For anyone interested in adding a water feature to thier garden, the Solar Powered Fountain Pump is an excellent choice. This simple, affordable fountain runs automatically off of sunlight. No ugly, complicated wires or environmentally harmful batteries are necessary. Not only that, but the movement of the water helps keep standing-water pests, like mosquitoes, at bay.

Anywhere you have direct sunlight, you could have a new fountain bubbling away. This particular fountain comes with various nozzles, too, meaning that you can fully customize the look of the spray. From a powerful pond jet to a small burbling spring, the calming visions and sounds of a fountain are easy to add to any garden with this solar pump.

Need some inspiration? If you know you want a water feature but aren’t sure how to begin, this is the article for you. Here are fifteen lovely home uses of the solar fountain pump to get you started.
