Solar Fountain Water Pump for Bird Bath, New Upgraded Mini Solar Powered Fountain Pump 1.5W Free Standing Solar Panel Kit Water Fountain for Garden, Pond, Pool, and Outdoor

Love it. It does not work unless sunlight is hitting it. In overcast skies it sprays a shorter spray, but I am fine with that. It works exactly as I expected.

Nice addition to my Bird feeder.

Easy to assemble. Had to trim off an inch on each of the "legs" in order to fit the bird bath. There is no noise. It began working immediately after being exposed to sunlight. After it doesn't seem to keep it's solar charge once it gets cloudy or someone stands near it and a shadow is cast over it. I've only had it 3 days so maybe it takes longer to get fully charged. I notice that when the wind blows, water that is spurting up from the fountain it blown out of the bird bath. You may need to check water levels frequently on windy days.

Worked great until a slight breeze came in . I’d literally have to keep filling my birdbath up every 30 minutes to even keep this thing running on a day that has any breeze . Not worth it unfortunately!

So pretty, when it works. Started out good but after one summer no longer works. Ordered another to see if this one was just defective.

I live in the Coachella Valley. Summers here are brutal with temps from 110+ on average. The picture window where the fountain sits in front of gets the full brunt of the sun for most of the day here. But this little fountain has survived one hellish summer so far and then some! (If my fountain could talk! 🤔😆) It is still running much to the delight of my kitty who loves to study it while she's waiting for a lizard, bunny or a bird to pop by. I placed my fountain outside in a somewhat shallow plastic recepticle that I got at the 99¢ store. Nothing fancy. So here are some longevity tips that work for me and will probably work for you.Keep plenty of pure water in your recepticle. Be sure to keep an eye on it during the day to make sure the water stays at an optimum level. Water levels go down because of evaporation and water being splashed either by the action of the fountain or wildlife playing in it. I just keep a hose or water container close by to quickly refill it. Clean the motor periodically depending on use. Keep your recepticle clean. Can't stress that enough. That means scrub it clean bcuz of slime/dirt buildup. If you've placed the fountain in a birdbath, you also need to scrub out the dirt and slime impurities often. Don't neglect this important step because it totally helps with the overall function of your solar fountain. Also clean your device. I can't stress that enough either. I take a power nozzle and spray the entire underside of it and gently swipe off any slime or dirt with your fingers to get around and under the tubes and motor housing on the underside.. And Yes!! You can power nozzle the motor. It blows out dirt and slime!! I do it all the time. I also do a periodic vinegar cleanse to it. Fill your recepticle with water. Stir in approx 1/4 cup per gallon of water. Use basic plain vinegar (acv, white. Do NOT use any other kind of vinegar) put your cleaned fountain in the water and let it run in the sunshine for 2 days. Maybe longer if you get less full sunshine. After 2+ days, dump the vinegar water, rinse device and power wash the underside again as little round gel like formations may have grown underneath, then add clean water again, add the device and set it in the sun again. It will be like new. The vinegar clears out scum and calcium buildup inside the device which causes a flow reduction or just stops working altogether. I do this once/mo usually or when I see my fountain struggling to work.There are no switches or controls. The solar motor is all it needs. And with some love and attention it will live a long time. I love my fountain. But I bought it for my indoor kitty and I think think she loves it more than me 😂

This is probably one of the most “well worth money spent” items I’ve bought on Amazon. Had mine for over a year for my pond and it’s still works fine. I think I paid around $15. More than the listing as I’m write this onApril 2025. Just do regular maintenance (especially if it’s for ponds). Clean out the sponge filter and pump and it will last a long time. Sometimes calcium can accumulate on the top- just clean it off. Might’ve used vinegar.

Great addition to small garden! My cat going to be crazy with this fountain lol.I had cut 4 wings(?) to adjust it fit in my korean ramen pot as water fountain pot. 😋 It's working with sola natural energy, so it need to be stay under the sunlight all time. Highly recommend! spending small but huge difference for good!
