Lewisia 1.8W Solar Water Fountain Pump for Pool Koi Pond Pot Bird Bath Garden Decoration Solar Powered Submersible Water Pump Kit

Every year I buy one or two solar pumps for my pond and or my patio pond pots, (generally they don't have a long life so I end up replacing them each summer). I have tried all kinds of small solar pumps and so far this is my favorite model. The pump worked the second the sun hit the solar panel and the fountain seemed stronger and higher than the other models I have purchased in the past. I really like that the solar panel has a steak on it with a long cord so you have much more flexibility in where you place your fountain. The solar panel can be placed in the garden or a flower pot and still stand above plants (the other models with just a panel tend to get knocked over or rearranged by raccoons). The swivel on the solar panel also allows for tilting of the panel to capture the most light. I set up the fountain shown in my attached photos and video to show how I set up this pond pot for my sister's garden. These photos were taken between 4:30 and 5:00 pm, when most solar panels have already quit for the day. I was so pleased to see it still working even in evening light (for those wondering, we used a piece of tubing to connect the solar pump to the bamboo fountain fixture).

Well it was great until it wasn’t. It stopped working completely and now it’s dead and past the return window. I’d give it zero stars if I could. This was much smaller than I expected it to be but it works great! I did not spend the extra money to get the one with a battery backup and wish I had as it only runs when the solar panel is in full sun. But that was me being cheap! I need more plants but this little pump is perfect for the container pond - makes a nice splashy sound which is an I wanted. There are several spray options to choose from.

Product arrived with damaged solar panel surface. Not clear if defects contribute to weak operation.

Have used one of these for a bird fountain, basically a birdbath with a falling trickle of water, for two seasons now, and the little pump has performed beautifully well, especially considering the circumstances. We have very hard water, the algae builds up constantly, and somebody even made deep gouges in the solar panel with a weed whacker, but it still pumps well whenever there is sunshine on the panel. Granted the pump and other parts of the fountain require maintenance. When the algae is bad during warm sunny weather, once a week or so I clean the bath and brush down the pump outside and in the filter area with an old toothbrush, and rinse out the internal filter and the outer filter bag. The outer filter bag can get badly clogged with the algae so I bought some little organza bags and use them to replace the outer filter occasionally. The birds love the fountain, and we love watching them; the enjoyment is well worth a little pump maintenance, and the price is right for how long and well the pump works.

I didn’t have this item for over two weeks and it stop working. I notice the day I got it of course I had to readjust to solar pump to the sun, however it kept stopping like it was a shortage in the plug for the pump. I started plugging it up to actually power outlet to get the real power energy it work for a few days now it stop completely it’s dead.

Purchased June 2019. Died June 2021. Solar panel failure. It had become too sun damaged.

I purchased this item after one I had bought from a different seller quit working. It's in a large concrete bowl that gets sun part of the day, and is used by birds of all sizes from hummingbirds to ravens. It keeps the water moving even in partial shade (it does need full sun to run continuously). It helps to filter the water, and the birds love it. It was easy to assemble and has a longish cord, which helps for placement of the panel.

I built a fountain around this pump, and it worked great for the first 2 months. Then the plastic cover on the solar panel began to delaminate (see picture). I'm honestly not sure if this was just a protective cover or not, but soon thereafter, the pump itself quit completely. It wasn't an expensive pump, but I would have at least expected it to last for a single summer. I now have to get another pump and completely dismantle my fountain to replace it. Disappointed.

Great little pump for my needs. Great price. I only wanted solar as I don’t need it to run when dark.

Works well.

not a strong pump but will pump around 50cm

I purchased this for my balcony pond-in-a-pot and it works very well. Like other reviews have said, it runs only in full sun, otherwise when it is shaded or cloudy it 'pulses' small amounts of water, which is fine for me as I'm using it to break surface tension. I found it handy that the solar panel comes with two mounting options - it can either screw onto a surface for sun or be staked in the ground. The different head attachments to reduce the flow of water is useful as well as I need to reduce spray as my pot circumference is quite small; when the pump head is out of the water it goes up quite high and has a nice decorative arch.
