Solar fountain pumps are, for many, the best kinds of pumps for fountains. For the most part, you use your solar pumps the same way you would use regular fountain pumps -- the difference is that you will not have to find an electrical outlet to plug the pump into (perfect , if it is far from a power source), nor will you have to worry about increasing your energy costs by using it.

Here is some general information and tips:

Battery -- many solar fountain pumps do not come with a battery. This means that they will only run when the sun is out -- they will not work at night, and few work on stormy, overcast days. It is possible, however, to get a battery upgrade.
Submersed -- you should never run your pump unless it is fully submersed in water. You may need to refill your fountain often to maintain a proper water level. If you are leaving town for an extended period of time, you should turn your fountain off.
Clean -- clean your fountain regularly (at least 4 times a year). Algae growth can clog the pump.
Shade -- the pump can be kept in the shade, as long as the solar panel is placed where it will receive the most direct sunlight possible.

Because the power used to run a solar fountain pump comes directly from the sun, you do not tap into the electricity that runs the rest of your home -- this electricity generally runs off of nonrenewable resources, and it often releases harmful emissions. Solar fountain pumps, on the other hand, have no adverse effects on the environment.

Also, when you use a solar fountain pump, you do not need to worry about any sort of complicated wiring -- you do not even need to connect it to anything. Because of this, you can place your solar fountain pump anywhere that you want to. You can even have it running at a remote cabin in Vermont -- it is low maintenance, as well. So, what are waiting for? Pick up your very own solar fountain pump, today!
