Solar-Powered Pond Pumps

Choosing the right pump

Choosing the right pump depends on the size of your pond. We recommend choosing a model that turns over your pond’s total volume at least once every two hours. This depends on if your pond houses aquatic life, in which case you may need a higher turnover. For a more detailed explanation on choosing the right solar pump check out our handy help guide here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a solar powered pump work?

These pumps operate using solar energy, making them the perfect eco-friendly fountain pump for your pond. With no running costs, these pumps are ideal for sunny gardens, helping to aerate your pond.

Are solar pumps effective?

These pumps are very effective when placed in sunny spots, perfect for small-medium ponds, and help to boost oxygen levels without the expense.

Do solar pumps need battery backup?

Some modern models feature the capability of storing energy in a backup battery, allowing your pump to still function at night or when the clouds block out light.

Do solar powered pond pumps work on cloudy days?

Performance may drop on cloudy days, as these pumps work best in full sun, unless your model has a backup battery.
