Why Choose a Solar Fountain Over a Grid Tied System?
Whether you’re adding a touch of beauty to your pond or want to keep the water moving for better clarity and mosquito control, solar fountains are becoming the go-to choice for pond owners across the country. Why? Because traditional AC-powered fountains often come with strings attached – literally. Many of our customers came to us tired of long extension cords, sky-high power bills, or the hassle of running electrical lines across their property just to enjoy the sound of running water.
With a solar fountain from RPS, you get all the beauty and benefits without the complications. That means no digging trenches, no electrician visits, and no worries about power outages.
Our solar fountains are ready to go with easy DIY installation and are designed to run with sunlight and keep going even after the sun goes down (thanks to battery backup on select models). They’re perfect for rural properties, off-grid living, or anyone who just wants a simpler, cleaner setup.
Customers tell us all the time how much they love the freedom of solar. Whether it’s for a backyard pond, fishing hole or HOA entrance, our solar fountains add elegance and movement without the recurring costs or tangled wires. It’s a smarter way to bring your water feature to life and it’s easier than you think.

No Wire Trenching
No Electrical Permits
No Outages
Trenching wire over 1000 ft to a pond costs an average of $10,300 – a Solar Fountain from RPS saves you tens of thousands of dollars of construction and power costs!
Fountains vs Aerators?
Fountains are a powerful tool for preventative maintenance and water enhancement — helping to keep your pond clear, healthy, and visually appealing.
A fountain-based management strategy will:
• Improve Circulation and Water Movement
• Prevent Stagnation and Algae Growth
• Enhance Oxygen Exchange
• Support Fish Health
• Add Beauty and Visual Appeal to Your Pond
Our Solar Fountain Series Pumps are high volume pumps – floating submersible or self priming suction. Add healthy oxygen and circulate your pond’s water! There is no other solar fountain pump kit like this on the market! Healthy water means algae-free. Easy to install!
• Our range of fountains produce between 5-40 lbs of oxygen per day.
• Improve your pond’s health and add aesthetic flair at the same time!
Our RPS engineers spent all year developing a solar powered air compressor kit that is now the most unique technology we’ve found anywhere on the internet to aerate your pond! Easily assembled and installed by one person in a single weekend, lifting no more than 18 lbs at a time.
• The solar powered air compressor pushes oxygen through a weighted hose down to a bubbling air stone, aerating multiple pond thermoclines with fresh O2.
• Supported for pond bottoms up to 15 feet deep.

We’ve also got your back every step of the way. Our U.S.-based team is just a call away to help troubleshoot or answer questions before, during, and after installation. With RPS solar fountains, you’re not just buying a product—you’re gaining the power and confidence to do it yourself.

Why RPS is #1?
How does RPS compare with other pump brands?
Consumers historically have had lots of choices when it comes to AC-grid powered fountains. For solar there are far fewer options because it’s a much smaller market. Frankly, the big European corporations we compete with just don’t care that their fountains are ridiculously expensive pumps that must be installed professionally at great expense or their warranty is void. We focus ONLY on solar and have iterated and developed much faster than these European corporations making our systems more reliable on US soil. Cutting out multiple middlemen in the process has made our systems cheaper for our customers without sacrificing quality.
Like in most industries we also compete with lots of cheap products, both from the US and from Asia. Cheap brushed motors, flimsy plastic diaphragm pumps, and fake warranties are making a bad name for solar. We have stayed strong and maintained our high quality knowing that integrity, quality and reliability win in the end.
Our reputation for our commitment to our quality products, warranty and honest, friendly and respectful support is why more customers continue to trust RPS.
What Pond Owner’s Like You Are Saying:
“I’m very impressed with it. I mean, how it all went together. I spent this weekend putting it together and the parts, parts and pieces are just, I mean it’s just top notch everything’s, you know, stainless and aluminum and everything fit together just right. I mean really, like the thing turned on and it was like, oh, that is awesome! I absolutely love it. And you know, I enjoyed putting it together. It was fun and, yeah, it went together very well.”

* Ponds under 2 feet are too shallow for a fountain, so most customers go with aeration at this depth. Or for any pond, combine compressor aeration and aesthetics for best of both worlds in the Spray and Bubble 800 Kit (F400 Fountain + Air400 Aerator)
With RPS there are no middlemen or distributers so more money stays in your pockets. Systems are self-installed keeping costs down. We honor our veterans (many on our sales team have served) and non-profits with additional % discounts and bulk discounts for larger ranches.
Our engineering culture runs deep with both our owners. Each winter our engineering team comes together to improve our systems even more. Combining customer feedback and R&D from the year, we improve the model offered for the next year without increasing prices.
A Simple DIY Setup = Endless Enjoyment for the Whole Family
Algae Control | Mosquito Control
A solar fountain keeps water moving—breaking up stagnation that algae thrive in. By circulating the water and increasing surface agitation, solar fountains help reduce nutrient build-up and deter that thick green film from forming. The result? A more beautiful pond, less muck, and more time enjoying the water instead of cleaning it.
Still water is a mosquito’s dream. A bubbling, constantly circulating fountain breaks the water’s surface tension, making it impossible for mosquitos to lay their eggs. That means fewer buzzing pests and a more enjoyable backyard experience for you, your family, and your guests.
Winterization
Aerating your pond in the winter can be beneficial for the health of your pond, especially in colder climates where ponds freeze over. Ice and snow that cover a pond will block sunlight, preventing aquatic plants and algae from producing oxygen, which can lead to a winter fish kill.
RPS will help guide you through how to protect your solar fountain pump in the winter, depending on your location.

FAQ
OUR PLEDGES TO YOU
1. Be a company our Grandfathers would have trusted. The trend of ‘outsourcing’ customer support after the sale is a trend we wholeheartedly oppose. We are an American, family run company and our USA engineers support you before and after the sale.
2. No sales pressure. Ever. Nobody in the company is paid on commission. We think this is important. Their role is to make sure they find the right pump for you and your well. If we don’t have a livestock solar pump that will suit your needs, we will help you find a solution elsewhere. Our job is to help get you water.
3. Reliable Water. All manufactured products have occasional issues and we can’t claim to be perfect. However, we are proud of a near perfect track record in getting our customers water. This starts with selling a pump sized for your usage with our Water Assurance Plan and promptly addressing warranty issues to get you up and pumping again quickly.
4. Give you the power! When you control your ability to pump water out of the ground, whether that is in the field or at home, it makes you more resilient and independent. We are here to help educate you about solar water pumping for livestock and our systems over the phone, with our manual, and our great videos online, so you can install yourself. Take control of your water supply today.
5. Fight for the American farmer & rancher. RPS is a David & Goliath story of a small American company fighting against a big European pump corporation that cares more about profits than the longevity of their pumps and the sky-high price for ranchers. Thanks to all our customers for the support of small business vs. foreign corporations trying to profit off some of the hardest working people in our great nation.
