I purchased the ECO-WORTHY Solar Fountain Water Pump Kit (10watt) to replace an A/C powered water pump in our water feature. The water feature is located in the corner of our property and quite far from an electrical outlet.
The new solar pump works very well !!! In fact the pressure is at least double that of the electric pump, so I installed a flow valve to reduce the water flow. The solar panel is excellent during sunny days, however when clouds obscure the sun or once evening comes, the pump stops working until the sun is shining again.
Since we like sitting outside in the evening and love the sound of running water, I went back to the distributor to ask if they possibly had a battery backup pack that the solar panel could feed during sunny times. They Did !!!!!
The solar panel comes with a 16’ cable and an extension cable (16’) is also available. I ordered the battery pack and the 16’ extension cable and the setup now is superb. If you want a totally hands-off solar water pump installation - this is the one you need then. It’s a solid performer !!!!
The solar panel feeds the battery pack. The battery pack supplies power to the pump. And the pump runs all day long and beyond sunset. It’s a perfect setup !!!!! The battery also comes with an A/C power charger that you can use should you have too many consecutive days of overcast. Just charge the battery pack and plug it back into the setup.
I’ve attached pictures to show how my installation works. I did upload the pics And a video but can’t seem to find them anywhere - I’ll try again.
