  • solar powered water pumps

    I recently saw an add for a solar powered water pump called 'rainperfect' though expensive I thought it could be the answer I am looking for reference watering my lottie rather than cans (what with an arthritic hip) to do runner beans etc that need a lot of water and for moving water around the plot generally. Has any one had experience of this particular pump or are they using alternative home made pumps?. currently I use gravity to move water around but trailing hoses can be a bind. I will be interested in how others get over this hurdle.

    Lez, I suspect it is something the fit don't think about. Before buying, maybe an idea to ask the seller about the ability of the pump. i.e. What rate of flow can be expected and over what distance etc. I have seen solar pumps in small water features but these are very small and require little power to pump water over a very short distance, in fact inches as opposed to feet/yards/metres.

    let us know how you get on.
