Solar Fountain Pump Kit with Separate Solar Panel, 1.8 W Upgraded Solar Water Pump with 9.84FT Cable & 4 Nozzles Solar Water Fountain for Bird Bath,Pond, Patio Garden Water Pump with Built-in Filter

This little thing works! I did have to drill the holes on one of the tips to get a more custom fountain, but I would buy again absolutely!

Jay Fray delivering the blunt truth about this solar fountain pump kit with separator that arrived fresh but completely failed to work! Purchased this solar fountain pump kit with separator expecting functional solar-powered water feature for yard decoration or pond circulation. The pump arrived brand new but doesn’t work at all despite being fresh out of packaging. Solar panel functionality proves nonexistent with panel either not generating power properly, failing to charge internal batteries, or simply not connecting to pump motor electrically. Solar equipment must convert sunlight to power - this one doesn’t. Pump motor either won’t run at all despite adequate sunlight exposure, operates so weakly it can’t move water, or makes grinding noises suggesting internal mechanical failure preventing operation. Assembly or connection between solar panel and pump shows problems with components that don’t fit together properly, wiring connections that fail, or design flaws preventing proper system operation. The separator component either doesn’t function as intended, clogs immediately preventing water flow, or proves unnecessary complication that adds failure points without improving fountain performance. Quality control failure becomes obvious when brand new fresh equipment arrives non-functional. Products should work immediately upon installation - receiving dead equipment represents complete manufacturing or quality control failure. Troubleshooting attempts prove fruitless with pump that simply won’t operate regardless of sunlight conditions, water levels, or installation adjustments attempted. For solar fountain features requiring reliability, receiving non-functional equipment fresh from packaging demonstrates product quality problems warranting immediate return or refund. For water features needing dependable operation, invest in quality solar fountain pumps from established manufacturers rather than equipment that arrives dead despite being fresh. Jay Fray verdict: Complete solar fountain failure arriving fresh but non-functional. Total waste receiving brand new equipment that doesn’t work requiring immediate return!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This little pump works great. I like the choice of nozzles to create different fountain effects. So easy to use and reliable too. The price is reasonable and it makes my little bird bath attractive to birds and bees! Water flow is very good so if you don’t want the water to be too strong on the outflow, just put part of your solar panel in shade. You can adjust it that way.

Bought one and didn’t work. Pump wasn’t working despite solar panel being under full sun. I requested an exchange and I got the new one today and it works surprisingly well. My fountain bowl is a bit smaller for the splashes but will definitely work on a pond. It won’t work at night though, only when under full sun unlike other solar panels that charge for the night. I’ll see how long it takes until it stops working and come back :). If you’re hesitant, don’t be! But if yours don’t work, request exchange!!

This little thing is very powerful fot how tiny it is but only runs while the solar panel is in direct sunlight. If a cloud blows by, it stops & restarts once the panel is back in full sunlight so i guess it doesn't have a rechargeable battery on the panel it will just run on sunny days & never at night or when its overcast or a cloudy day.I ordered to use in a 16 in planter that Im making into a patio fountain/ pond & i feel like its too powerful for this size bowl. I think it would be best for something larger in diameter than 16 inches because the water splashes out alot while its running. For the price, this is a very affordable option for a solar fountain if you dont need it to run 24/7!

This pump/fountain works as advertised and isn't very expensive, but has its issues: No ON/OFF switch, so unless panel cable is unplugged the pump will run continuously whenever panel is exposed to sufficient ight even when pump does not have water. No battery, will not run at night or very well without direct sunlight. During overcast sky, or a passing cloud, the water flow is low or intermittent. Cannot easily mount the solar panel, it would be better if the solar panel came with some type of mounting device for best placement.

nifty little bird bath pump. early morning indirect sun gets it going. full midday sun generates quite a stream. with no nozzles, just the outlet tube, I get 1 inch bubbling up in weaker light, and a good 8 inches in strong sun. I'm not even inclining the solar panel. it just lays flat on its back.

Don't do it! I ordered these because the size of them is perfect for what I needed which was a chicken, water fountain in a baby pool. Well they don't work. They're fully submerged fully charged in direct sunlight and it just spits out water. I tried to get help and no response and no ability to return them because they're out of the package and used is what I was told.

Für meinen Miniteich mit 150l habe ich eine kleine Pumpe gesucht, die das Wasser bewegt. Für diesen Preis kann man nichts verkehrt machen, also habe ich das Produkt gekauft. Sie kommt mit verschiedenen Auslassdüsen, die alle relativ knapp unter der Wasseroberfläche sitzen. Wer die Pumpe so nutzen möchte, sollte sie auf einen unter Wasser liegenden Stein stellen, oder den Auslass mittels eines Plastikrohres (für Aquarium, Zoohandel) verlängern, und dann den Aufsatz aufstecken. Ich habe stattdessen einen Aquarienschlauch angebracht und die Pumpe mit dem abgebildeten Brunnen verbunden. Die Förderhöhe bei mir beträgt 60cm. Das Video wurde bei leichter Bewölkung aufgenommen, auch dann läuft die Pumpe noch. Die Behauptungen hier, die Pumpe liefe nur mit VOLLER Sonneneinstrahlung, sind nicht korrekt. Wichtig aber ist, dass das komplette Solarpanel unbeschattet ist und "gen Himmel" gekippt. Das Kabel zum Solarmodul ist wirklich lang, so dass das Modul an einem optimal exponierten Platz vollsonnig angebracht werden kann. Teilbeschattung sollte vermieden werden, die Pumpe benötigt jeden Quadratmillimeter des Moduls. Sie läuft seit mittlerweile 3 Wochen ohne Ausfälle bei Sonne. Um den Motor zu schützen, habe ich sie in einen Block Aquarien Filterschwamm gepackt und einen Stein hinzu gegeben, damit sie immer unter Wasser liegt und damit das Flügelrad nicht so schnell verdreckt. Nachtrag 01.09.24: Die Pumpe läuft noch immer. In den Bildern seht Ihr meinen Aufbau. Im ersten Bild erkennt man den wirklich kleinen Schwamm vor dem Flügelrad. Je nachdem, wo Ihr die Pumpe betreiben wollt, wird sich dieser, sowie das Gehäuse um das Flügelrad, mit Mulm zu setzen. Wenn Eure Pumpe also nicht mehr funktioniert, nehmt einmal den Schwamm heraus und reinigt ihn gründlich unter fließendem Wasser. Auch das Gehäuse kann man öffnen und vorsichtig mit einem Wattestäbchen reinigen, damit das Rad wieder frei dreht. Im Zweifel fragt irgendeinen Aquarianer, die können allesamt Filter reinigen. Im folgenden Bild seht Ihr den Schwammblock, den ich als zusätzlichen Filter um die Pumpe gelegt habe (aufgeschnitten und reingesteckt). An den Auslass habe ich den Schlauch zum kleinen Brunnen angeschlossen. Die Pumpe fördert bei mir auf 50cm ohne Probleme. Wenn es bewölkt ist, fördert sie immer noch, aber nicht mehr so stark. Nachtrag 06.04.25 Die Pumpe hat den Winter im Teich verbracht, das Panel an seinem Platz. Auch bei Minustemperaturen hat sie brav gepumpt. In der letzten Woche plötzlich nicht mehr. Heute habe ich sie heraus geholt und den Umfilter (Bild), das Schwämmchen der Pumpe und das Innere des Flügelrades ausgespült und gereinigt, es war mit Mulm zugesetzt. Fazit: läuft wieder/immer noch. :-) Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Just put this in a water feature and it's been working most of the day. It is very sensitive in that it stops immediately even if it's in shade, so does need to be in direct sunlight. There is no on/off switch so would need to turn the panel over to stop the pump running if there is a risk of water drying up - so can't just be left and forgotten on a hot summer day. So far so good though, enough "pump" to get the water to the top of my water features so it runs back down - about 30cm, so I'm happy for now.

I used this to make a hummingbird water bath. The pressure was perfect. I made my own fountain head so never used the ones it came with. I love that the cord and be separated from the fountain head for storage in winter.

This worked for a few days and now does not. It is very annoying because it has been epoxy-ed into the base of the flower pot holding the fountain. Impossible to remove without taking the entire thing apart and re-epoxying a new one. Also, the nozzle heads are very hard to get into the base and, once in, cannot get them out.

Funktioniert einwandfrei, allerdings muss die Sonne schon direkt auf das Panel scheinen....
