At 3.5 m of lift it pushes water higher than the larger-flow solar pumps in the range, which makes it the one to choose when the nozzle has to sit well above the water line — a raised bowl, a tiered feature, or a plume you actually want to notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it goes together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 40 W panel drives the pump directly, so there is no wiring to a plug point and no running cost. Position the panel for open sky, submerge the pump, and fit one of the three supplied nozzles to the extender pipe.
