Hi all, We have a pond with rockery and small cascade (< 5-ft total head) with a solar-direct pump for demonstration at our office. The Dankoff ³Sun Delight² pump that¹s been running it for a year (plus at shows for the last 8 years) has given out and needs to be replaced. We tried a 12-V bilge pump but that lasted about a month. In previous subject threads (example below) back in 04 there were several recommendations for the Oase AquaSolar pumps, said to be carried by AEE and others. However, I can¹t find these pumps in the AEE catelog, or even on the Oase website.
We ran the Sun Delight on a 75-watt, 12-volt module, but I¹d like to upgrade to a freight damaged, Sharp 175W (24 vdc) to allow the cascade to flow more in low sun conditions. Any current suggestions, or sources? Thanks, -Kelly Kelly Keilwitz, P.E.
