[RE-wrenches] Solar fountain pump.

[Mark Dickson]

Kelly,

A Lorentz PS150 with CSJ5-8 submersible pump would give you about 17gpm.
You can orient the pump on its side in the pool and also adjust the flow.
We have sold many of these and have used them before in demonstration
fountains and they work great. 

 

Best regards,

Hi all,
We have a pond with rockery and small cascade (< 5-ft total head) with a
solar-direct pump for demonstration at our office. The Dankoff "Sun Delight"
pump that's been running it for a year (plus at shows for the last 8 years)
has given out and needs to be replaced. We tried a 12-V bilge pump but that
lasted about a month.
In previous subject threads (example below) back in '04 there were several
recommendations for the Oase AquaSolar pumps, said to be carried by AEE and
others. However, I can't find these pumps in the AEE catelog, or even on the
Oase website.

We ran the Sun Delight on a 75-watt, 12-volt module, but I'd like to upgrade
to a freight damaged, Sharp 175W (24 vdc) to allow the cascade to flow more
in low sun conditions.

Any current suggestions, or sources?

Thanks,
-Kelly

Eric makes larger solar fountain pumps for large water features but the
Oase pumps are perfect for small fountains. We've had one running since '98
with 0 problems.  AEE has been selling them for years.

 Hi,
Now with a retail store attached to our installing business, we are
getting lots of requests for stuff of which we have little direct
knowledge.  The
request of the month is for a small submersible pump which can run
directly off
 a PV panel and make a small fountain.  We saw one demonstrated at MWREF
but
 failed to get info on it.  Anyone had good results from a particular
pump...
  longevity, etc.  It seems that a lot of people here in Vermont have small
ponds
  on their properties but no moving water.
  Any suggestions would be helpful.
