Subject: Re: Best solar pump for waterfall? by 2010 on 6/9/2025 23:23:56 Do you have a budget in mind? You can get solar powered pumps that can (so they claim) run a waterfall, but the main problem is you are in the U.K. In short to have a solar pump work it needs sunshine, and lots of it, we don't really get it constantly, so the way round it is to have more and bigger solar panels, but here in lies the problem. The more solar panels you have the more it is going to cost you, it can and often is cheaper to have a mains powered pump than to invest in solar power for a pond. I have looked at several solar pumps over the years, they do work (sort of) but as they are solar they stop when there is no sunshine, they don't work at night, and if I were to consider batteries, what will charge them up if there is not enough sun to run the pump? I can only say good luck to you. |
