DISADVANTAGES

Energy Storage Retention

Some pumps are only operational while the sun is shining and doesn't store enough power for further heating while the sun is down. The newer solar pond pumps are made with a battery to maintain heating while the sun is down. Therefore power will be available at all times.

Small Panels

Depending on the size of the pond, waterfall or fountain the smaller panels may not generate enough power which is needed to make them fully operational.
