This is great for my new water feature! The pump is tiny and unobtrusive. And the cord to the solar panel is long enough to place it in a sunny spot in the garden.

We bought this pump a few month ago and it worked great on our outdoor fountain. The fountain itself is nearly four foot fool and the pump is lifting the water about 24 with plenty of flow to provide for a great looking and sounding display. …Would definitely consider again as we are thinking of adding some fountains to the back yard.

Love this solar fountain. I’ve had other fountains that the solar panel floats in the water with the fountain.…The plat panel doesn’t get slimy from being in the water and you can put the fountain in the shade as the cord is long enough to have the panel in the sun.…

So much fun for so little money! I have several of these in my bird baths. When it is really hot, the hummingbirds hoover and dive bomb the spray. Also good for thirsty bees.

Fun in the sun. Pretty weak pump and will not work unless full sun is on the solar panel. I will get a better, bigger solar panel. The pump works just fine.

Good for a small fountain

This is great for my new water feature! The pump is tiny and unobtrusive. And the cord to the solar panel is long enough to place it in a sunny spot in the garden.

Nice Small Fountain

This is for decorative purposes only. Don't expect it to power a waterfall. It works well. Good price.

Perfect for my fountain

What size tubing do i need? i'm looking at 3/8in o.d. x 1/4in i.d. - is that the correct size?

I believe so. Are you using it for a fountain. Usually it's the size that come with fountains.

What is the difference between Maximum lift and maximum water height?

I would think that it is the same thing. I have mine in a fountain with a 3/8 (6mm) I.D. hose and in full sun it easily lifts the water up 2 ft of hose and out the end 4 inches.

Even works in the shade most of the time

This makes my fountain work all the time as the pump that came with it I hardly ever saw the water running in the fountain

Great fountain pump!

This pump was very easy to set up and worked with ease. If you choose a sunny location, the pump has a very good output volume.

Solar Fountain works great!

The Solar Fountain has been in operation for about 2 weeks and everything is terrific!…

Can the solar panel be mounted? If so, how?

Fountain is outside. Cord is 10 feet long. I have the panel laying in a sunny spot in the flower bed. Not sure what purpose mounting would do, just lay it on the ground and let it face up towards the sun. It’s simple. I wouldn’t make a lot more work for myself by trying to mount it somewhere. If the sun shines on the panel, it pumps water. If sun doesn’t shine on it, find a spot where it will!

The pump doesn't want to keep running. Solar panel works fine. I dont want a refund but an exchange, how do i go about do that?

First can I ask, did it ever run in the beginning? I am not sure what yours is runnng in but on my outdoor fountain the water soon had a lot of junk in it. From grass clippings to algae to bird poop. I had my pump in the filter bag it came with to protect it. But this summer I was changing the water every 5-7 days and cleaning off the screen every time. Might want to be sure that the problem is not that gunk got in the pump. And if this was the first thing you checked, sorry I mentioned it.

Great Service - easily handles a 24 water rise

We bought this pump a few month ago and it worked great on our outdoor fountain. The fountain itself is nearly four foot fool and the pump is lifting the water about 24 with plenty of flow to provide for a great looking and sounding display. …Would definitely consider again as we are thinking of adding some fountains to the back yard.

Perfect for the wine barrel fountain/pond

Works great in my wine barrel fountain. Feeds a tube that flows through a 3 foot high fountain.… Note: this would be too strong for a birdbath, but great for medium sized ponds and 3 to 6 foot fountains.

Perfect for our koi pond!

…The beautiful and adjustable fountain was a wonderful surprise!

I have a 36 inch recirculating 3 tier fountain. Will this work for it?

I have it on a 30 in high fountain now, and there seems to be power spare.

I have a small fountain that I am looking to circulate the water in. Does this include the accessories necessary to move the water up about 2-3 feet?

This pump is actually pretty powerful. Yes.

Great solar powered fountain

Love my Solariver solar powered pond fountain!…This means my fountain runs night and day. Strong pump makes a beautiful spray fountain.

Great addition for your fountain

Very efficient

Wine Barrel Fountain

We used this to make a solar water feature out of small water pump, half wine barrel & liner. Worked great for nearly two years in all kinds of weather, running on all sunny days (and some partly cloudy). The solar part is still usable, so we might just get another pump and create a second water feature.

Great replacement for water fountain electric pump

Moved our out door small garden fountain that was powered by an electric pump to a location by our pool that had no electrical service The purchase of this solar powered pump was the answer Works very well and pumps good water flow about 18 high Would recommend this for a good pump replacement for ponds or fountains

Highly recommend this kit !!!

… I really like this fountain kit!... I specifically ordered the 5 watt panel as my fountain is small. At full/direct sunlight the fountain sprays water within the fountain only.…

Love it

This works great for a fountain we have in our back yard.…

Works just fine.

This was purchased for my brother's fountain, I know it is doing its job and is no problem for him to take care of.

Really nice pimp

…I hooked it up to a 15 Watt solar panel and it does a beautiful job on our outdoor fountain.

Would this work for a 3tier water fountain?

Yes. It does work with 3 tiers water fountain.

Will this work on a three tier fountain?

Depends on the size of the fountain, we have customer use 196GPH version and 10W 12V panel have great success. If the plastic tube inside the fountain is 1/2 inch, you can connect directly to the pump without the nozzle kit. Also, make sure your fountain have enough space to hide the pump and keep in mind the pump need to be covered by water all time when it is running. The depth of the water need to be more than 2.5 inch in order to cover the pump.

Works great directly off a solar panel

…I will be ordering more for future fountain projects.

Good pump

Bought the 410GPH pump to replace the old AC pump I had in my fountain after moving it to the back of my fence line.…Did a quick test run by hooking it straight to the battery and it worked fine will be nice to have the fountain back up and running.

Delighted

…You have a fountain that runs all day for free! As you can see from the enclosed photo, it's plenty powerful to move a lot of water and if you place one of those blue toilet tank cleaner chips in the water, it not only looks beautiful but it also keeps the fountain clean!…

I have a bird bath with fountain on top. will this pump water up o my fountain?

I don't really know. This pump is the fountain. I don't know if the two could work together.

I need the pump to push water up a 2 foot tube on a free standing waterfall fountain. Will this unit handle that?

Yes it will, Easily

It's a small pump for a little fountain

And it appears to work okay.

Much better than what I anticipated

This little solar powered fountain pump works like a charm.…

What is the minimum water depth requied? Will I have to continually fill my large bird bath throughout the day? Water evaporates quickly.

Hmm. I do ‘t Know the answer. I decided not to use the fountain with it because I didn’t want to be continually checking to make sure the water was deep enough. You will ruin the pump if there is no water when the sun is out. Instead I hooked a tube on the end. I put the pump at the bottom of my tiny pond and snaked the tube around rocks so it comes out as a little stream I couldn’t be happier with it!

Works well for the price

…This actually powered a medium sized 3 tiered fountain.…

Fountain

Wish it had stronger flow

Only works in direct sun

…I stupidly epoxied the cord into a fountain before realizing this so I’m really kicking myself.

Solar water pump to convert a garden fountain.

This tool is very versatile, my need was to solarize an old ceramic Garden Fountain ⛲. …I clamped the hose to output pipe of the pump housing and fed the 2/8 tube into the 3/8 tube that was in the fountain ⛲ since it was manufactured.…

Great little solar fountain!

…I love this fountain it perfect for my bird bath!…

Awesome fountain!!

I am very happy with this fountain.…If you put the solar panal where it continues to get sun all day, the fountain will work right up to when the sun goes down. I put my fountain in a birdbath and the run time is perfect. I cannot tell you how the other fountain attachments work in the different water patterns because after setting up my birdbath, I misplaced the bag of attachments!!!…If i buy a fountain for my other birdbath, this will be the one I buy.

Can I use this to replace the pump in a small waterfall fountain?

Yes, you can use this to replace the pump in a small waterfall fountain. Thank you.

Can I use this in a satue fountain?

Depends on how much of a sound you want. It is a little spray into the air and just a trickle sound. This one is more for movement of water to keep mold from forming in a bird bath. No sun--no spray.

CJ
Very nice small fountain!

Works like it says! More appropriate for table top, but I put mine outside. The spray is strong for such a small pump. Very pleased.

Wonderful solar fountain

I love this fountain.…I have posted a video of my fountain.

Great little fountain

Works perfectly. I love it.

Does covering part of the solar panel affect how high the fountain sprays?

Yes it does

Nice little fountain

Very cool. I had to go to a Big Box Store to get a longer plastic hose, but that wasn't outrageously expensive, and it's teaching my grandkids about solar energy. Kind of wish it had an on/off switch instead of having to unscrew the connection line to turn it off, but it's easy enough..

Pond fountains do more than make your garden or fishpond ultra-cool. A pond fountain works to keep your garden of fishpond healthy by circulating the water and providing much needed oxygen for fish and plant life to thrive. Using a solar-powered pond fountain is an even better choice because it is environmentally friendly and won’t put a serious dent in your electric bill. Solar-powered pond fountains come in a variety of styles including floating and can be used in large, medium, or small ponds.
Besides greenery and stones, water is an essential element of a well-balanced garden. Conventional water fountains may use up too much resources, but a solar pump is the best way to go if you want to save both energy and water. On this list, we’ve reviewed the best solar pumps on the market one by one to help you make a careful decision.
Birdbaths and ponds are nice but the water can get stagnant and the birds may not find it an interesting place to visit. With a bird fountain installed, you can keep your bird fountain or pond well oxygenated to keep the water cleaner longer. It also produces adjustable spray heights so that you can entice the birds to visit while also adding charm and flair to your property. 
"Just keep swimming," and in order for the fish in your pond to do just that, they need a multitude of things to survive, thrive. From filters to aeration kits to pH level testing kits, having the knowledge and the proper things in place will ensure a healthy habitat for your beloved fish. And when it comes to equipment, make sure it's capable of handling the size of your pond, and you're able to meet the specific specifications such as storing the aeration pump indoors for it to operate correctly and such. And if all of above seems like a mouth full of pellets, need not worry. We put on our floaties and took to the worldwide fish tank in search of some of the best pond supplies known to the industry.
