Update: I just took a look at the statue. The height that water has to rise is,actually, only 15".

janna...you can do about anything that you would like with this little pump...maybe fill a small round dishtub with water...put your pump in it...add a grate of some sort on top...(like an old grill grate), cover with rocks but leave the plastic tube (from your pump) sticking up the middle to splash water over the rocks. And here's a link to the GJer's Inspiration Album for "ponds & fountains"...maybe that will inspire you. Have fun & share pics, please! Jeanne S.

I am interested in this as well. We have a small basal column and I refuse to dig up the pathway to run electricity to it. I'd love to find a powerful enough solar pump under $100, but I've looked everywhere.

Actually, the technology and marketing for solar pump has changed quite a lot along with the time passing by. The cost for solar panels has droped significantly since the year of 2012. Chinese solar panel manufacturers are accused of dumping their products to Europe, so that European Union has imposed higher tariff on Chinese solar panel import, while the punishment does not affect the solar pump import since solar pump is more of a pump than a solar panel. The good side of this matter is that the solar pump manufacturer in China can purchase much cheaper solar panel due to the over productivity of Chinese solar panels, therefore the Chinese solar pump manufacturer can sell their solar pump at a much favorable price. We are a manufacturer in China specializing in solar pond/fountain pump kits for water feature, waterfall, fountain and drip irrigation, solar pond air pump kits for pond oxygenation, filters for pond water filtration and associated battery backups. Compared with mains power, solar power is environmentally friendly, easier to install and has no operating cost, but perhaps even more importantly, it is much safer for kids. We have exported our products world wide for more than nine years, mostly to Europe, USA and Australia etc. and established a good reputation. Moreover, all of our products are CE and RoHS certified.
