AISITIN 2.5W DIY Solar Fountain Pump with 6 Nozzles & 4ft Flexible Hose

I've only had this for a few days but have enjoyed it very much! It hasn't attracted the birds and especially hummingbirds like I hoped it would. I put it in a pedestal bird bath which isn't exceptionally deep so when the attachment that creates a taller stream is used the water sprays out and the water level drops quickly and has to be refilled. We have many trees so the direct sunlight doesn't last all day and the fountain shuts down. I was inspired by a lady on YouTube named Robbie from California who shares many ideas for the use of these fountains, She had hundreds of hummingbirds! So jealous!

I bought this to create a wall fountain out of an antique lavage, that was Made in Italy , in the 1950s. It worked exactly as I hoped, as far as installation went - but before 10am when the sun is low , or as soon as a cloud passes & when dusk hits , it goes off. I wasn’t aware it had no solar power storage. I would prefer it runs 24/7 , as I use it to drown out the sounds of meth heads fighting in the streets outside my compound.

UPDATE: After more than a year, pump is still working great. As long as you clean gunk out of the pump every so often, it will last a while. Honestly, I've only cleaned it three times so far. As soon as I put this out in the sun it started working. I am using it as a hummingbird fountain and it's perfect for that. I rigged up the fountain according to a youtube video I saw. Very easy assembly, the tubing that comes with it fits perfectly to the base of the pump. If you wanted to purchase additional tubing, the opening is right at 5/16". As you can see and hear in the video, it has a very strong flow coming up through the nozzle, I have the pump sitting at the bottom of an old planter and the water is pumping up through about 8" of tubing and is doing a pretty good job pushing water up and out at that distance. For a small pump, it is surprisingly powerful. I've had it for 2 months and I haven't had to clean the filter yet, but not much can get through the small holes I've made in the top cover, it keeps leaves and other debris from clogging filter. Two months later, it's still working very well. I also observed the fountain working in complete cloud coverage on a few occasions. It wasn't coming out as high as it was in the video, but it was a steady flow, to be honest, it is not the norm, most overcast days it does not work. The still photo was taken in the rain and you can see how well it was pumping out. The video was taken on a sunny day, but in a partly shaded area. It doesn't work at all at night, but it's not expected to, it has no battery back up. I would definitely purchase another one.

UPDATE: After just 5 days, this unit stopped working altogether. It was sunny and my other floating solar fountain next to it was working fine. RETURNED. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Just completed installing a very small pond in my butterfly garden and wanted a solar fountain to keep the water circulating. I have a floating fountain in my birdbath, but wanted something a bit more powerful, so ordered this fountain with higher wattage (2.5 W). First, it arrived with some kind of essential oil (?) spilled onto the box, reeking of a smell similar to camphor! I cannot say this is the fault of the seller, as it may have happened in transit. Took through cleaning and airing out for a few days for the fountain to even be usable. Since I have no fish yet, I felt o.k. with using it and not returning for a refund. Next, the fountain toppers that control the type of spray were not good; perhaps the holes too small? They clog within a day. So I just removed and let the water bubble up from the stem. The amount of water flow was no better than my cheaper floating fountain, so that too was disappointing. The solar panel worked fine as long as it was perfectly clean; once any dirt or debris gets on it, it produces very little, if any, power. But the most aggravating thing is the little motor that needed to be submerged for the fountain to work. There are suction cups on the bottom that do NOT work underwater at all. I tried to adhere to a brick and even then, the pump would eventually sink to the bottom of the pond. I am trying to figure out how to secure it. Overall, if I knew all this, I would not buy this item again. Since it did function, I gave it 2 stars, but the floating type works better overall.

This works well, but only if it is in full sun! I mean really mean FULL sun! One shadow can stop it from working completely.

I have water 3 water fountains in my back patio space for birds and other critters to come and get refreshed!! I had one that was 1.5 amp solar water pump that was doing the job just. Back story, I am using 5 gal plastic buckets with lid that has a few very small holes spaced across the top, using 5/16th plastic tubing from the pump to the top of lid with a little extra. That said it worked , had a smaller solar panel, but not like I wanted. So I saw this 2.5 Amp solar pump, saw it, bought it, installed it, loved it and bought another, moving. So when I finish moving I’ll fix it up and put it out for the birds and critters. Oh, I placed it in a 15”ish plant saucer,push bucket to side and Mr Robin came in and took a splash! So excited!!

Purchased this pump to make a DIY hummingbird fountain. Pump works instantly when sunlight hits the solar panel. However, it must be in full, direct sunlight. I tried to install it in sunlight that is filtering through a large Crepe Myrtle tree, it will not work. Just make sure there is absolutely nothing between the sun and the solar panel, and it's an awesome little pump. This is not a solar panel that charges up with sunlight. It will only work during direct sunlight hours, as there is no battery being charged by the sun. Great pump for daytime use. Suction cups on bottom to hold pump in place, and includes clear tubing to pump the water further away if you want to hide the pump, and not place nozzles directly on top of the pump.

Worked well for about 1 or 2 weeks. Now, it's hardly working at all. Very sensitive to sun... It's needs intense, direct sunlight to even make the water slightly bubble in the birdbath. In the part shade (at least 4 hrs of sun) area I have it in, it only runs about 30 min/day. Very ineffective! Would not buy again!

Works great

Petit matériel efficace, fait ce qu on lui demande

Funkar bra kräver fullt solljus för att den ska gå hela tiden

Funziona molto bene, l'importante è che arrivi il sole nel pannello solare, se già c'è una nuvola si spegne. Sono soddisfatta!

Estoy muy satisfecho con mi nueva bomba de fuente solar. Anteriormente, había probado una bomba flotante que, al moverse, siempre terminaba desplazada hacia un lado, causando que el agua saliera del borde. Sin embargo, esta bomba ofrece una solución diferente al tener la placa solar por separado, lo que permite anclarla al fondo de la fuente, evitando así cualquier movimiento no deseado. Me impresiona la variedad de opciones de flujo de agua que ofrece, aunque en mi caso, al tener una fuente muy pequeña, utilizo la configuración básica. El precio es justo considerando todas las características que ofrece. Sin embargo, es importante mencionar que la placa solar es grande y necesita una exposición directa al sol para un funcionamiento óptimo. He notado que en días nublados, la potencia de la bomba disminuye, lo que es comprensible pero algo a tener en cuenta al considerar su ubicación en el jardín. En resumen, esta bomba de fuente solar ha superado mis expectativas al solucionar los problemas que había experimentado previamente y ofrecer una amplia gama de opciones de flujo de agua a un precio razonable.
