12W 160GPH Solar Water Fountain Pump - Black Pump

Works great as long as there is sunlight. Any shadow or clouds shuts the pump off. Would love to find a battery for cloudy days and night running.

Not complicated to assemble but needs a lot of strong light to work effectively. I wish it had a battery option or plug in option too.

Solar panel is quite large. Made one of those do it yourself fountains with some pots laying around. Did a trial run on driveway in overcast weather. Took it apart and moved it to permanent location and seems to work pretty well during the day so far. Hose is long and can be cut to size. My fountain is not sitting straight do to ground but waterfall is on side I can see.

This is the 2nd POPOSOAP solar water pump I've put in my garden. The first one I put in last year, and it's still working great! It's so simple to set up and use, especially since I've come up with what I think has to be the easiest DIY garden fountain. Get yourself some planter inserts. I intentionally didn't fill in all the gaps so you can see the orange insert. They're perfect because there is a hole directly in the center. The insert sits high enough to allow plenty of room for the water pump underneath. Add rocks to the top and voila! I might add dirt to the larger pot and plant some flowers. I've also discovered that the bubble spout is the most attractive to the birds and will only spill over the edge in a strong wind. Every garden should have a water feature and POPOSOAP is easy, affordable, and just lovely.

At first when I took it out of the box it wouldn't run when I hooked it up even in full sun. I almost sent it back until I checked the voltage of the panel and saw that was good. So I immersed the pump in this bucket of water and it started right up. Take it out and it immediately stops running. So it has built in run-dry protection which is nice. If you put it up off the bottom of your pond you can avoid accidentally draining it completely.Even on a heavily overcast day this thing is pumping water and in full sun it's a great fountain. It is easy to change the foam filter and it came with two extras. They are simple to rinse out and you could make some out of any open cell foam if you needed to.The suction cup feet are very aggressive and hold tight. They are easy to lose when you pull the housing off to change the filter so be careful.In all this is a nice little fountain kit.

Long lasting and has lots of power! the solar charger works consistently throughout the day. It took a little bit to put it together and get it organized and it did take one entire day to charge. but now it works really great

Would like to have some kind of solar power storage but works great under full sun.

This is a great solar water pump. The panel is large and powerful making for a strong spray. The kit comes with many options of sprayer heads for different designs and aesthetics. There is even an option to use the pump to create custom fountain features.

The assembly and instructions were confusing. The company labeled parts in the manual but not the physical parts. This made the whole thing annoying to put together. Once assembled the pump works instantly when exposed to the sun. However, it does seem to have to be positioned exactly “right” in order to function.

After about a week the pump stopped working unexpectedly and the company was super quick to respond and correct the issue by sending me a new pump. Excellent customer

I've been wanting to build a solar hot water heater to increase the temperature in my pool, and this unit is the first step to that. The small pump has 4 little suction cups on the bottom, so it is able to attach the second step in the pool and stay put. Connecting up the power cord to the solar panel and the tubing to the output, and I was able to get a solid flow of water from the pump. The docs say that the pump can handle a 5' lift, but I was able to get a lift of over 6 feet when used in full sun.

The next step will be to build the heat collection unit -- a foamboard box with tubing inside a glass cover that captures the heat of the sun and transfers it to the water flowing through it, then drop it back into the pool. Free pool heat all season long!

I did not test the spray heads, but will keep them in reserve for the late summer when I need to cool the pool water by spraying it up into the air and letting evaporation carry away some of the heat.

If you dont constantly move the solar panel if barely pumps water.
