Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received this as a gift for my new pond and, having quite a bit of difficulty with it, I began looking at reviews on various sites to determine whether I just got a dud and should exchange it (which I had hoped...it is a gift) or if they are all duds and I needed to just give up and return it.
Based upon every place I found this sold that had reviews such as Sam's Wholesale, 2 pond stores, Overstock, and Amazon, everyone is having the same issues as me so this goes back in the box. First of all, the fountain spray is nothing close to the picture. It's a small trickle when it is working. Although my pond is in full Texas sun, it goes on and off and when it's off it looks like something fell in the pond, not a lilly pad or a fountain. I am guessing either the solar panel isn't strong enough or that the water falling on top of it creates the effect of a solar panel on a rainy day...not all that strong or not working at all. Honestly, I don't know why it has such issues.
The good news is that it is nice to have in your pond if you don't have established plants yet since frogs find your pond and it allows them a cool place to hang out.
The bad news is that this, on the product page, says it will clear up dirty water. Nope...the aeration is nice for fish, but you'll need a filter attached to your pump to clean up dirty water.
Bottom line: I'd love to find a solar fountain that works well as I only want a fountain during the day and one that doesn't need to be plugged in is perfect...but this rarely works and doesn't offer even the small spray seen in the ad photo...so this would not be the one. It goes back.
