Floating solar powered fountains for back ponds

[apte]

I am interested in making a floating pond fountain, using a solar panel and dc pumps. I am making this to irate my pond.


Any suggestions

It is best not to make your pond irate. nothing good will come of irritating it.http://www.solarpaneltalk.com/images/icons/icon10.png

What size aerator pump are we talking about? Most of the ones I know of for floating operation are 1/2 hp and larger. At that power level makes is impractical from an economic point of view to use solar.

A submersible I use for hydroponics claims 5000 liters/hour, 0.5 bar head and uses 115 watts - aquarium online stores have a selection of fountain pumps.
