Water Fountains - Find The Advantages Of Solar Water Fountains
Solar power water fountains are something that is becoming popular as our country emphasizes the importance of being environmentally aware. From putting solar panels on your roof to fuel your home with the power of the sun, to using heating and air conditioning units that run on solar energy, people everywhere are doing their part to be green. If having big, shiny panels on your roof just isn't for you, there's still a way that you may use solar power. Hence, solar power water fountains.
One of the biggest advantages of using solar fountains is that they are economical as they do not involve energy consumption and expenditures associated with it. At the same time these solar fountains offer great tax benefits because there is 30% Federal Income Tax Credit for use of the devices. The feature of the solar power fountain is that it could be mounted anywhere as well as in the remotest a part of a city, town, or village. Best part of it is that such fountains are not only energy economic but they are safe and easy to handle.
The owner also need not worry about the availability of conventional powers as there is no necessity of functioning electrical installations and have monthly expenses in the process. The placement and positioning of your solar powered fountain is very important. You need to place the solar panel of fountain in a position where it gets lots of unobstructed sunlight. Ensure that the solar panels are tilted in the appropriate direction to catch all the light as possible. Ensure that the panel is not surrounded by many trees that might block the sun rays.
Solar fountains perform indoors and outdoors. The only thing that solar fountains need is sunlight. This means that it's not just great outdoor fountains, but work in any space with numerous natural lighting. When you have a greenhouse, an enclosed porch or patio or any having a big window which receives a great deal of sun you can almost certainly keep solar fountains working. Solar fountains function in winter months. Light, not heat, creates solar energy. You will get less light in winter, but even on over cast days a solar fountain can function. It does not flow as strongly, but thanks to the effectiveness of the solar panel it’s still converting light to energy. With an additional battery storage system that is charged during the sunlight hours, the unit could continuously run for over 12 hours at a time.
Lastly, solar powered wall water fountains need virtually no maintenance. Lots of people keep away from outdoor additions like fountains because they think it’s not only costly to buy one it's also costly to maintain it. Solar powered fountains confirm that maintenance is not something that owners need to get caught up with. With no moving parts or dangerous materials, these fountains are primarily maintenance free and safe for anyone near them.
How can I power a small fountain/pump 50 ft from an outlet?
I am making a 25-30 gallon container water garden with a couple goldfish. I would like to have a filter/fountain in it, but where it will be is 50' from the closest electrical outlet. A solar fountain is out of budget, so I would like to run an outdoor extension cord under the ground. Years ago, my Dad ran two 100' unprotected outdoor cords between two houses and left it there for about 5 years without problems. But my situation is a little different. It will be underground, and it will be running almost constantly. Is this feasible? If so, how can I protect the plug at the pump? Electrical tape?
Thanks!
Run from the closest outlet to the fountain using the appropriate size wiring for the current load. Use UF cable not the NM. Bury the wire to the required depth, we use 18" here, and come up with conduit and to a weatherproof box, as was mentioned in the other answers. The UF is good for direct burial, but if you'd feel safer, or you are going to be digging in the area with plantings then run it in PVC pipe for extra protection. Good luck.
