Solar Power Pumps Provide an Effective Method for Powering Water Gardens
Solar power is an effective option for powering a backyard fountain or waterfall feature. Pumps can be purchased with solar panels that can be placed in a location near the pond that gets full sun during the day. Pump models that include battery backup or AC are also available.
The pump comes with a solar panel that can be rotated to follow the sun's path. Solar pumps do a great job of moving the water through the tubing up through the waterfall. When using solar pumps for a waterfall, the pump should be sized appropriately so that has enough "lift" to circulate the water up to the back of the waterfall.

Solar panel located near the pond receives full sun 8 hours per day (unless it's overcast). This keeps the waterfall running and the water filtered, which aids in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.

- This is a great idea. Solar panels are perfect for powering low-electricity systems like this one aren't they? Another great use for them is powering street lamps or, I suppose, lights for the back garden.

- Yes, solar power works really well for these types of applications. I am very pleased with how well the panel works in powering the pump. Thanks for your feedback!
