AISITIN 3.5W Solar Fountain Pump for Water Feature Outdoor DIY Solar Bird Bath Fountain with Multiple Nozzles, Solar Powered Water Fountain for Garden, Ponds, Fish Tank and Aquarium

I love this little fountain. I have a kiddie pool in my backyard for my dog that the bugs like to land in so I got this little fountain to keep the water flowing to help keep the bugs out away from it and it worked. It looks pretty and it sounds cool nice and calming. There were not a lot of detailed instructions so it was sort of try it and find out. what I found is that I needed to put something under the pump so that it's really only a couple inches under the water or almost on the surface of the water in order for the fountain to work properly. Even in strong winds it was still working properly and the flow of water shooting up out of it was great.

I bought this in June of 2024 since then I have only had one problem with it. That was my fault as I didn’t treat the water. It plugged up with algae. It was has never been removed and has been in the water since (except for cleaning) all winter frozen over. Today I went out and took a look at it. The weather is raining and gray. Yet the little pump is still working and trying to pump water. Not a lot just a dribble but it is still trying to pump water. This I never expected to happen and fully expected to replace it with a new one. But why waste the money when this still working. I cannot recommend this product enough.

I purchased this to go with a bird bath/water stand. It works well and shoots out water and doesn't seem to scare the birds at all. I particularly like the spinning attachment, but that seems to intermittently work. I haven't done it yet, but I think that if I glue a penny at the center of the spinner it should fix the issue.This is completely solar powered without any battery backup, so it turns off when you walk by or a bird perches with the sun behind it. Although a small battery to keep it going would be nice, it was also fun to watch the bird duck for a drink and have it start spraying, then stand up and stop the spray. I think I was more amused than the bird was confused.

They left out a very important detail from the instructions. There are two large foam circles, one on top and one on the bottom. The one on the top is obviously to protect the solar panel and also to protect the little stem that sticks out the top; you have to take that circle off in order for everything to work. The foam circle on the bottom seemed to be to protect the pump and stuff on the bottom, so we took it off also. Then we attached a spray head and set the whole thing down in the water. And it sank like a rock! Turns out the foam circle on the bottom makes the whole thing float! So there are two foam circles, one on top and one on the bottom, one you have to take off and one you have to leave on, and, as far as I can see, the instructions don't mention either one of them.Anyway, as far as how it works, it's great! We've only used one spray head because it's the only one we're interested in, because it's perfect for our tiny pre-formed pond. In the morning the pond is in dappled shade and the fountain works fine; in the afternoon it's in full sun and the fountain works even better; the more light that hits the solar panel, the more water it sprays, but it definitely does NOT have to be in full sun. When a cloud covers the sun and the whole yard is in shade, it still works a little bit, in spurts.We just got it so I have no idea how long it will last or anything else, but for now it works great. (As long as it has the foam circle on the bottom!)

This thing works really well! The strength of the water flow does correspond pretty directly to the strength of the sunlight hitting it, so just keep in mind that shade will result in a more irregular kind of burbly fountain, which is also really charming. The interchangeable spout nozzles are fun to play with as well. We have this set up on a hanging ceramic bird bath, it looks lovely and the birds are into it. Would buy again.

Love this fountain. I was having a problem with my old fountain which would always float to one side or the other and all of the water would spill out. This sits in the center of my birdbath and the water does not spill out.

I love the idea of the arms coming out and especially the extensions from the arms, as seen in the video, becauseIhavea large birdbath. Problem with mine was one of the extensions was missing from an arm so now it doesn't stay centered. It didn't fall out of the box or anything, it just wasn't there. This wasn't exactly the cheapest one so I'm really disappointed.

This solar pump is super simple to operate - literally just pull out the stablizer arms/legs, turn the switch and plop in the water. Suction cups on bottom also help it stay in place. It started right up when the sun was out and from my perspective had plenty of "umph" for a decent sized spray. Nice array of a lot of different spray options. I just randomly pulled several nozzles out and tried a few as it was not intuitive to me what each nozzle would do.After a few months the operation became spotty and I would sometimes have to pick up and move the pump around to get it working - this could possibly be from say some dirt or debris getting lodged somewhere, or perhaps from the pump running dry when the water level was low and not replenished for a day, I'm not sure. The sputtering may be from operator negligence - I did not baby the pump (for example, I did not manually turn off the switch at night or when I'd be gone for a more than a day and aside from fishing out the occasional leave I did not really do any serious cleaning of my bird bath. I turned it off for the winter and we'll see what happens when I start it up again in the spring - overall, it seemed a decent value and decent product and I would likely buy again.
