Kelly, A Lorentz PS150 with CSJ5-8 submersible pump would give you about 17gpm. You can orient the pump on its side in the pool and also adjust the flow. We have sold many of these and have used them before in demonstration fountains and they work great.

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 "Sun Delight" pump that's 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 can't 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 I'd 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.

We've had one running since '98 with 0 problems. AEE has been selling them for years. Matt T Hi, Now with a retail store attached to our installing business, we are getting lots of requests for stuff of which we have little direct knowledge. The request of the month is for a small submersible pump which can run directly off a PV panel and make a small fountain. We saw one demonstrated at MWREF but failed to get info on it. Anyone had good results from a particular pump... longevity, etc. It seems that a lot of people here in Vermont have small ponds on their properties but no moving water. Any suggestions would be helpful. John CVSolar
