What is a solar pond pump?
A solar
pond pump takes the solar energy from a PV or Photovoltaic panel. Sometimes
these pumps are designed as a fountain and sometimes called the solar
fountain pump.
A solar powered pond pump can be a great alternative to the
conventional pumps. And eventually in the long run it will save the expenses.
For the perfect functioning of solar pumps the solar panel should be placed in
a location which gets decent sun light.
The size and standard of
the solar panel defines the power collected from the solar powered pond pumps.
In most cases the power output is moderates and not suitable for big projects.
And these devices will not work after sunset. But sometimes they have batteries
which keep them running for some hours.

The conventional pumps
are very much cheap compared to the solar pumps and solar panels. So if you
have electricity then conventional mains pumps are the best choice. But I must
say if you make the perfect calculations then you will find that solar powered
fountain pump is an affordable option. So is it possible to get cheap pond pumps?
The answer is yes and no! If you consider the initial cost of the solar pump
and solar panel then you will find it very expensive. But when you will compare
this cost with the cost of wiring, power lines and most importantly time spent
then you will find that solar powered fountain pump is quite affordable with a
reasonable price. Solar pond pump works better when the sun is shining the most
and certainly you need more water flow when the sun is very hot. So it is
reasonable to use solar pumps.
Features of a solar pond pump
Advantages
- No running cost
- Easy setup procedure
- Great for use in remote areas.
- Perfect for fountains.
- Very little noise.
- No environmental pollution.
- This setup can be used as a dehumidifier when used in indoors.
- Very little maintenance needed.
- Solar pond pump has a relatively long life.
Disadvantages
- Power output is low. Water flow rate is also low in solar pond pumps.
- Solar pond fountain is not suitable for large projects.
- Cloudy days can cause less power output.
- Expensive.
- Very few companies produce solar pond pump. So the options are limited.
- Cannot be used during night time without battery support.
Features of solar fountain pump
Sometimes the solar panel includes the design of the
fountain. So the fountain must be placed in a sunny place. It ensures enough
sunlight to fall on the panel.
In some cases the panel and fountain is in separate locations.
A cord is used to join the two. As long as the panel is getting enough sunlight
the fountain can be place anywhere.
Finally I can say that this fountain pumps have their pros and cons.
But in the long run these can be proved very beneficial. Here’s a demo of solar pond pump.

SOLAR PUMP PRICE
Many features benefit from having a free high quality water source through a rainwater tank pump in the home. Problems can arise What is frustrating is that these problems can be avoided. If maintenance is a priority Some problems include poor water pressure, poor water quality, insect contamination, blockages (which can limit or stop water flow), and pump failure.
