When you think about Solar you may not even consider the vast array of things and products available to you as a Solar How To Homeowner!

We sure didn’t realize all the neat things you can do and things you can buy…

Floating Lily Solar Pond Fountain

…until we started collaborating our efforts, resources and desires when it comes to solar for the average home owner and anyone else!

Check out this Floating Lily Solar Pond Fountain!  Wouldn’t it make for a nice addition to your water garden?

We think so.  Besides the fact that  it’s solar and eco-friendly, having a fountain in your water garden keeps any Koi fish you may include – healthy.

Just ask our friends over at Our Backyard Oasis.  They’ve recently put together several article “guides” about water gardens, plant selection and Koi.

With this water feature, the solar panel is built in to the lily pad. There’s a 6 volt solar pump, beneath the solar panel that continuously circulates the water up through the center spout which creates an upward spray (of up to 18″.)   The water then falls back into the pond or pool with beautiful water sounds!

Solar how to likes to bring you all kinds of tips, tricks, guides, products and ideas that you can use to get going with solar.

We hope you like this idea of adding a Floating Lily Solar Pond Fountain to your existing or “in the works” water garden.

There’s just something almost mystical about the sound and site of water. I truly believe that one could successfully use this gorgeous hand crafted multi-tier antique brown ceramic solar fountain as a prominent form of stress relief. A Water fountain nestled in your favorite garden area makes for the perfect relaxation product.

The best part is that this water fountain is solar and can be used anywhere outdoors because it requires no electricity!

It uses a state of the art solar panel and solar pump technology. Power is supplied to the fountain from natural outdoor sun and light.

It comes with a 10 ft. solar cable so you can place the solar panel in a hidden area that gets plenty of solar gain.

The 6 volt solar pump in the bottom basin continuously circulates the water up to the top pitcher, where the water cascades down the levels into the pool of water in the basin, making sweet, soothing water sounds.

This fountain includes everything you need, is self contained and needs no installation. It will definitely give you many years of soothing joy. No need for any tools or any kind of installation.

Outdoor Lighting Tips

How to choose the right size exterior light for your home?

Keep in mind that most consumers purchase lights that are too small for their porch or patio, simply because the lights look bigger in lighting showrooms than they will when installed outside.

The rule of thumb is that fixtures should be approximately one-fourth the size of the entry door. If you’re going to use only one fixture beside a door, then the light should be one-third the size of the door.

Why this large? Well, outdoor fixtures when viewed from the street will look one-half the size they really are. You also want to have an adequate light throw from the outdoor light to properly illuminate your porch or entryway.

For some addition tips and tricks to outdoor lighting you can visit our Backyard oasis friends now.
