shade significantly reduces output
  • Clean panel weekly to maintain maximum efficiency
  • Ensure unobstructed sunlight throughout the day
  • Keep battery units (if applicable) dry and ventilated

6. System-Specific Features

Direct-Powered Systems

  • Simple, maintenance-free operation
  • No moving parts beyond the pump itself
  • Lower initial cost than battery systems
  • Ideal for daytime water features
  • Perfect for locations with consistent sun exposure

Battery-Backed Systems

  • More reliable operation in variable weather
  • Functionality during cloudy periods and evening hours
  • Most models include built-in timer functionality
  • Automatic low-battery protection prevents damage
  • Ideal for consistent water circulation needs

7. Maintenance for Longevity

Regular Care

  • Clean panel surface weekly for optimal energy capture
  • Remove pump filter and clean monthly
  • Check all connections for security and integrity
  • Inspect cables for damage or wear
  • Adjust panel angle with seasonal changes

Battery Maintenance (if applicable)

  • Keep battery unit dry and well-ventilated
  • Allow full charge cycle periodically
  • Store indoors during extreme cold
  • Check connections for corrosion or looseness
  • Replace battery after 18-24 months of use

8. Winter Considerations

Winter Storage Recommendations

  • Consider removing system during winter months (recommended)
  • Clean all components thoroughly before storage
  • Store pump and components in frost-free location
  • For battery systems, store battery fully charged
  • Inspect for wear or damage before spring reinstallation

Winter Operation (if necessary)

  • Expect minimal performance (5-10% of summer capacity)
  • Direct systems may not operate at all on overcast days
  • Battery systems provide more reliable but limited function
  • Adjust panel to steeper 60° angle for low winter sun
  • Protect pump from freezing conditions
