Solar Powered Water Fountain

Solar powered water fountain

Today’s post inspiration came from working in the yard this weekend.  My husband has wanted to put in a small water feature for some time.   So, he found what he thought was a great deal – a stone water fountain for less than $300.   Turns out that it didn’t include the water pump and we’d have to trench wires to the fountain for its operation.

So, why not a solar powered water fountain?

Turns out that my idea has already been considered (of course) and a number of sites sell these items for a solar backyard or garden.  Like solar garden lights, Among the benefits of using solar power in your garden is that you will not have to trench and wire electricity to a solar water fountain.

Use solar power to operate pumps for garden fountains

Solar powered water fountains start as low as $40.  Small solar panels are usually employed to harness free solar electricity to run the pumps necessary for a garden water fountain.

Wondering where to buy a solar powered water fountain?  You can find them at major home improvement retailers and online.  Here are just a few sites:

I am relieved to find that I don’t have to worry about trenching or wiring to install a water feature in my backyard.  With solar power, I can have a convenient, easy to install and operate water fountain or bird bath.

What do you think about a solar powered water fountain.  Do you have one, or does it sound like a possible answer to your landscaping issues?
