Solar Fountain with Panel Water Pump for Bird Bath Solar Panel Kit Outdoor Fountain for Outdoor Small Pond, Patio Garden and Fish Tank

solar fountains work great arrived in good shape and fast

I like the power but for my bird baths, I have two bird baths like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D36P14FR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which are both fairly big, and the fountain using the included jet attachments is to powerful even for my large bath. The splashing water loses too much and it would not last a day saw I took my drill and drilled through the holes to make them bigger, had to keep trying till I was surprised at how large I had to drill them as this thing is that powerful. There are alternative, the power diminishes significantly if you cover any of the solar cell so I could have just put some water proof tape on the cell to reduce the height of the jets but I like fine tuning the output pressure to my own baths. Anyway, I've had one for over a year but I broke the connector the other day and bought a third just after I set up the second bath. I keep a sponge close by and wipe it down every few days or sooner if needed, the pump needs wiped down also, to keep the bath free of algae, dirt and debris and you should not use anything but water to clean it. Birds are old dinosaurs and are sensitive to chemicals. A bird bath is a lot easier to keep clean, fresh water everyday and regular cleaning will keep healthy birds coming back. Very beneficial and less messy than feeding birds, which may not be a good idea anyways, but fresh water is always needed and welcome.

I brought two of these 3 years ago at a good 50% off price. The pumps are so noisy, but one of them still works and the other one needs a knock to work when the sun comes up. Both of them having rotor worn off a lot now, and I recharged the rotator with a strong magnet. I also put nail polish on the solar panels as the plastic cover layer was peeling off, but I was still amazed the solar panel still works.

Excelente producto. Mejor de lo que esperaba.

I was really excited to get this.I built a water fountain for visiting hummingbirds. I have the solar panel placed where it gets unobstructed sun all day long. No shade.I bought this one because it had the most ratings of four and a half stars by over 3,000 reviews. Normally I read them so that I can get a perspective of the worst and the best and then make up my own mind. But I didn't do that as thoroughly as I normally do for such a small purchase. I just went by the amount of ratings that were provided.When I first set this up it was working consistently. The pump seemed powerful and was making the water shoot up almost too high, so I opted to use the bigger sprinkler head to try to limit the height of the showers.The water was shooting up about 6-8 in" with consistent pressure and water.The pump was submerged in about 2 gallons of water. Inside the 2 gallon bucket is a2 liter bottle and inside that bottle is where the pump was situated.This fountain is very well constructed. I used a vinyl hose the same diameter as the pump and sprinkler head.When the morning came, I looked out at the bird bath again and it was cycling between a very low drizzle for about 5 seconds then a short burst of water into the expected operating sprinkler shower, then back to a drizzle for about about 5 seconds again.I checked the water level and it was still full and the pump was still completely submerged. There is an upper tray with small holes in it that caught a couple of pedals from some flowers but nothing made it into the bucket where the pump was situated (Plus the pump sits inside a separate container with holes in it and is very protected against any debris.)Just to be thorough, I unplugged the pump, and changed all the water. Set it back up again and plugged the pump into the solar panel. The pump is still failing to maintain a constant pressure and the drizzling persisted. If you put your finger over the sprinkler head for a second it creates a back pressure that allows the pump to operate as expected. This tells me that the pump is not providing enough push (while the solar panel is in direct sunlight) to allow it to operate as expected.The pump has failed.How can I give this no stars?

The first one I received lasted 3 summersThe last one received lasted 3 weeks

The media could not be loaded. They say only 1 video per review, 1.5W Power Jet, here is a video review for this purchase.

The media could not be loaded. This little solar pump was just the ticket for a DIY solar birdbath and wildlife fountain that I designed.Get a plastic 'barrel' planter for the reservoir ... drill a large enough hole in the side, near the top, to feed the tiny pump through. Position the pump in the bottom of the 'barrel' with the power cord going out through a drilled hole in the side of the barrel - near the top - to the solar panel (which I clipped to an ornamental wire flower). Then take a large planter tray, drill a hole in the center for a length of clear plastic tubing to come up through ... this is your fountain. The tray simply fits over the top of the 'barrel'. Add some small rocks, gravel and twigs for birds to land on.Now, to maintain a constant water level in the tray, use the small funnel that came with the pump as a 'return'. The water comes up through the tube, fills the tray, and depending on how high/low you position the return funnel, the water will stay at that level. Filling the reservoir every few days is easy ... just use your garden hose to fill the top tray, with the water draining through the funnel to the reservoir. When the reservoir is full, it will start to come out that side hole where the power cord feeds out.Anyway, it works great.
