How about running a conventional 120v pond pump off of an inverter powered
by the 12v battery.

I can't find much via google on serious 12 volt pond pumps. Are there any
r.p.m readers using one, or know of one that can pump suitable volumes for
use in a 5000+ litre pond?

I'm interested to know the power requirements and feasibility of running
from a car batter charged by photovoltaic panels. The price of solar
panels seems to be dropping all the time, and with energy costs going up
it might be worth looking into.
