Have you been looking for a way to upgrade your outdoor space? If you want to improve your yard or your business, a fountain can create an upscale atmosphere or enhance the natural beauty of any location. 

Now, thanks to solar fountain pumps, you can put a fountain anywhere on your property without access to electricity. How do solar fountain pumps work? Are they worth it? Learn more about these handy gadgets that can make it easy to achieve the desired look. 

A fountain pump is the mechanical part of a fountain that moves the water. A solar fountain pump runs on solar energy, meaning it doesn’t need electricity to work. For an outdoor fountain, there is plenty of natural light to keep a solar fountain pump running during the daylight hours.
 

A solar pump contains two main parts, the pump and the solar panel that powers it. The solar panel is connected to the pump with a cord. As the light shines on the solar panel, it creates energy that moves through the cord to the pump itself that cycles the water. 

Benefits of Solar Fountain Pumps

Solar fountain pumps offer many benefits: 

• Off the grid. A solar fountain pump won’t add to your electric bill because it doesn’t use electricity. 
• Environmentally friendly. Solar energy is clean and won’t impact the environment in any negative way. 
• No electrical access required. You won’t need to run power lines or bury power lines under the ground to reach your fountain. 
• Flexible placing. You have complete flexibility to place your fountain anywhere on your property without access to electrical wires. 
• Safe for fish and aquatic animals. If you’re creating a pond for fish or other aquatic animals such as frogs or turtles, a solar fountain pump is a safe option.
