This is the 3rd of these pumps that I’ve bought. (I’ve got a few little water features). They work well whilst it’s sunny or slightly overcast, so in Britain they don’t get a lot of use. I only use them in little water features that only rely on trickling water. If you want something with a bit more power, then you’re going to need to spend the extra.
Bought as a a way to help oxygenate my pond and was working really well for two weeks, it spits periodically when not in full sun which is fine and then produces a good size fountain in full sun. It did this for two weeks and then on a hot sunny afternoon it went into constant periodic spit mode unfortunately. Could have been me damaging solar panel somehow…..not disheartened and am ordering another one. I still think worth the money for what I intend it to do.
If you want a constant flow, this isn’t the product for you. I am very happy even with little sun the water is getting movement to stop stagnation, and in full sun it looks and sounds so relaxing. Going to take a little time to find the best place for the solar panel but that’s part of the fun of gardening
Super surprised how tiny this pump was when opening the box.
The panel has to be leaned to get sun but so far it’s working although more of a pulsing action due to not much sun on first day.
Created a water feature using an old fire pit and some collected cobbles. Looks ok just need the sun to come out now to make it a bit more constant.
Edit. When the sun is out, it’s great. Sometimes we have to cover the fountain with a small glass bowl if it’s windy to prevent water escaping from the pit.
Really happy with it though.
EDIT. We are now in mid July and it’s totally stopped working. Cleaned regularly but now doesn’t work at all. Gutted especially with the nice weather now.
Works well in a sunny part of the garden.
The only thing that lets it down is it comes with less than one meter of clear piping so purchased 5m of piping separately
Works well in sun. Getting little blobs of when cloudy or when the sun passes but this to be expected as it is a little pump and the solar panel is quite small
I set it up and it came straight on with a super jet. My only minor gripe is that the solar panel does not have a stand or spike so I propped against a flower pot. This was super value, and worth every penny. I’m very pleased with it.
For the price I was impressed. I don’t the fountain attachment but pumped water up a small waterfall and it was ample for the height (about 40cm).
Can’t fault it after 2 months.
Had this indoor fountain with an electric lead pump. Pump packed up years ago now with this solar one new lease of life. Has run dry twice animals use it overnight but still works dry without burning out love i
A small but good pump for a shady area, depending on sunlight. On a good sunny day the jet can reach 60 – 70 cm height. Monitoring water level is essential
This was purchased to replace an old electrically powered pump. I wanted to re-site my water feature, but there was no nearby power so thought I would give this a try.
When sunny enough, it works well for a very small pump.
Things to consider.
It only work when it’s really sunny, any cloud and it stops working.
You need to find some way of mounting the solar panel. There are no fixings. I mounted mine to a 1/2 plastic pipe, using wide gorilla tape.
Depending on the panel location, you may need to be able to move it to “track” the sun during the day. As I’ve said the panel only just produces enough power to make it work, so needs all the right conditions.
I’m really pleased with mine, just take into account where it’s going, and the sunshine it needs to work.
Dislike it doesn’t keep a bit of charge when sun goes down as would be night in the summer evening to hear & see it while having evening meal in garden ONLY WORKS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT ! as soon as sun or you walk infront of solar it cuts ou
Originally I thought there was a piece missing (a ‘platform’ which seemed to be on the list of items included) but it wasn’t actually needed anyway. It took minutes to position in the pond and as the sun was out it started immediately. Good amount of spray.
Got the item today and quickly installed it in my DIY water feature. It works beautifully as long as it’s sunny, but will stumble with the lightest shade of cloud.
However this is mentioned in the product description and given if it’s my first solar water pump experiment I’m fully happy with it.
Works straight out of the box. This is perfect to make a small container water feature. Works even with cloud cover and is quite powerful in full sun. I am amazed at how many birds are attracted to it.
Solar panel much bigger than expected. Great height of water spray but it does use a lot of water, maybe i will try a different head that’d not so high.
I bought this for the water dish in my tortoise enclosure. it was very easy to set up and install. It works well and produces a very high jet on sunny days.
The only issue is there is. no pole or attatchment for the solar panel so it’s really tricky to position as it keeps falling off. I will need to fashion an attachment and glue it on. If it came with a way to position the solar panel and attach it to things that would have been perfect.
The only problem with this product is that the fountain attachments are too strong for small shallow water features otherwise a great product as it is easy to install and has good suction in full sun however still works when cloudy
It is great for my water feature and works really well I love i
This is really easy to install and the suction cups stick really well to the bottom of the bird bath. I will even work if it’s cloudy but not as strong, works best in direct sunlight, am very happy with i
On a grey overcast day the fountain spray was often over a foot high which meant water went everywhere and my small bird bath emptied very quickly. The solution was to use no nozzle and a small 2-3 inch jet creates a lovely trickle effect.
Only other comment was that I had to clean out the filter within a month to remove leaves.
Working well now for over 15 days since installing in a big egg type of water feature. Water jet goes really high in direct sunlight and still working in hazy sunshine. I previously bought a cheap unbranded 5w version from eBay which didn’t have enough power to reach the top of my feature. Buy cheap and pay twice as the saying goes.
I used this small pump tp replace a much more powerful one that had come to the end of its life. It performs very well in a garden cascade, pumping the water up to the top – about 18″ – when the sun shines. I will certainly buy another when necessary.
There were some negative reviews but got one anyway. Easily as good as the old one I had. Really good in direct sunlight which is what solar panels is for. Glad I bought it, looks lovely in my water feature and love the sound of running water when sat in the sun.
The AISITIN 9w solar fountain pump is a great device for adding some ambient noise to your garden and also encouraging the local birds to drop by. The pump is very simple and easy to setup and even on a cloudy day it seems to get enough power to keep it running. The pump has four different nozzles included that you can change to preference and a water pipe that you can cut to preferred size. It’s great for ponds, bird baths or any water feature.
Price is very affordable and overall a good quality item for the price.
Bought this to bring to life an old water feature. It seems to work well and for what I paid, can’t really complain. Force of water output varies dependent on how much sun the solar panel receives. However, considering the size of the pump it is quite impressive. Only negative, works well in full sun but doesn’t work in shade/night time but that is stated in the description. Would be great if it had solar battery back up. Overall value for money and does what is says. Delivered quicker than expected and works extremely well on a sunny day.
I bought this solar water fountain to place in my swimming pool. Sime setup can be used indoors if needed. The height of this water fountain is high with 100 cm height. For better results, cleaning very often is good and easy too. There are different nozzles which can be changed to get a different pattern of the water fountain. Best solar water fountain at such an affordable price.
Much more powerful than I thought it was going to be . Great value for money . Only works when the sun is out but that’s the only time I am out so perfect.
This is a great solar pump.do not be deceived by the small size of pump as it packs a punch when sun is on the solar panel.it is strong enough to pump the water through my 2 tier water barrels.
Quality is not great, I have had similar with better quality. However that one stopped working after 3-4 weeks.
If it continues to work then it’s worth the money.
I’d been looking at one the same as this at double the price of this and decided to save the extra cash for another set of solar lights and get this one so gkad I did the diffrent heads are good the power when in full sun is shocking for such a small pump needs at least a meter square slash back or you’ll lose all the water lol wires a nice length. Only problem I have with it is there’s nothing on the panel that you can hang it or no stake for the ground but I’m sure a couple zip ties will sort that out very happy
Bought it to put in a small wildlife, I would say pond, but it is more of a large bowl just to stop the water stagnating. But I am very pleased with the little pump. When the sun is shining it sends up a lovely fountain of water. Quite surprising for its size. It only works when the sun is shining, if it’s a little cloudy it pulses, and not when its cloudy it will not work at all. But as others have said, I don’t really sit in the garden when its cloudy. I am planning to get another for nearer the house and set it up as bubbling pebble water feature.
A replacement for one I purchased years before. Previous sun panel had Faded so wasn’t as strong. I use it on a wild pond. Just to keep the water moving gradually
So small and easy to use. Such a good choice of fountain styles to chose
As it’s solar powered it’s working relies on light so if you want a constant flow this isn’t a good choice for you
I have mine in a little free standing pond and can adjust the height of the fountain just by moving the solar panel away from the sun
I would buy it agai
This is a very small pump, but it was exactly what I needed. The solar panel doesn’t have any fixtures or fittings for mounting but I didn’t find this any problem.
It works very efficiently even in moderate sunshine.
Really didn’t expect it to work that well but for this price it was worth a go. This fountain used to be electric powered and was my mum’s so it had great sentimental value. Hooked up the solar pump to the tube and within minutes it was working and the sun wasn’t even that strong. Really chuffed
Bought to replace a much larger model which packed up, got this size specifically for the small water feature & it’s the perfect strength. Runs well in full sunlight, to a lesser degree in over cast conditions and cuts in & out with dark clouds – but are you going to be outside enjoying it on a rubbish day? Probably not. Photo was taken on a sunny/cloudy intervals day.
Fun little fountain for kids, pets and wild life. Watch out in full sun as you my find your fountain empties reservoir! Selection of nozzles giving good variety of water jets. Just so cute and fun. Not a nocturnal feature lol
Bought as a replacement. It works well even when not in full sun. In full sun it goes like the clappers. Bear in mind these aren’t built to last but they’re not heavy on the pen so when this one packs in I will get a new one.

Easy to install works in dull conditions . Used as a waterfall without attachments , the attachments are excellent for fountain .

Adapted product to work on a water feature, does a great job

Happy with purchase solar panel working well so far as long as it’s in sunny conditions, so I’ve noticed

I only needed it for a small water feature, it was just right, . It came well packaged and came within the time frame
Everything we have bought from amazon has always been good for us. Delivery quick and efficient.
A small but good pump for a shady area, depending on sunlight. On a good sunny day the jet can reach 60 – 70 cm height. Monitoring water level is essential
solar panel not very big for absorbing sunlight. but when does very affective
Brought for my dog in their paddling pool to add a bit of fun and they love it!

Great feature at night with the lights, good value for the price paid.
Very easy to install and service. Does need direct sunlight though
Having an external solar panel meant you move it around to chase the sun… Your not doing it every 5min though
Nice cheap and cheerful feature I cannot fault i

It doesn’t have any fixings on the panel but it does mean you can position the panel to maximise the sun’s position.
Only wanted a little pump and this is perfect for the job
Happy with my purchase, using it in my garden bath.
good little pump easy to set up. needed it for a small pond works well.
Works really well when the sun comes out 8ft of cable

3RD ONE IVE BOUGHT NOW
IDEAL FOR SMALL WILDLIFE POND OR WATER FEATURE IN TUB IN GARDEN
DEAD EASY TO INSTALL ETC.

Replacing old pump in waterfall, this fits well and works. For the price excellent value, fingers crossed it lasts.
Utterly amazing performance for such a little pump!! Happily keeps my water feature ticking over when the sun shines!
It works very efficiently even in moderate sunshine.
In good sun the fountain goes a good 3/4 metre. Can’t fault it really. Can jam with algae, but that’s inevitable and is easily cleaned.
Some it only works when sun is out and doesn’t store any powe
Using as water feature in Belfast sink.
Looking great and working well.
Not as big as the solar panel it was replacing, but worked perfectly.
Smaller than I thought but works great in my bird bath.
Package Content:
1x Solar water fountain
Lots of attachments
Assembly is very simple, cannot be more simpler than this.
Simply pointing to the direction of the sun kicks in the fountain to work. Exactly what is says on the tin.
NOTE: there is no built in battery, if there is no sun it will not work.
Works well in sunshine as you would expect, impressive for the price. Don’t let the size put you off.
Much better than the floating dish one I have in there before, but I don’t know if it will stand the test of time.
Surprisingly very powerful
