Q: How do I know if my existing fountain can be used with a solar pump?
A: Due to the accessibility of solar energy, almost any fountain can be turned into a solar-powered fountain. Simply determine the lift/head and gallons per hour you would like your pump to be capable of and feel free to browse our selection of solar fountain kits.

Q: My solar pump is not working as well as it did when I first received it.
A: Although no water pump comes maintenance free, a solar pump is the most low-maintenance option. Make sure all connections and plugs are clear of water and have not come loose. Also ensure your solar panel is not placed in the water. To view an article explaining how to easily clean your pump, please visit this link. You should also ensure your panel is still in full sunlight. More information on full sunlight can be found here.

Q: What type of applications can I use my solar water pump for?
A: The solar water pump can be used in ponds, fountains, and other water features found around your home. You can even use them as circulators for fish ponds to re-oxygenate the water or as a way to create mini rivers and waterfalls to give your landscape a unique look.

Q: My solar pump stops working even in overcast conditions.

A: All solar pumps which do not have battery backup may experience reduced or no output when exposed to overcast conditions due to lower lighting intensities.
