Schönbrunn Solar Fountain

As a stylish decoration, the solar fountain sets a summer accent in gardens, terraces, green areas or conservatories. On a gently curved grey-black basalt base rests a water basin with a black fountain sphere, with an opening from which gushes a constant stream of water. Via the staircase-like stepped outer skin of the fountain ball, the water runs back down into the pool to begin its journey again. The result is not only a visually attractive water feature, but also an acoustically soothing water landscape that invites you to relax, offering a meditative and refreshing backdrop for a cozy cup of coffee or barbecue. Both the base and fountain ball are made of polyresin and designed in the form of hewn basalt blocks, giving them a particularly noble, indestructible charm. In dark hours or at night, the look of the fountain is emphasised by a crown of attractively bright LED lights that provide an atmosphere for its outdoor surroundings.

What makes the solar fountain special is its complete independence from mains power. As the name suggests, it is fed solely by the power of the sun. So that this works properly, it contains a solar panel with an approximately 300 cm² large photovoltaic area. Even on cloudy days, this ensures that there is enough power to operate the small pump and drive up to 200 litres of water per hour to bubble through the opening of the sphere. Extra energy is stored in the included rechargeable battery. Fully charged, the battery can supply enough power to run the pump and the LED light wreath of the fountain for up to eight hours. There is no additional power cost for continuous operation. A ground spike is included for mounting the solar panels, so that the solar cells can be easily and quickly placed optimally in the sun throughout the day. Alternatively, the bracket attachment can be firmly installed. 

The entire system is equipped with large cables, giving you ample freedom in the placement of the parts. The 5m-long lines for the pump and LED wreath as well as the water-resistant plastic material allow for the installation of the fountain ball with or without the base in the centre of larger ponds — as if it were the throne of the Frog King himself. The hose, which is hidden in the ball, effortlessly ensures the transport of water.

The Schönbrunn from DURAMAXX is completely controlled via a control panel on the battery. Here via a mode switch, you can select between solar and battery. The LED lights automatically turn on when the solar panel shuts down when it gets dark, or when you select battery operation.
