This solar-powered filter kit combines mechanical and biological filtration for optimal pond health.
Efficient Solar Panel
12 W Grade A Polycrystalline solar panel with > 20% efficiency ensures consistent power supply.
Customizable Filtration
Choose between zeolite or gravel media for superior water clarity and biological filtration.
Flexible Usage
Adaptable for various applications including filtration, pumping, and decorative fountains.
MPPT Battery Backup System Option
Enhance the reliability and consistency of your 700 LPH filter system with our advanced MPPT battery backup option. This feature is designed to optimize the pump's running times, ensuring continuous operation even on partially cloudy days.
The battery backup acts as a control unit, drawing and storing power when conditions are optimal, and switching to battery mode during periods of heavy cloud cover. This ensures that your filtration system maintains operation despite fluctuations in sunlight exposure.
Increased Running Times: Provides extended operation, allowing your system to run for longer periods. For example on a sunny summer day 14 - 16 Hours running time!
Consistent Performance: Maintains a steady flow of water, enhancing the overall efficiency of the filtration process.
Impact on Performance: Note that the inclusion of a battery backup reduces the maximum head height and flow rate by approximately 20%, but significantly improves operational consistency.
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.
For solar filter kits, we highly recommend incorporating a battery backup to maximize operation time and maintain a healthy pond environment.
