In this video I unbox, instal and review a solar pond pump which is to be used in my new goldfish pond.

you sir are a saviour! Strangely enough (just before finding your video) after days of research, I'd shortlisted this very pump from the very same website! Its so difficult to find accurate data on solar pumps and pondkeeper was about the only place where the claims weren't clearly nonsense. Ive seen much smaller, cheaper, pumps claiming ridiculous flow rates and one even state it weighs 2500kgs?!?! Even on B&Q their "specs" are complete and utter nonsense. And they're making completely different claims for flow rates for the same pumps in lph and gallons. I made a water feature last year with an ebay pump claiming 400lph last year, it just about does the job but more likely is about 150lph. I doing larger one this year and want better (and higher, about 1m head) flow. Fairly certain I will go with the 800 from pondkeeper, however one thing im not clear on is it seems to suggest the switch over from solar to battery (when it clouds over) is a manual process? That you need to press the button on the solar panel to do so? Could you confirm if this is the case please Mark? (seems odd if so, I just want it to run regardless without needing to press anything if it clouds over) You should ask pondkeeer for a promo code (and freebies for you) since folks are watching for the update on your new fish pond. Thanks for the video

Hi there. I'm not entirely sure about the answer to the switch thing but I believe it is automatic as mine just keeps going until a couple of hours after dark then starts on it's own next day. Pondkeepers did give me a discount code but unfortunately it got abused by a discount code website so it had to be pulled sadly. I'll be speaking to them very soon so I'll ask again. Thanks. Mark

Hopefully, it will last longer than most of the other solar kits out there. The constant charge and discharge will eventually kill the battery, so good that you have the option to permanently plug it in.

I'll keep an eye on this. Thanks

Great video! I'm thinking of running something similar through a small bog filter in a very lightly stocked pond. Any issues you can think of with doing this?

@MarksHouseandGardenUK 9 ай бұрын

Well the only potential issue is that it will stop and start depending on daylight/night-time. Otherwise if you're ok with slightly intermittent pumping

The pond wont be deep enough to stop it freezing and the solar pumps are terrible in the winter. Pipes freeze over and burn them out

@MarksHouseandGardenUK Жыл бұрын

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I suspect you are incorrect about it freezing. My experience of 35 years with ponds none have frozen so deep in to the ground and this is in a sheltered spot. It will be fine. Lastly, the pump will be OFF in the winter.

@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Common sense would say its best to remove the pump from smaller bodies of water for Winter, thats what i do with the one i made last year anyway. As you say, since yours will be below ground it should be ok.
