An odd and unfortunate silence in the grome
Instead of replacing the second solar panel that’s gone kaput, it’s a whole lot cheaper to buy a plug in submersible pump for the pond.
A few weeks ago the first solar panel went kaput and stopped turning the blades of the fan. Yah, sadly so soon after I installed the second. Had it kaputted earlier, I may not have put a second hole/fan in…
It’s disappointing to say the least that a small solar panel only has a couple years of life. I’d live to support the industry but not with what could like a subscription to replacements!
This week the new plug in submersible shows up so I can keep the pond water moving and have the lovely sound of the waterfall trickle. (It’s variable speed so curious to tinker with that. The solar version would vary some with the sun’s strength, but not as drastically as the much smaller panel driven fan.)
