    Anyone here got a solar powered fountain in their pond?

    If so what one do you have? and is it any good/reliable?

    I'm tempted to get one, but as with most things solar right now i'm skeptical it won't work very well or be any good.

    So I'm open to suggestions

    I don't really want to run a proper electrical fountain because the pond is about 100 feet from the house and it will just be a pain in the ass.

    Solar powered. This is interesting. So, when it is a bright day, the energy gathers from the energy of the sun. Can this energy be stored for a long time?

    Or, the fountain will only work on a bright sunny day?

      This article says that solar energy can be stored:

          Fatfoo, yeah the one's I have seen only work during the day which sucks. But I could store it with battery's or what not.

          probably not worth the hassle doing it that way.

          Might have to be an electric one for me I think which will be fun

                    8 watt should be pretty fucking good
