When creating a garden landscape, a smart fountain can instantly enhance the atmosphere of the entire space. Ismael Vargas of Vargas Landscaping and John Vargas of RustyTopFarm worked together to show us how to use the Poposoap 20W solar fountain pump to build a charming country fountain in a pastoral backyard.
1. First impression of the product: Poposoap 20W solar fountain pump
Poposoap's solar fountain pump stands out with its high-efficiency solar panel. The panel uses tempered glass, rainproof film and aluminum frame. It is not only durable and sturdy, but the upgraded 20W solar panel has high solar conversion efficiency, which is truly plug-and-play, without complicated wiring arrangements, and can bring stable and long-lasting water spraying effects.
From a functional design point of view, it is equipped with a water shortage protection function, which automatically shuts down when the water level is too low, effectively preventing the motor from burning out. The design of two-way filtration and detachable pump can prevent debris from clogging the water pump. What's more, it is also equipped with 2 replaceable filter sponges for easy cleaning and maintenance.
2. Fountain production process
(I) Test various nozzles and adjust water pressure
They first tested the 4 fountain nozzles equipped with the pump, using valves to flexibly increase or decrease water pressure, and find the most suitable water spray effect according to different needs and scenarios. This adjustability provides the possibility of creating personalized fountain landscapes.
(II) Clever installation of solar panels
The simple and smooth solar panel is very easy to install. They placed it on the nearby raised vegetable garden bed and easily started it by plugging and unplugging the wires. The 16.5-foot power cord allows users to freely find the best solar energy receiving position to ensure that the panel can fully absorb sunlight.
(III) Building a rural fountain structure
In terms of materials, a metal barrel was selected as the main container to set the rural tone for the fountain; short copper pipes and copper nozzles added a rustic texture; several holes were drilled in the plastic barrel, which was used to raise it on the one hand and cover the water pump on the other hand to protect and hide it; the cut wire mesh was covered on the barrel to add a sense of structure and prevent debris from falling in; finally, some smooth river stones were laid to create a natural and rustic atmosphere.
3. Finished product effects and recommendations
The completed fountain has become an eye-catching landscape in the backyard. The gurgling sound of the water brings a natural rhythm to the courtyard, which not only soothes people's body and mind, but also attracts many birds, butterflies and insects.
For birds, this is a good place for them to play and drink water; for butterflies and insects, the moist environment and abundant water sources around the fountain provide an ideal living space, making the entire backyard full of vitality.
From a cost perspective, the Poposoap solar fountain pump costs $86.99, and the other materials needed to build this rustic bucket fountain, such as metal buckets, plastic buckets, smooth stones, rustic copper pipes and copper nozzles, cost about $60-100 (depending on the size). If you want to save money, you might want to pay more attention to local yard sales or exchange markets, where you may be able to find inexpensive rustic accessories.
This solar fountain pump can become a focal point whether placed in the front or back yard. It is not only a simple water feature, but also an important element to add color to the courtyard ecological environment. It is worth trying for gardening enthusiasts and people who pursue natural life.
