Solar Fountain Pump for Birdbath, 1.8W Free Standing Solar Water Fountain, Solar Powered Water Pump Kit for Bird Bath,Small Pond,Garden and Lawn

Bought May 10th 2020 and this cheap thing STILL WORKS GREAT! It even outlasted a much nicer one I bought after this one, which contains an internal battery, which died and has a larger solar panel. The solar panel on this one, after almost 5 years in the Sun, looks beat up but, it still works perfectly. Even when not in full Sun, it tries to start up. I know some have issues with this model but, not me, this one is great. I see it went up four dollars since 2020 but, it is a fantastic product.

It does exactly what I need it to do. It serves as a small birdbath pump; doesn’t need to run at night; no batteries required; keeps the water moving during the day. Water movement is proportional to amount of sunlight on solar panel; the more sunlight on the panel, the more the water will pump. Simple. No sun - no water will pump. The accessories allow you to choose from a bubbler to a spray-type fountain. Options are cool. Bottom line; these don’t last forever but with regular maintenance, they can last a couple of years and if you already love your current solar birdbath/fountain but the pump has given up the ghost, this can be a viable option with a little imagination.

this product works fine but did not have as much power as we had hoped for

Worked great, but solar panel had to be facing sun at all times to work. Disappointed when sun rotates and pump stops working.

I have a balcony off a bedroom which I have always wanted a fountain on. I was AMAZED at how happy I was finding this solar water pump. It worked wonderfully for two months. When the sun would slightly his the solar screen you would start to hear a wonder trickle of water building up more pressure as the sun hit it. After two months it stopped and I can’t believe how much I miss the sound.

This is straight out of the box. I’ll update in a month or two. It’s wayyyyyy better than I expected. Tiny and mighty! Perfect for very shallow birdbaths or those with angled sides.

Stopped working after two months last time I did it did this I just took it apart and cleaned it out with the hose there was debris stuck in where the motor is I’ll try it again but I don’t think it’s gonna work this time I think it burnt the motor out

This fountain will last the summer. The birds love it. I enjoy the sound of water on my patio. I purchased a similar fountain for my daughter. She loves hers too. I constructed my fountain out of a container with a 19" inch diameter and with a dept of 7" inches. I attached the pump to an overturned cup, filled it with large, clean, rocks, then lined it with plants, and added water. My cost under $40.00. My enjoyment invaluable. I add some new water to my fountain once a day. I use the ripple attachment to keep the water moving. The birds like that attachment best. With the fountain depth, the water in the fountain remains cool and clean. With the exterior solar battery this fountain requires little maintenance.

Worked great, easy to install.

Easy to set up. Long skinny piece does not fit into pump, completely ignore it! Works with the attachments connected to the pump directly. Full sun gets a good foot of water height.

For the price it really works well. When the panel is in full sun it works great. Didn't use any suction cup, ours lays in the birdbath. Completely satisfied.👍

Solar panel worked fine, but pump stated to be able to lift 100cm, but my fountain is only 45cm high and couldn't even put out any water at this height.

I looked at a LOT of reviews before purchasing a trickler and I'm happy I settled on this one for my mini pond. Since the solar panel is out of the pond, you can position it so it best reaches the sun. I've had it for a whole summer running consistently, and can say that it's lasted well and is in great shape. It gets bunged up with algae pretty quickly, but if you run your hand over it once every week or so you're good. In full sun this can easily empty a pond in an hour if you have it pointing in the wrong direction, but it gives you a great steady trickle if you seat it deep enough. It doesn't work that well when it's cloudy or the panel is pointed away from the sun, but I don't really mind. I usually tilt it in a different direction once a day if I want to keep the trickle strong. If this is a pain for you, maybe consider something with a battery or corded power. I just like having the water move around for a while every day without worrying about batteries. ~ Update Dec 2025: Just wanted to note that as far as longevity goes, this pump is lasting! I didn't expect more than a summer's use, but I've taken it out of the pond for two winters and it keeps on going. Definitely recommend!
