The kit includes the solar electric water pump, two 50W (26 x 21 inches) solar panel, a stand, and 16 feet of 1-inch hose. Our solar powered pump has a max head of 10 feet, which is how high the water can be pumped above the surface of the pond. The pump has 16 feet of wire between it and the panels. This can be expanded by our extenders to allow you to place the panel in the best position for the sun.

As long as the sun is shining this pump works great. We wanted to filter the water in our goldfish pond but it is not near a source of electricity. Hooked this up to a waterfall filter and it dosas a great job. Had to add a check valve so the waterfall basin would stay full when the pump is not running. So far so good!

If your wanting to DIY waterfall, after ordering numerous solar water pumps, this is the one that does the job! I wasted so much money trying to get the right pump. The flow is tremendous and gives me the sound of a real waterfall. I do have to move the solar panels to stay in sunlight a couple of times a day, due to a small yard. But that’s ok. Easy to do with this water pump.

Really like this pump which I have running in our pond. I have a small electric 110 pump that runs 24/7 as well as this solar pump to supplement when the sun is shining. Both pumps run thru a biological filter which keeps my pond super clear. My only problem is having enough sun to run the pump for any real length of time. I will weld a rack to be able to hold it up higher off the ground which will probably increase its exposure to the sun to maybe three or four hours a day.

Day of arrival and I am very impressed. Easy to set up. The solar panels will be mounted on a roof so ordered the extension cable and the company sent an adaptor ‘just in case’ it was needed. On the test run and the pump is producing more GPH than the one that is plugged into household power, and this is on a hazy day. Had I known I might have ordered the smaller, 25 w system, but I’m happy to have the extra umph of the 50 w which will allow variable pump placement as needed.

The pump itself works great for my little duck pond. It pushes the water up about 5 feet vertically without a problem. Getting it to do that, however, requires direct sunlight. The slightest layer of cloud cover turns the motor off, so…room for improvement there. Also, the stand for the panel falls apart very easily once you pick it up to move the panel someplace else, minor detail. I may try to find another similar solar panel and splice them together for more power. Otherwise, the pump is great, and the hose is long enough that I didn’t have to add to it.

This works well when sun is out on both panels but literally if you walk past a panel it turns off. I ended up concealing the wires with plants and running the panels up on the roof where chance of sun is best. It comes on at about 8 and turns off about 530 now that it’s summer. You have no control over this pump. It does whatever whenever based on very strict sun requirements. If this had a battery to store 4+ hrs of run time and a light to add some bling to the fountain it would be 5 plus stars at $350 easy.

First off the set up was easy, easy, easy. I have a neuromuscular disease and I was able to do it by myself (my brain does not always think clearly and my muscles are not strong). I will try to explain as clearly as I can what/how I used this product: I have an irrigation canal on my property and I needed to pump water from the canal to my garden and to my pond. My pond is large and the summer sun causes evaporation plus I lose some water via seepage into ground. My garden needs drip/soaker water. This pump sits in my canal and is able to pump water 200 feet up a gradual incline of 5 feet. (so in other words, from were the pump sits, to where the water eventually comes out 200 feet later, there is an incline of 5 feet. This is NOT a straight up vertical 5 feet. it is a gradual. The first 3-4 feet are steep due the banks/sides of the canal, then the remaining 1-2 feet of incline is very gradual. I have attached photos of the set up. I used a 3/4″ poly black irrigation tube/pipe for my 200 feet of run. I bought couplings/adapters to fit the flexihose from the product box to connect to my 3/4″ poly tubing. The first water outpour photo (where it looks like I’m watering a weed!!) is at 100 feet of run. The last 3 water outpour photos are at the very end of the 200 feet of run. I measured the volume at 2.5 gallons per minute (so 150 gallons an hour). I did the test at 2pm in the afternoon on May 6th with full sun, no clouds in the sky. Hope this helps someone! My next task is to get up shade boards near the solar panels– this will limit the amount of time during a day that the sun hits the panels to activate the pump. I only need the pump to run 1-2 hours a day. So I plan to shade the solar panels on the sides so that they only get direct sun for a few hours a day.

This pump is high powered and the two solar panels are effective at pushing water quickly. A nice feature is the easy setup. Also their customer service is terrific.
