Outdoor Water Solutions Introduces New Line of Solar Fountains
Outdoor Water Solutions is introducing a new line of Direct Drive™ high efficiency solar powered fountains for 2018. Models include three different sizes designed to work in ponds from as small as a ¼ acre up to 5+acres in size. This line of floating pond fountains does not need nor require electricity and instead relies 100% on solar energy to operate.
Finding access to electricity to power fountains can be a real challenge in many cases due to distance and location. Many resorts and private ponds just don’t want the hassle or expense of running power lines down to the edge of a pond. If power has already been run to the site, it may only be 110 volts, which is insufficient to operate larger, more impressive fountain displays, many of which require a minimum of 220 volts power.
The other challenge is cost and cost allocation. According to a survey conducted by Hemsol, associations and private entities don’t want to pay a monthly electric bill or don’t want to divide up the cost between multiple parties. The benefit of a solar fountain is that there is no ongoing electric cost and no need to divide that cost up for everyone to share.
Sizes include 3/4hp, 1 1/2hp and a 3hp fountain. All of these utilize high quality pumps and motors carrying a full 5 year warranty, which is the longest warranty in the industry. Other features include cable quick disconnects for ease of maintenance and winterizing, stainless steel frames and intake screens and an industry leading control panel with solar controllers designed for optimal run time. Each fountain also includes your choice of up to six different nozzle patterns.
For 2018, these fountains will be sold through our network of Elite dealers. Pricing will be comparable to other high quality fountains on the market with the added benefit of not having to pay a monthly electric bill that can amount to as much as $300 or more each month.
