solor powered pump

[okiee]

Wondering if any one has had any luck with solar powered pump for the pond? I have a very small pond for just plants and maybe some mesquito fish.

Are you talking about the fountain head one or just the pump .Both are not rated very highly because they do not run for very long even on a full charge .

Well I bought one from harbor freight today and it's the pump and spray head. The pond is only 60 gallons for frogs and birds but I was looking for one with a battery back up.

So you bought a solar powered one okiee? Did it not have a battery back up? And let us know how well it works.

yeh saw them at harbor freight when I was there but never had luck with solar stuff either the battieries go bad or the solar lens clouds over and it will not power the battery up
