35W Solar Fountain Pump for Pond & Garden Fountains (Orange)

I bought this system along with the backup battery to run my outdoor cascading fountain pond. I have fish and living plants in this feature and it was costing me $60/ month in power to use a traditional electric pump.I switched to this solar pump system. Installation was simple and cables were sufficient in length to install the solar panel on the patio roof keeping it out of sight. The pump will run continuously all day and night, from 7am morning until about 3am with the added solar chargable battery back up. Best of all, no mosquito larva! The flow is strong and adjustable. I suggest placing the pump into a prefilter mesh "cage" to keep the impeller from fouling too frequently with plant debris. I suggest monthly cleaning of the pump if used for this application. I pull the pump and run it inside a bucket of clean 50/50 water and vinegar to cut the slime coat and hard water build up, rinsing it clean with fresh water. I simply squeeze the sponge in clean non chlorinated water and rinse completely. Its super ez!The pump developed some issues recently and the seller promptly sent a replacement to me when I reached out for support. Will buy Popsoap's products again for future water features. My plants and fish are thriving and I'm very happy with this purchase as it has paid for itself in power savings!

I love this little pump, works great

This fit my application perfectly. I have a plastic lily pond that tends to stagnate. This keeps the water moving & adds a nice fountain feature

Amazing

I’m really happy with this solar fountain! I tested it in a 20-gallon bucket and was amazed — the water shoots up as high as I am (about 5',5'')which I didn’t expect from a solar-powered unit. I ended up using it for drip irrigation on my 4×8 ft garlic bed. I connected it to 5 drip lines (1/4 inch tubing) with 12 holes each, and it works beautifully. It takes around 2 hours to water the whole bed on a sunny day(approximately 20 gal). Very efficient and no electricity needed — highly recommend!:)

This pump is a little Pricey, BUT totally worth it, will last for years, we have a large fountain and it works Fab

So far so good !!… it’s smaller than I thought it would be, but it works great!!… the filter does a good job!… we had to put a brick on top of it to hold it in position … other than that it works great and looks beautiful!!… the pump is powerful for its size…. and very easy to assemble.

It's only been three days, and it seems to be working fine. Very simple. Just take it out of the box, attach, whatever type of spout you want to use, then put it in the water. Unfold the solar panel and sit it on the ground or wherever, and plug the pump cable into the solar panel. That's about it. Worked perfectly as soon as I plugged it in. I have read some complaints here, so I'm hoping I don't have any trouble with it. That being said, I really do love it! Now I go in the yard just to putter around my little pond. Plus I love the trickling water sounds. :)

The fountain works as advertised, is great for a small water source. We wanted it to attract birds to our new flower garden and it worked perfectly for us.

The pump works well pulling water up 6.5 feet even on a partly cloudy day.

Easy set up and works great

Works very well!

Easy assembly. Works great. No complaints. Have had it running for 1.5 weeks. My husband screwed it to the roof area for maximum sun exposure. It runs 10 am - 5+ pm. Still works on a partly cloudy day. Turns off if low water volume.

We use this pump on a multi-tiered fountain. There is no power source near the fountain, so we went solar. This pump provides more than enough power to run our fountain, which is about 5-feet tall, and creates a lovely display. It works even when there are some clouds around. It took a long time to find a solar pump with enough oomph to run this fountain, but this one is doing the job. It is a bit pricey, however, but if it proves to be durable, it will have been worth it. We had noted some negative reviews about this product but tried it anyway. There are just not that many solar options out there with this much wattage. So far, we are not disappointed.

This unit isn't going to pump a ton of water for you but it was a nice easy addition to my pond. It was easier than expected to put together and works as described. It's relatively small. Needs occasional cleaning but that is very easy to do. Comes apart easily and has an extra filter so just swap it out and clean the old one until the next swap.

I needed a pump to move water up a pipe for a planned backyard waterfall feature. The details on the listing seem to contradict a lot of what is in the instruction sheet that came with the pump however. Case in point, the listing says this pump features "anti-dry safety protection" that is supposed to be some sort of an upgrade in the pump design to protect the motor if it were to run dry. The instructions explicitly state to never run the pump unless it is submerged or risk damage to the motor. The power block and DC connector are both not waterproof and should be protected from the elements. This shouldn't be a problem given the extremely generous length of cord from the pump to the DC connector. The lift height on this compact pump does not seem like it can ever reach the maximum 13ft, you'll be lucky to get half of that. The unique filter mesh is just a removable plastic cage that will block large leaves and such, but will not prevent finer debris from being sucked in. My pump is actually missing the silicone suction cup feet altogether.All that said though, it probably shouldn't be an issue moving water through a PVC pipe and I think it will work for my needs. On its own it is a fine pump, but it just doesn't live up to the listing details.

System setup is really easy, and it just runs. Set it and forget it. 35W Solar Panels make a significant difference powering the system.

I never write reviews, but this solar powered pump transformed our little woodland pond from ordinary to extraordinary ! Easy set up ... within minutes the fish were swimming under the flow , birds were flying to the water and it is simply outstanding. Now that being said , as soon as a small cloud blocked the sun it cut off , and on a overcast day, it will not work ... I simply purchased a compatable battery pack ,( 12 volt ) placed it under the solar panel for protection against the weather , and now it stays on all the time ! We love it ! The solar panel really does need direct bright light , If need be, you can purchase an extention wire to get it in its desierable location for continuios flow. Buy the highest wattage, ours is 35 ....

Had some questions about mounting the foldable solar panels, so I called the 800 number. Initially the csr couldn't answers my technical questions, but she put me in contact with the appropriate department who answered with several helpful emails.
The pump itself is excellent. Obviously it depends on the application, but my advice is to buy the largest wattage you can afford.
