Thanks for the suggestion. I’m getting a used Oase AquaSolar 200 pump from a Wrench, who contacted me off-list. It’s rated up to 24V, so it hopefully will work with the 24-V module.<BR>

No one has replied with a current source for these pumps. They must not being made anymore (?).<BR>

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. <BR>

</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12pt'><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">Hi all,<BR>
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.<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
Any current suggestions, or sources?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
-Kelly <BR>
