Solar pump and solar panel kit with battery pack, LED light and remote
Make your own outdoor solar spray fountain. This Solar Pump pushes or sprays water up to 48" high. It is perfect for outdoor ponds and birdbaths or you can make your own solar water fountain.
Let the sun do the work as water moves to the suns energy. The water flow level is adjustable if you want a lower spray height. The five adjustable water levels run from 12" to 48".
The battery pack charges during direct sunlight when the pump is running. In good sunshine, the pump will get power from solar panel directly and in the meantime part of solar power will charge the battery. With no direct sunlight the pump will run on the stored energy in the battery pack for up to 6 hours.
Note: LEDs only work at night and will turn on/off automatically
To operate this pump with the remote controller, press button "A" to turn on/off; press button "B" to adjust pump water flow, there are 4-step water flow for options you can try. Also comes with a timer that you can set at a 2 hour time limit. This means that after you turn on the pump, it will keep working for the time you set, then it turns off itself for saving power, if you need it to work again, just press button A on the remote again. It comes with a 24 hour memory cycle so you can run the pump at the same time each day if you like.
This solar kit comes with a 6V-12V DC brushless pump with a 16' cable. The 3W solar panel, included in this kit, can be placed within 16' of the pump, this allows you to place the panel in the perfect location for maximum sun light. A ground spike is provided to mount the solar panel on if needed. The panel must be in direct sunlight for the pump to work best.
The fountain head has 8 spray head options. You select which spray design is best for you.
Water flow is 80 GPH with maximum head of 48". The pump comes with adapters so you can make your own waterfall or convert an electric pump to a solar pump. The pump and adapters fit the inside diameter of a hose of 1/4" ,3/8" or 1/2". If you connect to a 1/4" diameter hose the head is 48", head is 36" if a 3/8" hose and head is 24" if a 1/2" hose.
The battery generally lasts between 12-18 months, but with repeated charges and discharge cycles the battery will become less efficient and battery capacity may reduce. If the battery does appear less efficient you may try and boost charge it. In order to boost charge the battery you must leave off for 2-3 sunny days to allow maximum charge to the battery. If the boost charge does not help the battery than you will need to replace it. A new battery can be found at local hardware stores.
