Solar Water Pump and solar Water Fountain- The combination for a brighter and greener world

Solar water pump are the pumps, which can be used by using the solar energy. The

principal for these solar water pumps are the same as an ordinary water pump which crates

the flow of water, but the difference is in the input for both the pumps, solar and electrical

as whenever you connect an electric water pump, the connection through an electric plug-in

has to be considered. Or otherwise the pump is not been able to circulate water, here comes

the solar water pump as it consists of a solar panel which can be considered as the natural

plug-in for the water pump.

Solar water pump uses the heat energy radiated by sun to transform the radiation energy

into electric energy. There is a solar panel of certain length and width as the panel is the

component, which is responsible for the storing of

the solar heat energy whenever the sun is bright in

the sky. Afterwards the storage heat energy is

converted into electrical energy through a

converter and this supply as the input power for

the water pump.

This solar water pump can be used with the solar

water fountain, as considerably the pumps do the

work of circulating water pretty much efficiently

depending upon the size of the solar panel

available for the water pump. The bigger the solar

panel, the more amount of solar energy is stored

and thus more electrical energy can be used for

the input power of the water pump.

The solar water fountain is the other portion of the puzzle as you have to buy a specific

dimensioned stone water fountain that is compatible with your solar water pump. The water

fountain consists of the solar water pump, which is basically situated inside the bottom basin

of the fountain and the water is being circulated through a tube via the water pump behind

the statue from bottom to the top. The water fountain which is compatible with solar water

pump can be bought as these kind of stone fountains of height 3m can cost you as much of

150 US dollars.

Also the solar water fountain that you buy; may consists a battery charger, which is used

whenever the sun goes down and you want your solar water fountain to be working perfect.

The electric battery charger will charge the solar panel and give the power to the water

1

pump. An average setup of solar powered pump and solar water fountain circulates an

amount of 47.5 gallons of water per hour at a maximum lift of 20 inches. Also there is a

possibility of having problems, from clogged water pumps as you may invite birds to the

fountain. The grains and the feathers of these birds fall in the circulating water and the

pump gets clogged.

Mostly a solar powered water pump costs of 44.75 US dollars. But whenever you got a high

enough statue, you need to consider a high power pump which can serve the cause.
