Solar Water Fountains

Solar Water Fountains - Which Ones to Buy?

For now there is a limited selection of solar water fountains available compared to electric ones. However, those that are available do the job they're intended to do which is to use energy from the sun to charge and power an electric pump.

Benefits to buying a solar water fountain include not only taking yourself off of the electrical-grid, but also forgetting about the need for a GFI outlet and worries about how to hide the cord. While the marketplace for solar fountains is growing. Count on greater selection in the years to come as solar and alternative energy becomes a more mainstream way of life.

How to set up and care for a solar fountain?

To get working all you have to do is position the solar panels in direct sunlight and add water. To care for your fountain, be sure to store the water fountain's pump and panel in a dry, frost-proof environment, during winter. Also, make sure that the pump is never operating in a dry environment because this will destroy it.
