Looking for solar powered pump
    #1602027 - 06/02/03 04:22 PM (20 years, 9 months ago)

I have a small 40 gallon water garden that I need a solar powered water pump for. It just needs to be strong enough to keep the water moving and create a small fountain. Anyone know where I can find something like this?

I think your best bet would be a submersable extention cord.

I don't want to pay for running a pump 24 hours a day.

Are solar pumps even made? Did you try a google search maybe?

You might have to just get a small solar panel and have it power a regular pump..........

Heres a small panal

A decent sized (of decent power) solar panel is relatively expensive. Have you thought of a windmill? They might be cheaper and serve your purpose while even operating at night.

Upon doing some research, I've come to the conclusion that your original idea may turn out to be a better deal than I originally thought.  Check this out.

Yeah, that's not bad. The problem is, everything I have found for solar or wind powered pumps is too big for what I need. They are either industrial sized for farms and ranches, or they are for medium to large ponds with a big fountain. I just want a little one that can handle 20-40 gallons per hour and a small trickle of water out of an old faucet. Just enough to attract birds and keep the water from stagnating. I know they are made because I have seen them before, but I can't remember where.

Aquatic Ecosystems has just what you are looking for.

I don't know what kind of product listings they have online but I know for a fact the catalog has exactly the thing for you. The catalog also has some other really interesting goods for sale.
