 Product may be OK but avoid vendor importer520 August 18, 2010
Decolliber (USA)
I ordered this item because of the backup battery. When it arrived, it looked OK, but obviously the usual low quality Chinese product, so don't expect a long life span. I have not been able to put it into operation because the solar panel was shattered. I emailed the vendor, importer520, who demanded a digital photo of the damage, which I sent immediately. Since then, importer520 will not respond to multiple requests for replacement or refund, so I have had to start an Amazon complaint. If you buy this item, be careful about which Amazon external vendor you select.

I have had this pump running for almost a month now. I found a clay pot on sale and cobbled together a really nice fountain with rocks in the top and a built-in reservoir. At night, the LEDs light the spray up and it's just really nice.
I had to open up the spray head holes a little so they wouldn't spray out of the top of the pot and would make a little more water noise. I needed to let more volume flow so the pressure would be lower and not spray the water too far. I also didn't use the solar panel included in the kit. Instead I substituted a HQRP 12W (Size of 10 Watt / 10W) Mono-crystalline Solar Panel 12 Watt 12 Volt in Anodized Aluminum Frame and have had no underpowered issues at all.
In fact, during the day the battery gets enough charge for the fountain to run all night long - with the light. I have yet to have the fountain stop so it can recharge. 24/7 fountain. Nice.
The instructions aren't the best but this thing is so simple that you don't need them. It's obvious how it all fits together. About the only caution I would give is I can see how someone jamming the segments together might overstress and crack them. Just be gentle.
For those that go with the timed selection, that is really ingenious how they set that up. It is just on a 24 hour timer and whenever you turn it on, it will run for the time you specify and just start back up the same time the next day. I don't use that but do appreciate the utility.
All in all this is a great pump kit. I decided to swap for a different solar panel from the get go due to the comments about it being underpowered. I'm glad I did. Like I said, it runs 24 hours a day now with nothing but solar power. All I do is enjoy it. So do the birds. They have spotted the fountain and now come to play in it.
Using this pump kit and the other solar panel, I built a fountain that would have cost much more had I bought it already built. It's gotten comments and is just really nice and a nice addition to my back yard.

Except for not being able to restrict the flow lower and having sent an email to vendor with no response this is a cool product.
Perfect item for a small water feature July 4, 2010

I love this thing. I have only had it for 2 weeks, so if it breaks before the end of summer I will update review, but so far, so good. My water feature is only small (less than 12 inch depth), but this works perfectly. I particularly love the water flow control and the timer settings. I hadn't noticed an LED pond light was part of the package and it was a lovely surprise. It makes the feature so pretty at night. My only issue is that if I want to have the feature going during the day, the battery won't charge enough to run it for very long in the evening. I would actually love to buy another solar panel so that I can hook the fountain up directly to it during the day, and let the other panel charge the battery so I could swap to that as a power source in the evening. Although really it's only a problem on the weekend when i'm home more and want to run it all the time. I highly recommend this product. perfect solution for a water feature placed no-where near a power outlet.
