Dad ought to let Hazel do the show sometime. See how that goes!

I have had both, the floating type and the detached solar panel type. The detached panel is the better choice in real world usage. The floating ones get water in the panel eventually and cloud over and stop working. Also if you have any shade, the detached panel can be placed away in areas with sun.

It's amazing how much water these little pumps will move my brother used to cruise the alleys one day he found a new decorative fountain turned out it was damaged beyond repair but the pump and lighting were okay my rain barrels by the house filled up during a rain storm and I had four extra barrels not hooked up so needing some way to get the water to the extra barrels I grabbed the pump from the fountain stuck a thirty foot length of plastic tubing to it and run it across the yard to the barrels I figured if I could pump some water across some is better than none it was still raining when I went out and checked it and the first extra barrel was full so I moved it to another it rained all day long and by the time I shut it down for the night all the barrels were full this is my 2nd season this year I'm building a first flush system putting gutter guards and tie the 3 by the house together I'm putting eavtrough on the garage and my sheds I'll use the pump to transfer water from the house to my barrels by the garden since the pump is 12 volt I'm going to hook it all toy a 12 volt solar system now to run the pipes under ground across the yard all the items I'm using are items others have thrown in the trash except the solar panels the controller I need to put a new battery in my jump starter pack also I'll need float controls but if you have Kijiji classifieds in your area or other free ad sites check out the freeby section and the garden section it's amazing what people give away or sell cheap

Dude, I've been looking for this video. Thanks millions.

After seeing the end of this, I'm ready to bring my query to the next level (buy parts to try).

Travis- perfect video at the right time. I'm doing a Japanese Zen garden with bamboo water feature so it will trickle into a bowl and overflow into the basin hidden underneath. Do either of the one's with the solar panel you mount have 'flow control' for the pump? I only have a 2' lift up the bamboo, then it will come down another piece of bamboo and I only want a trickle into the bowl so I need to be able to control the flow rate.

@travisjantzer

That sounds awesome! These do not have flow control but It would not be difficult to hook up some kind of valve in the line to do that. I'm sure you could find something cheap at a hardware store in the plumbing section.

Thanks this was so useful. I needed to know before I bought- Thank you!!!!

I so glad I didn’t purchase this solar powered pump. They claimed it would still work in the shade as long as there was some type of light which obviously isn’t true. Thank you for the video. :)

I've seen batteries for the solar units that would let them operate in less than full sun. Might be helpful to incorporate into the build.

I have 2 different solar panels that have the so called battery backup so that they will still run if it got cloudy and no they do not run when a cloud goes by or if a shadow covered it for a moment. I do enjoy making my solar fountains as I have no electric in my backyard or on back of house. Unless I want to run a looong extension cord from the garage and I’m not going to do that. So I just have to settle for the solar ones and be content with them not running constantly.

Excellent video mate! Just found this randomly after looking for off Grid solar rainwater pumps for off Grid and this popped up! Wonder whether these could have the power to pump water from a water butt? (Perhaps linked to a battery and the solar panel they came with??) Egm so the solar panel charges a separate small cheap battery so you have power when sun isn't put or on the panel?? Might make a good video if you haven't already?) Anyhow just subscribed to your channel i like you get to the point and don't drag it out like many do! Great style of video don't change that mate!!
