Solar Power Water Pump
Installing a Solar Powered Water Fountain
nstalling a solar powered water fountain is an easy and inexpensive project that will instantly transform your garden.
Solar powered water fountains are self-contained units that can start working straight out of the box which means your fountain, delivered in the morning, will be a topic of conversation at the evening get-together.
Look, no wires!
Using a solar powered fountain will make the installation a cinch because there is no need for wiring to a mains Power socket. Power is supplied through solar energy panels that convert sunlight into usable energy, which means you will be saving oodles of money by using free electricity.
You may want to run the fountain after dark, especially if you have garden parties and barbeques in the evening. Take advantage of rechargeable batteries. Fountains that have rechargeable batteries can keep the fountain running when the sky is overcast or after dark. Rechargeable batteries are continually recharged by sunlight, which means your fountain will always be working. Batteries will last for several years before needing replacing.
Solar Panels run on low voltage making it safer and there is no need to run extension cords to an electric power point.
If you have chosen a wall mounted water fountain, wall attachments will need to securing to the wall prior to mounting. This is usually just drilling some holes and screwing the attachment to the wall.
Location, Location, Location
Solar powered water fountains can be installed virtually anywhere that they can get sunlight. Ideally, the solar panels should be located where they will get most benefit from the suns rays through out the day.
Many solar powered fountains have the solar panels directly fitted to the fountain while others have solar panels that may be located in a sunny spot remote from the fountain. This type of fountain usually comes with about fifteen feet of cable to install the panel behind bushes but still in direct sunlight.
Using remote panels is an ideal solution if your fountains location will be in the shade for part of the day.
Water Fountain Maintenance
Solar water fountains require virtually no maintenance. Ideally, the pump should remain submerged for maximum efficiency. Just check that the water level has not dropped too much exposing the pump. Water level should remain at one inch from the rim of the bowl.
In the fall, check that leaves are not clogging the pump, which will make the pump work harder.
If the pump does not seem to be working efficiently, the solar panels may need wiping to clear dirt and grime.
Gushing With Style
There is a wide range of solar powered water fountains to choose from such as cascading bowls, freestanding statues and wall mounted fountains. They are also available in a wide range of materials from glass fiber to beautiful marble or bronze that will suit any garden.
Installing a nozzle kit will create interesting water spray patterns and solar powered lighting will highlight the water fountains features making the fountain a place to be during your evening parties.
Some fountains can float and are a great addition to a pond or even a swimming pool.
Solar water fountains will instantly add beauty and dimension to your garden.
