here to see our selection of Solar pumps.
Solar pumps serve multiple purposes. They can be used for pools, fountains, ponds, waterfalls and other water needs.
They’re easy to install and there’s no wiring involved. The size of your pump will depend on the size of the body of water you desire it to pump. So before purchasing make sure you know how many gallons of water per hour you will need to pump.
To keep your pump in top shape make sure to periodically clean the filter. Dirt and other debris can cause it to clog and not run as well. So if you notice it’s not working as well as it used to, then it probably means it needs to be cleaned. This will keep it running as well as it did when you first bought it.
Since the sun only shines during the day it can cause some problems for enjoyment of your fountain or waterfall at night. Solar pumps run off of the sun’s energy and do not store it for later use at night. This means that to enjoy it after the sun goes down you’ll need a pump with a battery pack. This will also help on overcast days.
Making the switch to solar pumps is a no-brainer. They’re low maintenance, a cinch to install, and run off of free clean energy.
