Overview & Setup

Set the filter box and pump in the pond and position the solar panel to receive direct sunlight, then allow water to circulate through the filtration stages. The system is intended for small fish ponds up to 1000 litres, with output influenced by sunlight conditions and how the equipment is placed.

✓ Ponds up to 1000 L ✓ 700 LPH flow rate ✓ Integrated pump & filter ✓ MPPT battery backup included ✓ 25 W solar panel

As with all solar-powered systems, performance depends on sunlight availability. Best results are achieved in direct sunlight, with reduced output during prolonged overcast conditions or outside peak summer months.

Solar Power & Filtration System

The system uses a 25 W solar panel to power a DC brushless pump, delivering steady circulation for filtration. Mechanical and biological filtration stages work together to remove debris and support a balanced pond environment.

Solar Panel

25 W polycrystalline panel designed for outdoor use and efficient energy capture in suitable sunlight.

Filter Media Options

Compatible with zeolite or gravel media to support biological filtration.

System Flexibility

Suitable for filtration, circulation, and decorative water features.

Integrated MPPT Battery Backup

This system includes an integrated MPPT battery backup. Energy collected during sunny periods is stored and used when light levels drop, helping maintain more consistent operation during variable conditions.

Exclusive MPPT Technology – Developed for Solar Pond Pumps

PowerBee Ltd was the first company to introduce MPPT-managed control systems into small garden and pond solar pumps — a level of solar optimisation previously used mainly in larger-scale applications. Our MPPT design helps improve energy conversion in variable light, supporting more consistent flow and stronger usable performance in real UK conditions.

MPPT optimisation helps maximise usable pump output

Advanced Solar Optimisation

  • MPPT helps track available solar power
  • Improves efficiency in changing sunlight
  • Supports more consistent pump output

Improved Low-Light Performance

  • Helps maintain usable flow on dull days
  • Reduces drop-off in variable conditions
  • Battery models extend operation further

Industry-Leading Pond Pump Design

  • First MPPT adoption in garden pump systems
  • Developed specifically for ponds and water
  • Trusted across PowerBee solar pump ranges

How the Filtration System Works

Mechanical Filtration

Foam filter stages capture solid debris, reducing waste build-up within the pond.

Biological Filtration

Filter media encourage beneficial bacteria that help break down waste products.

Performance Characteristics

When correctly installed, the system delivers its highest flow at low head heights, with reduced output as pumping height increases. Performance varies depending on sunlight and installation conditions.

Flow Rate by Pumping Height

Height Flow (Solar) Flow (Battery)
0 m 700 LPH 560 LPH
0.6 m 480 LPH 380 LPH
1.2 m 250 LPH 200 LPH
1.7 m 70 LPH 0 LPH
Max height 1.9 m 1.7 m

Performance figures are indicative and based on controlled testing. Results vary with sunlight, season, and installation.

  • Performance varies with sunlight
  • No manual control required

Mechanical Filtration

Water passes through foam filters that capture leaves, debris, and suspended particles before returning to the pond.

  • Removes visible debris
  • Helps maintain water clarity
  • Protects pump from blockages
  • Easy-to-clean filter media

Biological Filtration

Filter media provide surface area for beneficial bacteria, supporting natural breakdown of waste compounds.

  • Encourages beneficial bacteria
  • Supports pond ecosystem balance
  • Helps manage fish waste
  • Natural filtration process

Water Circulation

Continuous water movement helps distribute oxygen and reduces stagnant areas within the pond.
