Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of having a backyard waterfall feature?
A backyard waterfall feature brings a sense of peace and serenity to your outdoor space. It also reduces unwanted noise, boosts your home value, and can house an ecosystem for fish and aquatic plants.
Will a solar water pump work for a waterfall feature?
Yes, a solar water pump will work beautifully for your outdoor waterfall feature. They are easy to set up and high-functioning to give you the perfect flow of water.
How deep does my water need to be for a solar water pump to work?
Solar water pumps must be submerged fully in water for them to work. Based on the product design, many can work as shallow as 4 inches or as deep as 20 to 30 feet. Just be sure to purchase the right pump for your project. The Solariver™ 900+ GPH solar water pump is designed for waterfall use.
What happens if the water level of my waterfall drops too low?
Solar water pumps by Solariver™ that were released after March 2020 are dry-run protected. In other words, if the water level dips too low, the pump will not continue to run, but will automatically shut off to protect it form burning out.
How do I determine the best solar water pump for my waterfall project?
Knowing which solar water pump to choose for your waterfall project will depend greatly on the details of it, including how large your waterfall feature is. The Solariver™ 900+ GPH solar water pump is designed for waterfall use.
Can a koi pond be included with a waterfall feature?
Yes! You can absolutely include a koi pond with your waterfall. The falling water will help keep the water clean, healthy, and oxygenated for a thriving environment.
Does the solar panel have to be in direct sun?
Yes, solar water pumps run on energy from the sun. That means the panel needs to have access to sunlight without anything blocking it, such as trees or structures. Keep in mind that on a cloudy day, the solar water pump will continue to run.
How can I keep my waterfall going at night?
Solar water pumps require the energy from the sun to operate. Once the sun goes down for the night, the energy is cut off. If you’d like to keep it running, you will need to have a battery that will store the energy during the day so that it may be used at night. Note that Solariver’s pumps do not come with an attached battery.
Is a solar water pump high maintenance?
No, solar water pumps are not high maintenance. It is one of the many reasons they are so popular for backyard water features like waterfalls and fountains. You should clean and maintain your pump once or twice a year. If you notice it is not running as efficiently or at all, it may be time to clean it.
How long will my solar water pump last?
The longevity of your solar water pump with a brushless motor from Solariver will last about 3 to 5 years on average. Caring for and maintaining it properly can extend its lifespan. This is great news for those looking to enjoy their waterfall feature for an extended period.
Does a solar water pump require professional installation for waterfalls?
No, Solariver’s solar water pumps do not require professional installation. They are designed for easy setup. Follow a few easy steps and you will be up and running in no time— First, submerge the pump in water. Then, connect the pump to the solar panel, ensuring that the solar panel has full access to the sun. It’s that easy.
