I wanted a small fountain to aerate a small water feature.
I have never used a solar fountain before but was pleasantly surprised by this product. Ok, when the Sun is obscured by clouds it does reduce its spray , , ( fitting a rechargeable battery would solve that ).
A fun purchase.
Always buy these pumps can never complain…. only one this is when the solar system as enough power I personally thing it should run for as long as possible. But brilliant for having a small wildlife pont for frogs..not so great for fish…. tried to upload pic but said not correct forma
Like I said, the best thing I purchased in 2022. Works in surprisingly little sunlight. Every now and then the motor gets a little clogged up from plant debris but a quick run under the tap and the thing works. The wires are out an exposed. Still works. Absolutely amazing. The only sad thing a pigeon stole part F.. still works but part F makes it work much better.
his little package powered up before l got out of the door, works with the slightest break in the sky, creates a strong flow in the pond, lv bought this for the other pond.
Using as a pump for a small waterfall, but is equally as good as a fountain. The cable is adequate, but where have sited the solar panel could do with an extra 2 metres length to get full sun for most of the day. Unable to source an extension cable ye
I bought this to replace the mains pump included with a wall-mounted lion’s head fountain, as I didn’t want a long run of mains cable along my wall and prefer low-voltage solutions outdoors where possible anyway. It’s perfect for small projects like this.
I had to splice in extra cable (basic ‘bell wire’ intended for low-voltage applications) to mount the solar panel on a roof away from some big shade trees, which involved removing the water- resistant screw connectors and soldering in my own. Once set up it works great in either sunny or ‘bright hazy’ conditions, providing a steady, constant stream of water via an approx 18″ flexible tube from the fountain’s sump to its outflow.
Just be aware that the lack of an integrated battery or charging circuit means that it won’t pump water on dull days. Its not like a solar calculator that can make use of whatever light is available.
I did have it running off a 9v battery for testing so it may be possible to connect it to some sort of rechargeable cell for use when the sun isn’t shining, though im not sure the little panel included outputs enough to charge a battery and run the pump simultaneously. I’m quite happy with the solar panel as I only sit out on nice days anyway!
Although there’s not a lot of power in this, it’s still going strong after being outside all winter. Very good value!
Easy to assemble perfect size for a small water feature ideal for what I needed it fo
Have had a lot of fun with this over the past few days. It’s really good for the money, small, but very easy to set up. We have consistently had half a meter’s spout while the sun’s been out full. Inevitably at dawn and dusk it veers towards intermittent squirts more reminiscent of a geyser.
just wish suction cups were a bit stronger/better hold – however weighted down lead next to the fountain with a couple of large stone and all in good working order – so happy custome
My water fountain is working again now. I thought I would need to throw it away but then I found the exact pump I needed
Easy to put together but did stick it to rock to keep it off the bottom of my tiny pond
I had a previous model of this that stopped working after about a year. I bought this one as a replacement and it worked, and still works perfectly. When I removed the old pump I gave it a good shake and poked the pump vanes with a sharp pencil and it has been working ever since. (The polite one is Murphy’s law). I now have two pumps working in my pond.
This is a great little pump for small water features with enough flow to create a good fountain! As long as the sun is shining.
Very easy to set up. We have it in a self contained fountain about .5m from pump to top and gives about a 20cm spray at top
Thought I would have to throw away my old water feature but this little might did the trick.
Easy to assemble and works very well when the sun is out. Could do with a bracket for the solar panel.
Easy to
Install. Very reliable. Work all time when sun is out . Powerful water flow . Definitely buy agai
I wanted a small pump to power a water feature in a galvanised water tank and this pump is ideal. It is small enough to be inconspicuous but big enough to create a bubble effect or a fountain. It is excellent that it’s solar powered, so no trailing cables or plugs to manage. A very good product at a good price
Like the result from a small pump and a suprisingly small solar panel. We checked it out in the kitchen on a cloudy day which was good result.
Works well, although not had much sun lately. When it is sunny it is fine.
Works best out of the water and in direct sunlight, any amount of cloud means it slows down.
Great to have on while enjoying the sun in the garde
Got this after the gardener cut through the original cable, pump unit and panel are much smaller than what was originally in the water feature, but actually seem to have a much better through pu
It works really well only issue I had was keeping it upright so I glued it to a flat pebble with silicone now it’s fine.
Just wanted a cheap pump to try a few ideas out on water features I have made. It does the job well when in good sunlight, but stops when a cloud passes over.
Now have 3 of these. Used in the garden 1 in barrel fountain, 1 in small pond & 1 as spare. Great value easy to set up & not affected by debris in pond.
Purchased this for a small water feature in an old stainless steel kitchrn sink. Connected 9mm id plastic tube pucsh fit onto the supplied plastic pump discharge nipple a fitted the 12mm od inside the half inch copper pipe on inlet to the kitchen tap sealed with some mastic. Works a treat when the sun shines.
Bit weedy – but to be expected for the price
Looked great when brought didn’t set it up untill few days ago worked for 1 day and now don’t work at all cant send it back as 30 days have passed ..so in the end a waste of money because I didn’t use it in the first 30 days I had it so not very happy have learnt a valuable lesso
This little pump is great for its size. I couldn’t believe how high the stream of water was when the sun came out. I have actually now connected it to a small ornament that I already had and it’s working well.
Powerful pump gives a good fountain, all you need to due is select which fitting is best for water height point the solar panel in the right direction sit back and enjoy!
Well what can I say….. I am more than pleased with this solar pump that was bought to replace the original electric one because we no longer could access main electric. I wondered if it would be powerful enough to operate the feature in its original way but it’s more than powerful enough for the job. Yes it requires full sunlight , but enough was mentioned about this in the descriptions of the item but even on less than bright days it gives a steady trickle to fill the bucket eventually to tip. I’m sure the item could also be used to create an individual water feature anywhere where good sunlight is available to the panel. I did also tape a small garden peg to the back of the panel to secure in the ground but it works quite well propped up in the empty heavy plant pot.
Arrived a day earlier than estimated. Does ‘what it says on the box’
Absolutely brilliant little fountain, works even when there is no sun by doing regular spurts of water. In full sun as see in my pic it reaches easily 30cm! Best situated with the top just above the water line
Purchased July 2020. So lovely!! It’s -9degrees C in aberdeen today and it’s still beautiful.

It comes in a tiny box but is actually a lot better than you initially think. We put it in our pond with the spout just under the surface and it works brilliantly in the sunlight. It amuses us when there is partial cloud as it quite often spurts so we cheer it when it comes on fully and this is actually better as you notice it more rather than it blending into the background. Occasionally you need to clear the suction of algae but that is very easy.
System works however you may want to use a different power source as the solar panel is quite weak.
Used to make a pumpkin gush fake blood.
Swapped out the solar panel for a 9V battery as the panel was only able to convert enough energy for a weak stream
A bit smaller than expected & needs full sunshine to work properly but still good for a first fountain pump
Made a small water feature, shame it only works in the sun, as the panel dosnt charge
Im making a nature pond from an old bath sunk in the garden & these water fountains are really good thank you! Im actually really impressed. A third of the price garden centres expect you to pay for one this size yet yours look & work great thanks. And they were delivered the next day even though i chose free postage. And really simple to put together. I highly recommend your Company & the fab little fountains
base is very light weight and needed to be weighted down in the pond, but the actual fountain is very good.
The pump was very small which was perfect for what I wanted. It pumps away merrily as soon as the sun hits the equally small solar panel. The panel has nothing to fasten it up with ( I used a plastic tie). Quite long cables were very practical.
There doesn’t have to be a lot of sun for the fountain to function. There is no way of controlling the height of spray and on windy days the spray goes over the side. I could disconnect the panel, but I just try to keep an eye on it and retop up.
It is lovely sitting in the garden on a warm day and hearing the refreshing sound of water
Update 30th June, 2021. I stored my pump during winter and it worked fine when I put it back in the bowl. Unfortunately, bits from nearby hedge kept getting into the bowl and despite clearing them out the pump stopped working. I rinsed it but this time nothing happened. I was disappointed and looked through at other pumps, all looking similar but more expensive than this one. One showed instructions on taking apart. Well, it wasn’t working so I couldn’t break it. Sure enough, it came apart. I cleared a few small bits out but was unconvinced I had solved the problem. I put it back together and tested it. It worked! I’m delighted to have the sound of water back in my garden.
This is a really lovely product. Small and neat but with different water spouts which give different heights and power of waterfall.
I had a tiny pond i wasn’t sure what to do with.
So put a rock on top of empty planter submerged, this on top, placed an old grill above that and rocks on the grill. Brilliant!
Instant rock fountain! Definitely recommend for a sunny locatio
With the optional fountain heads this is a not great
However, without the optional heads this pump is great for oxygenation of pond water – see the photo
Recommended without the fountain heads
Works as advertised, good in full sunshine and stops as soon as the sun goes in. Very quick delivery
I purchased this product to use in a homemade water feature in my garden. The product is better than expected and good value for money. Easy to set up and powers up quickly. Perfect for the item I wanted it for .
solar pump arrived very quickly and tho not much sunshine to test it with seemed to work ok. time will tell when the sunshine comes back!
Does exactly as advertised – the stronger the sun the better the pump operates. Connected my pump to the hose of a water feature so didn’t need suction power.
This is a basic, low cost item that is fine for my intended use. The water flow is not very powerful, but if you’re looking for a small, no frills solar water pump this does the job.
We bought the solar fountain because we built a small swimming pool for the children.
The parcel arrived soon. Everything was ready. On the way to the garden, the water pump suddenly started to run. There was enough electricity and there was almost no sun. Put it in the water, it will bubble in the sun. Our little swimming pool is OK.
I have been absolutely blown away by Purchase as it will also attempt to produce on a cloudy day.
When exposed to sun Fountain will reach up to 1 Metre…..
The selling point for me is the fact that you are allowed to assemble Solar Panel a healthy distance away from the Pump at most Adventageous point of exposure to Sun….
Highly recommended!!!!
Nice little fountain needs fairly strong sun to work well. I use it more like a bubble fountain with none of the attachments. The fountain is quite high and was emptying the pond in the wind as we only have a small wildlife pond.
Easy to use and assemble. Perhaps would need bigger if order another. Solar plate has not got any way of connection to a post, perhaps a stand would help?
Nice little product that works well. An on/off switch would be useful and the suction pads are useless really when you consider the pump is only about 5 or 6 cm in size and the spout is equally short. When it shines it is very nice to hear and see and works well.
Arrived on time. Well packaged. Easy assembly. Great power. As with all these pond pumps the spray pattern is far to high and wide for the use I put them to. I use them in bird baths to for sound and vision effects. I find that by sealing all the outer ring of holes and opening the centre to 6mm I get a jet about 150 to 200mm high. Careful placement ensures that the water falls back into the bath. I use a small clear plastic box just big enough to fit the pump in. Drill a series of holes in all 4 faces 24 in all near base to allow water in to feed pump but keep muck away from pump intake. Weigh down with a pebble. Works well for me.
Con: no means to mount nor to help with positioning the solar plate – DIY task
Our pond is 4ft in diameter and this is perfect. We had to stand it on the pond shelf on a jam jar to get the pump below the water but the fountain head just above as there is only about 3 inches between the two. Very pleased with it and only took 2 days to arrive.
Great little pump, just right for the small nature pond I made in my garden. The delivery took over a month to come and eventually arrived two days after the ETA, just as I had given up hope of ever seeing it. Very happy now as a frog moved into the pond this week, so he was obviously impressed too.
At first was surprised how small pump is, but does it’s job. Unfortunately only works in full sun so if cloudy will not work. You get what you pay for but I’m impressed
For a cheap and cheerful little fountain it’s great. I have a pond container and it was quite difficult to securely attach to anything but once I’d finally attached it it does work quite well. It spurts rather than being a constant flow even in bright sunshine but it does the job. For the price you can’t expect much more.
A lot smaller than I thought it would be. It would be better to have a battery back up and an off switch but for the money it’s great.
Not very good un the wind so have had to hold down with rocks in one of the plant pots. Very satisfied overall though with the fountain, it reaches around 30cm in heigh
Bought this item to replace broken pump for small fountain, won’t be installing till late spring so can’t comment on performance. Is generally as described and easy to assemble, decided not to give five stars mainly due to the lack of supporting holes or lugs or any means of fixing the solar panel to a bracket or spike
I have just build a small wildlife pond and just needed something to keep the water moving and this is perfect the only thing is it’s very small
it ok don’t seem to have the power on it like some of pictures have shown on the website though it placed in sunny positio
For such a tiny package I was very impressed! It is very easy to install and use but please ensure you have read the instructions and understand that there is no power storage with this fountain and as is clearly stated in all the literature this only works in direct sunlight. If you are aware of this I don’t think you will be disappointed. The kit comes with 4 different sprinkler heads for different water flows and heights which I love as I can change it every few days as and when I like. Also make sure you don’t put the solar panel in the water! Everything is explained in the manual so happy days . This pump is ideal for a small pond or a small garden decoration. I also like the sellers 100 percent satisfied guarantee where if you are not satisfied with their products or the quality of their products they are more than happy to provide satisfactory solutions with you. I would highly recommend this product.
When the sun’s out, it’s surprisingly effective.
When the clouds come, it’ll pulse very weakly – but that’s hardly a surprise!
Used for my garden feature works great one small problem no stake or way of fixing in the garden would have been 5 stars
No plug and socket in the lead wire from solar panel to pump. Too early to say regarding durability.
I’ve only had the product a few days and it is winter. It seems to me that the solar panel must be in direct sunlight for it to work. The pump must be fully submerged under water, but it can’t be placed too deep into the water otherwise all you get is a little ripple rather than a fountain effect. I’ve placed mine on a brick to elevate the pump. It would be better if the product had an on/off switch.
The last time I drained it took 6 hours of back breaking bucket work. This time I got clever and bought this little beauty.
1/10th the price of a sump pump that would have left 10cm of water in the pool, I simply attached a hose to the pump, dropped the pump into the pool, turned it on, and went to watch tv. Drained the pool in under 5 hours, and only left about 2 cm of water in the pool. Plucky little thing. And the attached led light amused my wife no end, very pretty.
Very impressed with this. Bought it for draining the pool, but will now build a little pond and fountain to put this in.
works well in direct sunlight for a small solar panel but needs to be out completely out of shade and fully facing the sun. Perhaps we should have paid a bit more and bought one with a battery back up, but still works fine under the above conditions

UPDATE–After 11 months the pump has expired, disappointing as it was a great little pump when running.
