Hi all,
My parents have had a little solar powered pond pump/fountain type thing for a while, and it's nice to get a little bit of moving water but unless it's in direct strong sun it struggles, unsurprisingly as it seems to be a 7w pump, with a 2w solar panel.
So I was wondering what options there might be for something with a little more oomph (10-20w type thing so nothing crazy), and whilst you can buy basically the same kit with a larger pump/panel my initial thought was to look to get a pump and panel seperately and then with some tubing make a waterfall type feature out of existing stuff around the pond and I thought there would be hundreds of options but it doesn't seem to be the case so wondering if I'm not looking for the right kind of thing or simply you have to buy a complete set/unit.
Anyone here setup more custom pond water features?
Cheers
