3.5W Solar Fountain Pump with 1500mAh Backup Battery | 1500mAh Backup Battery, 6 Nozzles & Adjustable Water Spray for Bird Bath, Pond & Garden, Auto Shut-Off

Much better than a smaller one I had bought previously. Workedsteaight out the box even though it was very overcast. I dont use the various heads as my bowl is too small, but this works fine for the birds.

I bought this solar water feature to replace a really old one that had stopped working. It is a lovely water feature and it works really well. The water goes pretty high (I used the head that has lots of holes in it). It comes with changeable fountain heads so that you can change the effect of the water (one long jet, a small fountain jet, a shower jet etc). I only have one gripe really (only a small one), when using the head with multiple holes in it, the water goes so high that it was continuously splashing out of the bowl and inadvertently watering the garden! I had to top up the container with water three times in one day! I think I will have to change the head to one that doesn't splash quite so much - well, I am on a water meter! I think if you have a wider bird bath or container, then this shouldn't be an issue (I may have to get myself a wider one). What I love about it, is that it has battery back up and so even if it is cloudy, it still works. It doesn't work at night because below a certain light level, it doesn't operate. The pump also has a really handy cut-out on it, so in the event your bird bath/container runs out of water, the pump automatically stops, hence protecting the motor. I'm very pleased with the solar fountain and I could definitely recommend it.

Bought a previous solar pump from Aisitin and was very satisfied with its performance as it has run every day, all year even in December so bought this solar floating fountain. Within an hour of putting it in the sun, it was working. Works when the sun goes in and has been running all day thanks to battery storage. Very simple to assemble with various different heads for different effects. Have used cotton to secure it to another fountain and a planted basket which means it stays in the same position. I didn’t want it spraying water on the water lilies as they don’t like it. Would highly recommend.

nice little fountain, I only want it to keep the birdbath clear of algae which seems to be a big problem, but as well as keeping the water moving it provides a nice tranquil sound of the water splashing in to the bowl. I cannot use most of the attachments as they work too well - the water fountains up and the wind catches it and blows it out of the bowl so it constantly needs topping up, however using a low nozzle and not overfilling the bowl keeps the water height down and keeps it functioning nicely. The only problem I have had is removing the protective cover to clean the filter, it was positioned in a way that made it difficult to access, however once I managed to remove the cover I was able to turn the unit so it is now easy to reach.

3W is hugely powerful. We have to leave the attachments off as would empty birdbath on a windy day. The missing star is for the lack of removable filter which our old one had. It does wash clean OK but harder to clean and get working again. Also - it feels wrong forcing water through pump to get debris out. May shorten life? I took the sponge from old one. Will prop it against inlet. You could use a kitchen sponge for similar. Anything porous removable and inorganic will do. Silly design really.

In previous years we've had various forms of solar powered fountain pump for our birdbath but they were a separate pump and a panel at the end of a cable. Both ended up with connecting cable being damaged. Also they weren't backed by a rechargeable battery so as soon as the sun went behind a cloud the pump stopped. This unit is much better. It's all in one piece so there's no messy cables. The battery that keeps it going is great. It's also far more powerful than those other options which can be a bit wishy washy. If anything it's perhaps too efficient because it can have a habit (in a small breeze) of pumping the water so high it gets blown sideways out of the birdbath. It would help if there'd been some kind of regulator /volume control to tone it down a bit. But the sound of trickling water in the garden is always very soothing. Now there is one issue with all these solar fountains when used in a birdbath and that is that pigeons, crows, starlings, blackbirds don't only use it as a bath. To put it politely, they use it as a lavatory too. For all these pumps, that basically have the same kind of grid where the water goes in, it only takes a week or two before it begins to block because it is sucking in the "solids" that the birds leave in the birdbath. So you will have to be ready to clean things fairly regularly. Perhaps an old, unused toothbrush or something like that? A perfect design for this kind of pump would actually see the whole mechanism enclosed in a gauze metal cage so nothing can get close to the pump inlet. Maybe some manufacturer will have that idea one day? Anyway this is best of several pumps we've tried over the years so I'd highly recommend it. (oh and the birdbath we have is that very same green one they show in the demo video - one might argue that the pump is just a fraction too powerful for that size of birdbath)

This is a small little fountain suitable for a tub pond. It suited my little pond and keeps the water flowing..

This is the second attempt at a solar fountain in a week. Initially i dismissed the idea and thought that I would fit a cable in the garden . On reflection I thought how quick and easy it would be to use this idea in a 1m x 0.6m x 0.3m deep. this is a tiny ornamental garden pond. In a south facing garden. The unit has some clever features if the pump is out of water it does not run using a conductive sensor on the bottom. This feature turned out to be an essential part to get it to work. I selected this unit as it had a higher charge capacity and 1500mAh battery built in. The unit we received was unable to charge whilst in the water. I decided to give it a fighting chance to charged up. I left it to charge for a day. I put the pump in a bowl of water and the unit across the top of the bowl( just to be safe ) in case the safe feature didn't work. ( the safety feature worked well) The unit did charge and it did work not as well as the specifications of the pictures but it was enough to create a little movement with a sprinkling fountain. The next day the pump did not work I repeated the process and it worked. The solar panel should be more than large enough to make this product work. I can only assume that this is poor manufacturing or it only works in the Kalahari Desert. I have returned the product as faulty if you buy the unit and experience the same problem don't hesitate send it back.

Muy buen producto y potente, yo lo instale para una fuente de exteriores de cantera y se ve muy bonito.

...like the sound of fountain water sprinkling back into a bird bath. I have never before found any of the numerous solar-powered gadgets worth having - until now. This little marvel performs very nicely; frankly we underutilize it. An array of fountain heads is provided, most of which are a little too vigorous for this particular bird bath. Initially, the screen on the pump became clogged, a condition easily remedied and not repeated once I gave the bowl a quick scrub. Overall, it feels study, with the pump and battery well-insulated and set firmly on the underside of the solar panel. I can confirm the feature that disengages the pump whenever the water level gets too low, which I'm sure saves it from dry-sucking and failing. I may re-visit this review at some point to speak to its longevity. Until then... (So far, one finch seen fluttering in the spray. Hoping the hummingbirds take notice. Dreading one of the fat pigeons discovering it!)

Bin sehr begeistert, sprudelt herrlich, auch wenn der Himmel bewölkt ist, einfach aus der Packung nehmen, gewünschte Düse draufgesteckt, ins Wasser und schon geht's los. Bin sehr begeistert. Allerdings - wenn das Wassergefäß recht groß ist, schwimmt der Solarbrunnen natürlich hin und her und sprudelt das Wasser teilweise aus dem Gefäß hinaus, mich stört das nicht und sollte das Wasser jemals weg sein, hört die Pumpe angeblich ohnehin zu pumpen auf. Hatte bisher nur Solarpumpen, bei denen das Solarpaneel mit Kabel verbunden war, dieses umständliche Kabelgefummel fällt hier weg. Alles in allem für mich sehr gut!

I have this installed in my birdbath in the backyard. I go through one per year as the wires will corrode after about a year of use. The neoprene ring around the bottom allows the pump to float which what I DON'T WANT, so a gently removed it from the pump. Then I secure the pump in the middle of the birdbath with a couple of small smooth river rocks. It's glued on so take your time peeling it off. It comes with a bunch of nozzles, but they just spray water all over the place. In an hour your birdbath will be empty. So, I used nozzles from a previous purchase, and those work fine. I have to clean out the actual pump screen at the end of the day because the bird turds, feathers, and grass plug it up. The 3.5 V battery is a big improvement over the previous models, however, it only stays on for about an hour after sunset in the summer. In the winter, due to the lack of direct sunlight, it will shut off shortly before sunset.

No puedo recomendarlo. Funcionó muy bonito por menos de un mes. Dinero tirado a la basura.
