Solar Pumps

What better way to power your pond or fountain than with a solar pump? Ponds and fountains are a great DIY project, but when it comes to the wiring of the pump for water circulation/waterfalls, most people must hire an electrician to run the wire from their house to the pond/fountain. But what if you could take that part out? With a solar pump, you can!

Think about all the advantages of a solar pond pump or a solar fountain pump:

  • Put your pond/fountain wherever you want on your property and not worry about the expense of hiring an electrician to run electricity to it.
  • Put your pond/fountain wherever you want on your property and not worry about tearing up the rest of your property running electric wire to it.
  • Using a solar pump will not increase your electric bill.
  • Optional batteries enable the solar pump to continue to run in cloudy conditions and at night.
  • A solar pump is good for our environment – solar power generation has no harmful emissions.
  • Solar pond and fountain pumps cost about the same as conventional electric pumps.

Once you start using solar power, you’ll likely ask yourself, why didn’t I do this earlier?

Solar Pond or Fountain Pump
When looking for a solar pond or fountain pump, keep the following in mind:

  • What kind of flow rate do you need?
  • How far will you have to place the solar/PV panel from the water source to get unrestricted sunlight? If your pond/fountain is in a shady area, you’ll need to place your panel in a sunny location – make sure you are getting a long enough cable between the pump and the solar panel.
  • Do you want the fountain or pond pump to work at night or when it is cloudy? If you want your pump to work continuously, you’ll need to buy a solar pump with a battery. Otherwise, expect your pump to work great in direct sunlight, with reduced flow rate in the mornings, late afternoons, and cloudy periods.




Installing a solar pump is just a very easy, practical decision.
Less hassles (no wiring), less cost (no electricity or wiring),
less carbon footprint!
