Product Description

Use our little kit to create your own solar fountain, or to replace the failed pump on existing fountains. Our kit includes an unbreakable PV panel that measures 4 7⁄10" x 4 2⁄5" with a locking weatherproof electrical connector, 15 feet of flexible submersible cable, and a submersible DC pump that measures 21/2" L x 11/2"W x 2"H with a 5⁄16" tubing fitting and rubber suction-cup feet for quiet, stable operation. Under full sun it delivers 3/4 gpm at zero lift, or a trickle at 24 inches of lift. The pump can be easily disassembled to clean the impeller. Motor brushes are not accessible or replaceable (expect about a two-year life). China.

The product is of a poor quality and the instructions on its assembly was not clear. Plus since the instructions were not clear I think that some of the product assembly parts were missing form the shipment.

This pump is exactly what I was looking for. I bought a stand alone fountain that uses an AC powered pump and wanted to get a solar powered pump so I could place the fountain in the backyard away from the house. I replaced the AC pump with this one and it works perfectly.

UPDATE:
This pump has been running strong without incident for 6 months now. I would highly recommend it for this type of application. It may not work well in a bird bath fountain.

I also bought the solar water pump. I was putting together a memorial and worked hard to have it right. I put the fountain together, turned it on. Yippee it worked - boo hiss it only worked for two days. I thought about purchasing new batteries and pump but I am going to purchase a completely different system from a more reliable manufacturer. Thanks for reading
