    Solar Fountains & Pond Pumps

    View as

    Gardeon solar fountains and solar pond pumps, in kits from 2.6ft to 9.8ft. Most are submersible pumps powered by a solar panel; some add a battery and LED lights, four have a filter box, and there are two-panel kits too. Listed maximum flow rates run from 160L/H on the 2.6ft kit up to 1600L/H on a two-panel kit, and there is a floating bird bath fountain, a floating lotus design and a black 27cm bird bath model with battery backup, LED and remote.

    How to choose a solar fountain

    Start with the lift height. The ft figure in each product name is the maximum water lift height from the listing, so a 4ft kit lists 1.2m and a 9.8ft kit lists 3m. Then decide how it is powered. The basic kits run from the solar panel alone. The battery and LED kits add a backup battery and lights, and one lists up to 14 hours on a full charge. The filter box models add a filter between the pump and the water so debris stays out of the pump.

    A solar panel needs direct sun, and the 610L/H flow on the 9.8ft listing is quoted in direct sunlight, so check where the panel will sit before you buy. The listings say their figures are measured in a laboratory environment and that actual performance depends on your own setup.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does the ft in the product name mean?

    It is the maximum water lift height listed for that pump. A 4ft kit lists 1.2m, a 6.6ft kit lists 2m and a 9.8ft kit lists 3m. In the listings the spray height is lower than the maximum lift height.

    Does a solar fountain work without sun?

    The basic kits are powered by the solar panel, so they need sun on the panel. The battery and LED kits add a backup battery, and the 4.3ft listing says up to 14 hours on a fully charged battery.

    Which solar fountain has a filter?

    Four listings have a filter box: the 4.6ft pump with filter box, the 4.6ft 470L/H model, the 6.6ft model with an eco pond filter and bio balls, and the 6ft 1190L/H model. The two-panel 1600L/H kit comes with a pump with filter.

    Can I run a solar pond pump without water?

    No. The listings say the fountain must be submerged before it is switched on, and several list dry protection as no.

    What is in the box?

    The kits list a solar panel, a water pump, spray nozzles and a user manual. The 9.8ft battery model adds a backup battery and a remote control, and the two-panel 7.2ft kit includes 2 solar panels.
