Solar DC Low Voltage Water Pumps

Solar and low voltage pond pumps

Solar and low-voltage DC pumps run a fountain or water feature without mains wiring near the water. They suit ponds at the far end of the garden, rural properties and anyone wanting to cut running costs.

Will solar work for my pond?

Solar pumps run best with several hours of direct sun on the panel. Flow drops on cloudy days and stops at night unless you add battery storage. Solar suits decorative features and small ponds. Fish ponds that need 24/7 filtration usually need a mains or low-voltage pump.

PondMAX solar range

The PondMAX PS600, PS1700 and PS3500 solar pumps cover small features through to larger displays. Add-ons include:

• Solar backup battery box: stores daytime energy so the pump keeps running into the evening.
• Solar smart switch: controls when the pump runs.
• Extension cables: let you place the panel in full sun away from the pond.

Find cables and switches in pump accessories.

Low voltage safety

Low-voltage DC pumps are a safer choice around water, children and pets, and can be installed without running 240V cable to the pond.
