Showing the full kit of the solar pond pump SE500

The battery backup pack also comes with :

The Latest LiFePO4 Lithium iron phosphate battery

The solar panel pushes power in to the battery, then this power is used to run the fountain.

The battery comes with an on/off switch, so that you can turn the unit off and save up the power, then use this power when you need to.

You can choose to leave the unit on and it will manage itself by running with a power reserve, this ensures that when there is cloud cover the fountain will still operate, as it then switches to the reserve power. This way the fountain runs continuously and smoothly throughout the day.)

The minimum runtime from just the Battery pack is 10 hours, the average running time of the whole 500 solar kit on a sunny day is 18 hours.

The Pump

The pump is a very sturdy and powerful little unit, it produces 400 L/H, has dry run protection and comes with a float system, for easy fitting in deep water, simply attach the float to the pump and the pump floats on the surface. , You can easily Pump Water through Tubing, or attach the Spray Accessories, to make a Fountain Spray Feature, or a Bubbling Water Pot.

We do not gear our pumps too highly so you may see solar fountains claiming a larger height, but these pumps will need replacing, our pumps are designed to cruise and therefore they last a lot longer than the cheaper variety!

The Panel

The panel is 8 watt grade A Polycrystalline high efficiency solar cell in an aluminium frame, it produces a lot of power to feed the battery to ensure consistency of operation, it also comes with a very sturdy adjustable plastic spike, making it reallt easy to place your panel in the best possible location. Now also we have added a wall mounting bracket for sutomers to mount the panel on a vertical wall or shed for example.

Great Value

We believe that this unique product is the best value solar fountain with battery backup as standard in the UK in its price range

For customers who want to use the SE 500 with an existing water feature, by connecting the pump to a tube please call 07786948899 to check the details of your existing feature

During winter it is important not to let your battery go flat when storing the fountain

Its very simple - Installation Instructions for Solar Pond Pump with Battery Backup:

1. Selecting the Installation Location:

  • Choose a location for the solar panel that receives ample sunlight throughout the day.
  • Ensure the solar panel is installed near the pond or water feature, keeping the pump's lead length in mind. (5 m)
  • If wall-mounting, ensure the chosen surface is secure and receives adequate sunlight.
  • If using the ground spike, insert it firmly into the ground, securing it in a location with direct sunlight.

2. Mounting the Solar Panel:

  • If wall-mounting, use appropriate screws and anchors to securely attach the solar panel to a stable surface.
  • If using the ground spike, insert it into the ground at a suitable angle for optimal sunlight exposure.

3. Connecting the Pump:

  • Locate the battery box on the back of the solar panel. The pump plugs directly into the designated port on the battery box.

4. Turning On/Off the System:

  • Find the push button on the battery box.
  • To turn the system on, press the button. The pump will start operating when the battery is nearly fully charged.
  • To turn the system off, press the button again.

5. Adjusting the Flow:

  • If needed, adjust the flow of the pump to suit the requirements of your pond or water feature. Use the adjustable flow feature as necessary.

6. Checking for Dry Run Protection:

  • Ensure there is an adequate water level in the pond or container to prevent dry run.
  • The pump is equipped with dry run protection, but it's essential to maintain sufficient water for optimal operation.

7. Maintenance and Care:

  • Periodically clean the solar panel surface to ensure maximum sunlight absorption.
  • Check the pump and tubing for any debris that might affect performance.
  • Monitor the water level in the pond to prevent dry run situations.

8. Troubleshooting:

  • If the system is not operating, ensure that the battery is charged. Check the sunlight conditions and the connection between the pump and the battery box.
  • Refer to the user manual for additional troubleshooting steps.

9. Winter Storage (if applicable):

  • If you experience freezing temperatures, consider winter storage. Disconnect the pump and store it indoors to prevent damage.

Detailed Guide :

The 500 pond pump works as follows:

  1. Solar Panel: The 8W Grade A Monocrystalline solar panel converts sunlight into electrical energy. Monocrystalline solar panels are known for their high efficiency, and the greater than 20% efficiency indicates a relatively effective conversion of sunlight into electricity. The solar panel size is 348*200*17 MM mm, providing a surface area to capture sunlight.

  2. Rechargeable Battery: The pump system includes a 6V 4 Ah LiFePO4 rechargeable battery. This battery acts as an energy storage unit, storing excess energy generated by the solar panel during sunny periods. The LiFePO4 battery type is known for its safety and long cycle life.

  3. Auto Operation: The pump starts operating only when the battery is nearly fully charged. This feature ensures that the pump operates when sufficient energy is available, which is likely during sunny periods. This can prevent the pump from running in the morning when the solar panel may not receive as much sunlight.

  4. Pump: The pump has a maximum head of 0.8 meters (2.8 feet) and a flow rate of 400 L/H (68 GPH). These specifications indicate the maximum height the water can be pumped (head) and the volume of water the pump can move in one hour.

  5. Dry Run Protection: The pump is equipped with dry run protection, which means it has a mechanism to detect if there's no water available for pumping. This feature helps prevent damage to the pump in case the water level is too low.

  6. Adjustable Flow: The pump allows for adjustable flow, providing flexibility to fit various small to medium-sized containers. This is useful for customization based on the specific needs of the user.

  7. Float: A float is included, likely for applications where the water level may vary. The float helps to maintain a consistent water level for the pump to operate effectively.

  8. Lead Length: The lead length of 5 meters between the battery and the pump provides some distance flexibility for placing the solar panel in a sunny location while the pump operates in a different location.

  9. Wall Mounting Panel: The solar panel can be mounted on both the floor and wall, offering versatility in installation options.

  10. Season and Power Source: The system is designed for use in spring and summer, relying on solar power as the energy source.

Overall, this solar pump is designed to operate efficiently with solar energy, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for water circulation in small to medium-sized ponds or containers.

I have a very small pond - 65 cm circular. If I bought an SE 500 would I be right in thinking I could adjust the flow low enough to keep the spray inside the pond? If this is possible would it mean that this would use less electricity and the flow would be more consistent for longer?

Hi yes the pump has a flow control (in fact two of them), the lower the power is set, the more then the more is stored in the battery, making it more consistent in cloudier weather and longer lasting after sun down). In fact if you set it at 50% power on a sunny day the 500 will operate to midnight!

I am about to order Sunspray SE 500. Can you please confirm that this comes with some 8 mm tubing as shown on one of your pages?

Hi yes it does come with the plastic tubes as in the pictures

Does the battery back up need to be kept dry and where is the best place to site it?

Yes the battery system is completely weather proof. It needs to be sat horizontally on its base, on dry ground not prone to flooding. Then it can be left out all year round in the UK. The leads need to come out of the box horizontally for example running along the ground.

My pond is only 3.5 to 4 inches deep. Can the fountain work in this depth of water

Hi Yes the pumps are very compact, the Pump Dimensions are Length : 73 mm Width : 48 mm Height : 39 mm, so 3 to 4 inches is perfect
