Description
- SOLAR BIRDBATH FOUNTAIN KIT: The fountain pump is solar powered, can be used almost anywhere at home (backyard, garden, patio, pool ,etc), as long as there is enough sun. The most important this will attract many birds to your garden, providing them with a cold drink or a quick soak.
- LONGEVITY WATER PUMP: We investigated more than 300 pump failures and found two causes,the pump run without water and the pump blade is blocked. So we upgraded the pump, our pumps are now all dry-run protected. This means as soon as the water level gets too low they will automatically shut off. And filters have been added to all pumps to ensure that dirty waste does not enter the pumps with the water.
- ECO-FRIENDLY AND RELIABLE SOLAR PANEL KIT: Our solar powered fountain adopts 100% glass solar panels with stronger light transmittance. The solar panel will not oxidize even if used outdoors for a long time, It can steadily absorb the sun’s energy and make the water spray more stable and lasting.
- EASY TO ASSEMBLE: It doesn’t need batteries or electricity and is completely controlled by solar energy.You can assemble it in minutes to add some water projects to your yard and garden.
- MONEY BACK GUARANTEE AND WARRANTY: We provide 60-days money back and 1-year warranty, if there is any problem with the item, please feel free to contact us.

I read all the reviews before I purchased this, and in spite of the complaints about random shadows ceasing the fountain activity, I bought it anyway. The reviews are true and correct, any slight interference with the sun (passing clouds, overcast skies, my own shadow, etc.) does cause the pump to halt immediately. This solar panel does not store the suns power – not even a smidge – so if that’s what you need, this is not the product for you. However, for my purposes, this is perfect. My goal was to create a hummingbird fountain and provide a daily water source for my hummers and butterflies. I don’t need the pump to run at night, that would just cause faster evaporation. Even when the pump is not running, there is still a water source for my friends, as I have it set up to keep a small bowl full. When the sun shines again, the pump resumes it’s purpose of recycling the water and keeps it moving. I can’t really speak to longevity yet because I’ve only had this for about a week now and so far it has not disappointed. If it does, I’ll come back and update.
The pump arrived on time and was neatly packaged. All the parts were there and in perfect condition. Comes with a little instruction manual too and was very easy to assemble. I included a measuring tape with my pictures to show the panel size, it is pretty small, but it does the job as intended. I do wish the cord was longer because I would love to have mounted the panel on my roof – once the sun sets past my awning my little fountain is done for the day. The clear hose has a curve to it from being in the package which resulted in the fountain not shooting straight up, it wants to maintain the curve resulting in a lop-sided spray. To resolve this, I found a small piece of red PVC laying around and ran the clear hose up through it to keep it pointed straight up – worked perfect.
I saw a review or two that said the tips don’t fit the hose but after a bit of persuasive wiggling the tip went on and worked as advertised. In fact the tips worked so well that they sprayed higher than I needed for this project so I did a bit of modifying to my hose and PVC contraption until I got the spray height I wanted. Again, keep in mind that the height of the spray is directly related to the strength of the sun. Strong sun = strong spray. And I can switch the tips whenever I want. Btw, there is no ON-OFF switch on this, but not to worry, once the water at the bottom of the planter (or pond or whatever you use) gets too low, the pump automatically shuts off so that it doesn’t burn itself out. I like that a lot.
So, I guess it’s all about what you will be using it for. I am super happy with mine and plan to create another fountain for my rock garden. I will be buying again.

My pump stopped working. I wrote the company told them what was going on. Iris wrote me back very timely and gave me instructions how to clean and it still didn’t work. She kept in touch and I’m being sent a replacement pump. The company stands behind their products. Would highly recommend them!
TS –
Great product, very easy to install and could substitute an electric pump on my fountain and just use solar power that I have a lot in TX.

Product works great on my birdbath. Also, excellent customer service. They promptly and professionally took care of an issue that arouse with the pump.
Definitely recommend.

The first pump did not work, but I was sent a replacement immediately. It works perfectly well. I’m enjoying the sound of running water in my fountain and the birds in my yard are loving it!
SK –
Woah! This little solar fountain worked so well I had to limit the amount of sun falling on the solar panel so that it didn’t spill out of the birdbath. I kept it scrupulously clean all summer and never ran it dry; and it worked perfectly the whole season. I’ll be impressed if it makes it through another summer – for less than $20, what a great buy!

Shown as larger rectangular solar panel was just a small square panel. Not very powerful
Very disappointed in so much false descriptions.
