Solar Fountain Pump Kit with Solar Panel

Solar Fountain Pump Kit with Solar Panel

Solar Fountain Pump Kit with Solar Panel is a complete, plug-and-play solar pond pump system for ponds, bird baths, fountains and decorative water features. It runs entirely on renewable solar energy, so there is no need for mains electricity and ongoing running costs stay low. It suits South African gardeners and pond owners who want a sunny, off-grid fountain without trenching cables to a power point.

Key Benefits

• Complete solar-powered fountain system with the solar panel included
• No mains electricity required, which makes it well suited to off-grid outdoor installations
• Advanced DC brushless motor technology for efficient water circulation and energy-efficient operation
• Built-in water level sensors stop the pump automatically if it is no longer fully submerged. This dry-run protection helps prevent damage and extends pump life.
• Overheat and locked-rotor protection add dependable operation and long-term reliability
• Multiple fountain spray patterns, so you can choose the display that suits your pond or feature
• Adjustable solar panel mounting system lets you angle the panel directly toward the sun for the best energy generation
• Easy plug-and-play installation
• Environmentally friendly and cost-effective

How to Use

Position the solar panel in direct sunlight, ideally somewhere that gets full sun throughout the day. Use the adjustable support bracket and ground spike mounting system to aim the panel at the sun. The stronger the sunlight, the greater the pump's performance, giving you better fountain displays through the day.

• Keep the pump fully submerged during operation
• Keep the solar panel surface clean for maximum efficiency
• Clean the pump and impeller periodically to maintain optimal flow rates
• Remove the pump from the water during freezing conditions

Performance is directly related to available sunlight. Flow rate and fountain height will vary with weather conditions, solar intensity, panel positioning and fountain configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this solar fountain pump need mains electricity?
No. The kit includes a solar panel and runs entirely on solar energy, so no mains power is needed.

What happens if the water level drops too low?
Built-in water level sensors automatically stop the pump if it is no longer fully submerged. This dry-run protection helps prevent damage. Overheat and locked-rotor protection are also built in.

Which model offers the highest flow and lift?
The SP40-501218D has a 40W panel, a maximum flow rate of 1800 LPH and a maximum lift height of 3.5m. The SP25-501210D is rated at 1400 LPH and 2.1m, and the SP25-401215D at 900 LPH and 3.0m.

Will it work on cloudy days?
Performance depends on available sunlight. Flow rate and fountain height vary with weather, solar intensity, panel positioning and fountain configuration. For best results, place the panel where it gets full sun throughout the day.

Can I leave the pump in the pond over winter?
Remove the pump from the water during freezing conditions. This is worth remembering in frost-prone parts of South Africa.

How do I keep the flow strong over time?
Keep the solar panel surface clean and clean the pump and impeller periodically to maintain optimal flow rates.
