Key features
Product overview
The Solar Fountain Pond Pump 500 offers a beautiful and sustainable way to create a garden water feature without the need for mains electricity. Powered entirely by a 10‑watt solar panel and supported by a 5‑hour lithium‑ion battery backup, this system ensures smooth and reliable operation – even during cloudy weather. Its energy‑efficient design means zero running costs, making it an eco‑friendly and cost‑effective choice for any outdoor space.
This complete kit includes everything needed to build a stunning water feature, including two fountain styles: Daisy Jet and Bell Jet, plus an LED light ring for added visual appeal. The pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 482 litres per hour and a pumping height of up to 1.7 metres, making it suitable for small ponds, decorative displays, or self‑contained features.
Installation is simple and flexible, with three setup options to suit your garden layout: place the pump on the pond floor, float it on the surface, or install it in the pump well for pump‑only use. The included float and anchor help keep the pump and light stable at the surface.
Designed for low maintenance, it features a bio‑mechanical pre‑filter with flow control, foam, and bio media to keep water cleaner with less effort. Its intelligent control panel offers three operating modes: Continuous On for all‑day use, Repeat Daily Timer for scheduled 4‑hour cycles, and On Demand for instant operation – ideal for garden parties or relaxing evenings.
For best results, the solar panel should face due south in full midday sun, free from shade. Optional extension cables are available to give you more flexibility when positioning the panel for maximum sunlight exposure.
