Product worked well all through summer and winter then died just short of a year. This spring I removed the cover of the sponge filter and removed the white impeller with needle nose pliers. The magnetic shaft was coated in dirt. Cleaned right up and is working like new.

This fountain is tiny and does not shoot water the height it says. Very disappointed, have sent it back but it cost me nearly $40 to return. So annoyed.

Wont give you any pressure above 40cm and that’s on a Brite sunny day. Very disappointed.

It stopped working completely after 1 month use (I had it 3 months but didn’t set it up for two months.) Before that I was happy with the way it worked. The filter is clean and the solar panel has plenty of sun, but it’s dead. The company offered me a refund, which was very nice, but when I replied Yes to the refund offer, they changed and asked me to send them my address for a replacement item, which is better than nothing but I don’t want another one. I told Amazon the company had asked for my address, (which Amazon says not to enter in into the form) and offered me a refund and then the company had changed it to a replacement offer, and Amazon Chat agent said they’d contact the company for the refund that was offered. That was about a week ago and I haven’t heard anything.

NOTE THAT I REVISED THIS AFTER FIDDLING WITH IT FOR A FEW DAYS
=============================
Here are the pros:
The pump works right away!
The solar power section is extremely sensitive – even in shade (it’s evening here and the sun is no longer hitting the yard, yet the pump is working away albeit at reduced power).
The cons:
Where do I start?
The instructions are pictures of parts with weird names like W1 or S2a and TINY PICTURES showing how you might put the fountain part together.
The stake that the solar panels attaches to is *extremely* difficult to put together because the little plastic wedgie thing on the stake that slips into the slot on the solar panel *does not fit*. I tried for a half hour, with every conceivable orientation, to get it in. Finally I sprayed the wedgie thing with WD-40, and after a lot more wiggling, got it in.
The pump assembly is weird but it kinda snapped together after about ten tries to make it snug.
But here’s where I gave the device a single star – the tubing that comes with this device *does not fit the pump*. The hole to attach the tube is about 1/16″ too big. There is nothing in the two bags of parts that does anything to connect the tube. I resorted to using duct tape and it holds it in, but duct tape isn’t really waterproof and I would expect it’s going to degrade over time and loosen. I’m going to have to figure a way to connect it that’s semi permanent without just gluing it on.
I assembled it as a concept fountain to see what I need to get to put it together, and I’m glad I did that because I was way over-confident of the ease of assembly. After more than an hour working in the humid afternoon, I was ready to just send it all back.
Except that, when it’s connected, even with WD-40 and duct tape, it’s running very well, better than I expected.
I’m wondering if the pump assembly is just not the right size for the tubing and parts. I can’t just get a bigger tube because then all the fountain / spray attachments won’t fit.
I gave this ONE STAR for its terrible assembly instructions and actual assembly. The illustrations are nearly meaningless, and the fact that the tube *does not fit on the pump* makes this a THUMBS DOWN for me.
However, an extra star for the performance of the device – far better than I expected.
Therefore, I give this TWO STARS with this warning:
Do not purchase unless you are going to spend some time at the hardware store looking for parts that will fix the issues with the assembly. If you’re handy, then this is a good deal.
====== REVISED ========
I spent another few hours with it trying different assembly methods, and I got it to work. I abandoned the tubing entirely for now, and I’m just using the float.
With the float and the tiny tube going through the float, there is a constant stream of water. I was able to attach a few of the different spray options, and while some of the illustration in the TINY ILLUSTRATIONS don’t seem to work at all, what I did get to work worked well.
And with the battery back up this thing goes for a while after the sun sets, which is nice when relaxing on the patio.
FOUR STARS (barely) because it does work, but goodness the instructions are *TERRIBLE* and the assembly will take many hours of trial and error.

This product doesn’t work consistently with the tube attachment in a fountain. It might work okay if just floating in a bird bath, but it doesn’t consistently have enough power to move the water up the tube. Disappointed.

El producto llegó bien y a tiempo. Lo conectamos sin problema y funcionó bien un par de semanas. Luego, comenzó a fallar y a hacer cosas raras, como funcionar solo en la noche y dejar de funcionar por el día, pero de pronto dejó de funcionar. Esta nueva, con el agua de la fuente limpia y mucho sol (vivo en Yucatán), así que simplemente decepcionante. No puedo creer que hagan un producto tan caro para el ambiente y de tan mala calidad. Tengan cuidado, porque muchos comentarios son basados en la primera semana de uso. Yo me espere a hacer la reseña después de un tiempo, y realmente es otra basura de China.

It worked pretty well for about 6 months! The battery helped to keep the fountain going even an hour or two after the sun set, and it wouldn’t stop when the sun went behind a cloud like some other brands do. But after about 6-7 months it just stopped working and I can’t figure out what happened to it.
Amazon Customer –
The extra long cord from panel to pump is great. I made a ⛲ and can have the solar panel out of sight. The quality is excellent.

The media could not be loaded.
I was ready to return this when it completely stopped working a day or two after buying it. As it turns out, some critter chewed on the cable.
After fixing it, it’s been working really well. The battery last well into sunset on sunny summer days, and the water pressure is strong enough for my needs. Occasionally the pump filter will get clogged which would require cleaning, but that’s to be expected since I have the fountain under the trees.

I’ve owned at least 5 different solar pumps, this by far runs with very little sun compared to others on the market in this price range, large solar panel!. I loved it so much I just bought 2 one to circulate water in the front yard pond. Very happy. I run the tubing into the top of a bird bath and it over fills and trickles down into my pond.
