Solar Fountains and Solar Powered Water Features

There are many different kinds of solar fountains and solar fountain pumps.
They are available in many different styles. You can install the fountain
in an area that gets ample sunlight, and with no electrical wiring you are
ready to go! From cascading bowls, to freestanding sculptures, to deer scarers
these fountains produce the comforting sounds of flowing water. Solar is great way
to go for anyone who wants a fountain in a remote area, because you don�t have to
worry about an electrical run and therefore requires no monthly expense.

In fact not only will a solar fountain not have a monthly expense it can also
save you on your taxes! Because the fountain uses alternative energy (solar) it
qualifies for a 30% Federal Tax Credit. This is far better than a tax deduction
as it allows 30% of your fountain purchase to be deducted directly from your
federal income tax!

If you would like to enjoy the fountain at night you can get an additional battery
storage system that is charged ...
... during the sunlight hours and will last for up to
12 hours during the night. This is also quite easy to install.

Fountain pumps have two specifications that determine how suited they are for your fountain,
Head and GPH. Head is the height of the fountain and GPH (Gallons Per Hour)
is the volume of water. These must be matched with your fountain design.
Some fountains need a 40 inch head and 40-50 GPH. This would be a typical home garden
fountain and is perfectly suited for solar fountain pumps. Solar Fountain pumps
can range up to 160 GPH and 60? Head. It is not feasible to go beyond that with
current solar panel technology and still maintain a reasonable purchase price.

There are also floating solar fountains that can be installed on a pond or even a swimming pool.
Some of these even include attractive lighting features. So simply match your design
requirements with the current solar panel offerings and you are assured of an enjoyable
low maintenance solar fountain that provide that soothing sound of flowing water in your garden.
