Hi.
We fancy one of those solar water features, but we are not sure which solar pumps are the best.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Cheers

We had a simple solar water feature that squirted water up about 300mm from a small pond, the battery details might have been in the small print on the label but I can�t remember. TBH, it was so cheap that when it packed in a few years later, we weren�t fussed.
I�d suggest you go to a reputable garden centre that sells pond supplies, they’ll advise.
I just have one of those small round free-floating devices that's capable of pushing out quite an impressive jet in good sunlight. In poor light it just goes 'plut plut plut' very quietly so it's for summer use only really. I had to rig up an underwater frame to hold it in the centre of the small round container pond, otherwise it floated to the edge and squirted water over the patio and I had to keep topping the pond up. The sound of sprinkling water in the garden on a sunny day is delightful though.

Biggest issues are not much sun in winter and filter gets blocked up constantly. However they do look nice, but we would never have another one.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
