This kit removes that problem: a 25 W photovoltaic panel drives the submersible pump directly, so there is no plug point, no electrician, and nothing added to your monthly electricity bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel converts sunlight into 18 V DC and feeds the pump through a 5 m lead. Point the panel at open sky, drop the pump into the water, fit one of the two supplied nozzles, and the fountain runs. Output peaks at 1400 litres per hour and rises and falls with the available light — strongest around midday, gentler in the late afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing it to your pond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe usual guideline is to turn the full pond volume over once every one to two hours, which puts this pump in the right range for small ornamental ponds and container water features of roughly 1 400 to 2 800 litres. Maximum lift is 2.1 m at zero flow, so mount the nozzle low relative to the water line if you want a strong plume rather than a trickle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak flow: 1400 L\/h at water level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum head (shut-off): 2.1 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump rating: 10 W, 18 V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolar panel: 25 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutlet connection: 12.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump cable: 5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow control: none — output tracks available sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntake: removable foam pre-filter on the pump base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 V DC submersible pump, 10 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 W solar panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo fountain nozzles with extension pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaylight only.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no battery in this kit, so the pump slows as the light drops and stops after dark.
