If you are looking to install a water fountain in your garden why not choose a solar water fountain? Most gardeners agree that the look and sound of a water fountain is hard to beat – they can give a sense of peace and serenity to any backyard. Not so long ago, the only options you had when installing a fountain was to plug it into the mains electricity. This was often a turnoff for some gardeners because it usually means employing a qualified electrician to ensure the safe combination of water and electricity.
These days with the advent of solar power, the gardener’s options are greatly expanded. Solar water fountains are cheap, easy to install and great for the environment! In case you didn’t realize: you can use the stored energy during the NIGHT as well as the day! Plus they last for years.
Solar Water Fountain
The great bonus of solar water fountains is that they do not have to be located near the mains electricity. You can choose to locate you garden in the best area of your yard for aesthetic rather than practical purposes.
The pump for the fountain will have a solar panel attached that can transform the energy of the sun’s rays to circulate the water in the fountain. This means that the panel itself must be located in direct sunlight for best results.
Most solar water fountains these days come readily assembled. All you have to do is find the appropriate spot to put the fountain. This is even easier with the solar fountain because there are no electrical wires to get in the way.
If you want to put your fountain in partial or complete shade, you can find some solar water fountains that come with longer cables which enable you to place the panel some distance away from the fountain itself.
The great thing about solar water fountains is that you can find them for less than $150 (think of the savings on your power bill), they are easy to install and are very portable.
