Solar Pond Fountains

Thinking of a Solar Powered Pond Fountain?

Our solar-powered fountains not only add that special touch of elegance to your pond. They also operate using solar energy, which makes them perfect for pond owners who are conscious about protecting the environment.

If you’re still unsure about going solar, here’s why our solar-powered fountains might make the perfect addition to your pond.

• They’re Eco-Friendly – Since they’re powered entirely by renewable energy, our solar-powered pond fountains don’t harm the environment.
• Cost-Effective Alternatives to Electric Fountains – These fountains won’t contribute to your monthly electricity bill, which means you save more money in the long run.
• Easy to Install – Without electricity, you won’t have to install any complex wiring or take on the extra costs of hiring a professional for help.
• Stunning Design and Patterns – With spray patterns and designs to suit a range of landscapes, you can choose a solar fountain that brings out the beauty of your property.
• For Ponds of All Sizes – From commercial-sized ponds to smaller residential ponds, we have solar-powered fountains to suit a whole range of different pond sizes and types.

Our Pond Fountains Don’t Just Look Pretty

Our fountains aren’t just designed to transform the look of your pond and landscape. Yes, they’re beautiful, but they also perform an essential function: they aerate your pond, bringing oxygen from the air into the pond water. Oxygenating your pond is important for a few reasons:

1. It reduces harmful algae blooms.
2. It clears up old, murky water.
3. It gets rid of horrible odors.
4. It protects your fish and pond life.

However, pond fountains aren’t the most effective way of aerating deeper ponds, as they sit on top of the water. If you need deeper aerating power, consider investing in an aerator as well as a fountain.

Choosing the Right Solar Fountain for Pond Management

Just like with anything, different solar fountains will work for different ponds. Larger and more powerful fountains with a higher flow rate will be better for deeper and larger ponds, whereas smaller fountains will be the better choice for shallower, smaller ponds. Here are some things to consider:

The Size of Your Pond: As we said, the deeper the pond, the more powerful the fountain you need. Make sure you know the dimensions of your pond before you start purchasing any old fountain.

The Style of Fountain: Different fountains will come with different structures and spray patterns. Don’t just choose one that gives you great aeration – you’ll also want one that looks good, too, turning your old garden or yard into a beautiful landscape.

Keeping Your Fountain in Great Condition

Just because your pond fountain is solar-powered and may need less maintenance than traditional electric options, keeping tabs on its health will help extend its lifespan. You may need to replace fountain pumps or other moving parts from time to time. 
Here at Your Pond Pros, we don’t just offer pond fountains and aerators; we also give you everything you need to keep all your equipment in working order. Check out our pond rakes, pond pumps, fountain pumps, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Fountains

Are Solar Pond Fountains Any Good?

Solar pond fountains are just as good and powerful as their electric counterparts. In fact, they provide pond owners with all the benefits of traditional fountains without sky-high electricity bills, electrical components to maintain, or increased harm to the environment. 

Solar power technology has come a long way since it first appeared, which means our solar pond fountains are equipped with better panels, better pumps, and a fantastic performance you can rely on.

And because you don’t need electricity for these machines, solar pond fountains are wonderful choices for ponds in more remote locations with less access to electricity.

Do Solar Water Fountains Work at Night?

Typically, solar water fountains don’t work at night. The reason for this is simple: they need sunlight to power them. Since there isn’t any sunlight at night, the solar panel can’t generate electricity.

However, if you want to run your fountain at night, some models feature battery packs that let them function when it gets dark. Alternatively, check out our traditional pond fountains instead, as you’ll be able to run them at night worry-free.

Will a Solar Fountain Work on a Cloudy Day?

Yes, solar fountains can still work on cloudy days, but there’s a catch. Their performance might be reduced when there’s less sunlight available. That said, solar technology has improved over the years, and many models now feature advanced panels that convert light into energy even more effectively – even when sunlight might be sparse.

So, if you live somewhere prone to clouds or dark weather, you might want to look into solar fountains with extra features.
