Hi, I've been given a waterfall system and I've bought a tub, and my plan is to install it in my garden. The pond will be a nature pond, so I'm not too concerned about sizing for fish etc.

However, I would like to power the pump (not bought yet) via solar power. Most solar powered systems I can find online are seemingly for water features, rather than a waterfall system.

Any advice or recommendations welcome!

This question comes up from time to time and I think the consensus has always been that solar pumps aren't quite there yet. You could probably rig up a panel to run a pump, but that's not something most people really want to see in a garden I guess.
