Solar Water Pump Arrived

The solar water pump which we bought over the internet finally arrived.  It took about 5 weeks.  It is a very tiny pump but hey it worked!  It needed strong sunlight to make the water shoot up properly.   However, I am happy.  To think I spend more than $600 for water pumps that did not last and worse of the 3 sets of pump and solar panel, one panel was cracked and could not be used.  Today, the price is so reasonable and pump a lot more reliable.  Technology has improved the mechanism and the solar cells.  So I am going to take a more ambitious step of spending a few hundred dollars for a flexible solar panel.  This way I can do a bigger project.
