Solar Fountain Kit with 2000mAH Battery Backup Glass, 3.5W DIY Solar Water Pump with Sucker and Stake, Solar Fountain Pump for Bird Bath, Water Feature,Pond, Outdoor-7 Nozzles,16.4ft Power Cord

I have this fountain in a bird bath on my balcony. It's been great all summer. You have to break everything down & clean it out periodically, but that's expected. I like the different nozzles & being able to change up the spray. They will clog with dirt though, so wash them with a brush to clean out the holes. The solar panel works great on my south facing balcony & it has a long cord so you can tuck it out of sight away from the fountain. It's bougie on a budget. Would recommend.

what a great little fountain for my bird bath bowl.. several attachments to give different types of water streams. the cord for the solar panel is very long, which is good because my yard has spotty sun and I have to chase it. the panel itself is very nice quality too.. once the little device is fully charged (not sure how to know that except a full day of sunshine seems to do it) it will continue to function in low/no sun for some time.. For me however with no full day of sun location it will only work when the panel is in direct sun. If you have more opportunity for sun placement of the panel you will LOVE this thing. I love it and it only works part of the time through no fault of its own. oh and the birds seem to enjoy it

Update: lowered to one start as the pump died after about eight weeks.First the good: This is an excellent pump with good power - if anything the head pressure is a bit too much (see "flaws" below). The cord is high quality and long enough to place the solar panel in a sunny spot. The panel and battery work very well with a steady flow even on a cloudy day. I really appreciated the water level sensor that keeps the pump from running dry - these pumps usually end up draining a smaller bird bath as the wind blows the spray out of the bowl. When this happens the pump will be protected.The flaws, and there are a few: The pump is too strong and the spray will end up landing outside smaller bird bath bowls. An adjustable flow rate would have been appreciated at this price. The pump doesn't work well in deeper (two inch) bowls. The spray head ends up below the surface of the water and the spray pattern doesn't break the surface well. Including a simple extension piece, as many solar bird bath fountains do, would have helped significantly. Without an extension, six of the seven spray heads are worthless in a moderately filled bowl. On the plus side, this uses the same pump riser diameter as most other solar fountains so I was able to borrow a piece from a previous pump. The biggest flaw, and it's a show-stopper, is that the water filter holder is poorly designed. The pump has a small square of filter material keeping plant debris from being sucked into the impeller - this is a good idea for an outdoor pump. Unfortunately the holder for the filter block is open at the top. Either the filter floats out when the pump is off or a curious bird steals the block - either way the pump quickly becomes blocked without a filter. Fortunately the package includes extra filters but after losing two filters in two days, I had to fashion a wire cage around the filter holder to keep from losing the filter. Designing the filter holder to properly retain the filter could have solved this issue but instead the customer will have to devote time finding a way to keep the filter in place. This is very disappointing for a pump in this price range.

The media could not be loaded. We've had this pump since July and created a small bird bath for our feathered friends. We use the bubbler to minimize over spray and water depletion as our bird bath is small. We've not used the other included 6 nozzles but they do offer a higher spray if desired. We find our birds prefer the bubbler. We've had so many visitors who bathe and drink. The long cord allows me to place solar panel in an area that gets all day sun while keeping the bath in a secluded shady spot. The solar panel is glass which works great and battery back up keeps us bubbling on cloudy days. The powder is sufficient to bubble and keep water circulating. TIP: this pump has a water shortage protection shut off. If this occurs. Unplug from solar panel, remove from water, remove the black filter and nozzle. Snap off filter cap and pull out the interior fan piece. Wipe off and reassemble. This may solve your issue.

I bought the upgraded solar fountain with rechargeable battery back up. It took a few days for it to be consistent with cloudy skies or sun down. The 16.5ft long cord from the pump to panel is a great for our greenhouse patio where sun is not consistent. Just move from one end to the other where the sun gets blocked from the building shadow. It comes with a stake and the panel angle is adjustable. Easy to put together and came with multiple sprinkle or spouting disc's to change up the spray.The in sun water spray height is very nice. As the skies get cloudy and sun goes down, it does reduce the spray power but keeps going at about half height ( pic #2 is cloudy most of day taken after 6pm).So far, it does not run through the night yet it runs longer than any without the battery. It helps prevent standing water bug issues and adds a nice soft water feature noise to the area.Have had this a week and am very happy I went with the upgraded model. Perfect addition for a wide galvanized wash tub pond I am growing mini water locusts in.We love utilizing solar lights and to find a small solar water pump for the mini pond feature that works this well, deserves a rave posting. Great value and quality for the money.Yes, I do wish it would continue through the night for those weekend gatherings. But for the price, the quality exceeds what we expected. We are ordering one for my mom so she can have a little pond water feature on her balcony with her plants and not worry about power cords.

The media could not be loaded. Good quality, much above the expectation considering the price. Thouthful message in a card in the box added a kind personal touch. Pump works well with nice flow if exposed in direct sun but also when in the shadow, as far as it has been exposed to sunlight enough to charge the back up battery. Wire is quite long for product of this price range and the filter in the pump to prevent early clogging is a good addition. Decent manual instruction, long time I don’t see this in a product made in China!I definetely reccomend.

This does exactly what I wanted; a pump that will circulate the water in our bird bath so that we don't get insect larvae growing in it. I enjoy the fountain aspect more than I thought I would. The cord for the solar panel is long so I was able to place the solar panel in an area that always is stays bright and just bury the cord. The solar panel is glass so it should last a lot longer than plastic ones. The pump turns on and off during the day and the battery seems to keep it working when the light isn't as bright. It's not a powerful pump but it's exactly what I needed for a shallow bird bath.

It worked great for a few days but then it just stopped doing anything. I’ve troubleshoot anything I could think of and still no luck. Have to return.

This unit works well. The long power cord is a bonus. With full sunlight it shoots water right out onto the lawn. I used elastic bands and leaves to fasten the leaves to the solar panel to cut the sun power down a little. Works Great!!!

Love the colors and all the choices for spraying. I do have to keep it on low for the size of my container, but this would be awesome in a large pond. It also creates a very zen sound. It was a cheap alternative to a new fountain.
