Many people love to landscape their property with beautiful fountains and reflecting pools and ponds. These landscaping additions add a peaceful, natural feel to any environment and allow the homeowner to escape from the busy workday. When one decides to add flowing water to their property, generally their thoughts are focused more on where to put it and what contractor to use. These are important questions, but one of the most important parts that many people forget to ponder concerns the pump that will power their new magnificent landscaping.
Many people just use A/C power from their house or garage, without a second thought. What many people don't think about is that in landscaping, it is best to minimize the environmental impact. A great way to lessen the load on the environment, while saving money at the same time, is to install solar pond pumps rather than those drawing power from the local electric grid. Solar powered pond pumps use solar panels to generate the electricity needed to power the pump. Solar panels for pond pumps convert the sun's energy, which is free to everyone, into a clean source of electricity.
Solar pond pumps can be used in many applications. These include solar pond pumps for waterfalls, fountains, streams, ponds, reflecting pools, water gardens, and many others. These pumps can be both submersible and external, so they are aesthetically pleasing while still being functional.
Solar pond pumps are available in a variety of sizes. They are available to fit landscaping additions from the smallest bird bath fountain to the largest waterfall imaginable for a water garden or pond. So if you are building a scale model of 'Old Faithful' in your backyard or placing a bird bath on your deck there is a solar powered pump available to fill your needs.
Solar power has evolved from the fragile, small instruments in scientific laboratories into a robust, sturdy, dependable source of electrical power. In this application, solar panels are available that can withstand strong wind, rain, hail, and large variations in seasonal temperature. No longer is solar power to be considered high maintenance. This system will be one of the lowest maintenance parts of your property.
In your next addition to your landscaping, you should consider using solar power to help your water flow perfectly and beautifully throughout your magnificent yard. Help protect the environment and your wallet! Use solar power to make your yard beautiful and cost efficient. Your family will appreciate it, and your local wildlife will appreciate the fact that you are aware of the environment and want to protect it.
