Can i use this pump on a solar powered cascading fountain?

You would need a larger pump based on the height. There is an equation to figure out what power you would need. This is just a small fountain; maybe 6 inch rise. I would still recommend the brand; they do carry larger pumps.Good luck :)L

Best pump ever, my fountain is cascading also. Only thing is that if a cloud, or shade stop the light coming intoThe panel, it stops. The company does sell one with a back up battery but it is more expensive.

No, this cannot be used in a non pressurized solar water heating system. The intent of using the non pressurized solar water heater is to not pressurize it, which this pump will do. Instead check out this schematic: http://www.xiankesolar.com/products/details-49.shtml

Solar panels are really meant to be used to charge batteries, generally (highly recommended) via a charge controller. 12V devices (such as your pump) can then be connected directly to the battery terminals -- the battery acts as a voltage/current buffer. The batteries are generally deep-cycle (such as RV/marine batteries). The problem with connecting a pump directly is that the voltage from the panels will fluctuate depending on load and solar loading, and not all DC motors do okay with fluctuating voltages -- you'd have to check that this is okay with yours.

I would say yes, but be aware of the operating amps of the pump. Other than that it should work.

I don't know because I used 3 12v deep cycle batteries with a 55W solar panel charging them. The pump runs off the batteries.

6V is within the range of 5-24V, so it should be okay to drive it with a 6V power supply. If your fountain pump is running on a 6V DC power (not AC), then I would assumed that it will work fine.

It could, but this is such a tiny pump that it would only be good for a tabletop fountain. You would need to make sure that the plug would not be exposed to the elements.

You will have to determine your load(amps) and the amount of time you run your pump per day. This small solar charger is about the same as a trickle charger at best and is used for much smaller batteries on feeders that only run for a short duration each day.

Yes and No. The different heads will change the height but there's only so much pressure from the pump and it's a very small and simple solar panel. With the single spout the water comes out the highest. The most it usually hit was about 2-4 inches. I live in Florida so I have plenty of sun.

The capacitor is not a battery,you will still need to have it charge and have a battery connected to cap.you will still need a battery to keep it charge. But if you have your Solar panel connected to a battery and cap then to pond pumps,yes it would work great......but solar panel by itself will not charge cap. Plus once you disconnected cap from battery the cap will lose power immediately. Solar panel will keep your battery charge and the cap will stop the pumps from draining battery

Its only produces 7 amps,so no its not likely the pump would run at full capacity.

That is the exact pump we have and we use it. You may have to get attachment tubes that match fittings, ours fit without extra tubing. We also have a solar water panel that runs with it. No issues with any of it.

I dont see any reason that you could not use it. You can easily take the pump apart to check the impeller and the metal for connecting the hose appears to be brass. I used it to pump water through a solar heater for my spa and had no problems.

Well the pump is a submersible pump so if you have it plugged into a place that the plug is protected from the environment I do not see why not.

Technically you could, but you'd need a lot of 'em. Grid-tie systems tend to have more power. If there's one near you, I'd suggest contacting a local solar power shop to talk about grid-tie; those systems are much more complex and regulations vary from location to location.

First check the wattage on your deice, I have mine connected to two pool pumps and it works perfect
