Bird baths and ponds
These work great. I have bought several. Out in full sun, they last around a year. They come with different tops, so you can pick the amount of water and the way it comes out. Great for bird baths, etc. These are solar sun no sun no power easy to use

I like this Sunnytech Solar power Water pump kit
I like this Sunnytech Solar power Water pump kit. The Solar panel doesn't have the water landing on it, so it stays clean and efficient.The fountain was too tall and the wind kept blowing the spray out of my bird bath, so it was losing a lot of water and by putting a finer spray higher, more would evaporate, so I drilled the holes of one of the 3 tops with a 1/16" drill. which was easy and seems to be about perfect. The 8 fountain streams are a slight bit thicker and don't go as high, with the dual advantages that the returning streams don't get blown out of the bath and the sound is a little more pleasant and substantial.I tried a "Solar Power Bird Bath Fountain,SOONHUA Solar Panel Water Floating Fountain Pump Kit for Bird Bath,Fish Tank,Small Pond,Garden Decoration" which cost about 4 bucks more, but the little floating solar panel with a fountain in the middle blew to the edge of the bird bath so the returning fountain water often blew out of the bath, which would empty my bird bath in not much time. I returned it and willl buy two more of these.BTW, the solar panel for this is small, about 4" square and would be easy to mount, near the bird bath. I just put mine on the top of the fence which is behind the bird bath.When the sun comes out the fountain starts.When I put my shadow on it and when the sun gets blocked by any shadow or when the sun goes down, it sleeps.It's new for me, but my guess is that by oxygenating the water constantly, the bath won't get as funky. We'll see!In the 2nd pic, if you look carefully you'll see the small solar panel on top of the fence.

Suction essentially nonexistent
Works well but only when sun on solar panel because it doesn't have a battery backup. I knew that when I purchased so not really a concern. I would give it a 5 star rating except that the suction is essentially nonexistent. I had to anchor it with a heavy piece of flexible plastic and rocks on the sides. My old one was the same. It's good that the filter comes out so easy to clean.

Worked Okay (After Modifications) Until it Died After 3 Months
It shoots water straight in the air, so the water falls back on itself, and squirts far too high for my purpose. I widened the holes at an angle with a safety pin, so the streams spread out more evenly and not as high. As mentioned in other reviews, it only works in bright, direct sunlight. Any shadows, cloudiness or even heavy haze will make it sputter or stop. After my modification to the spray head I was fairly satisfied, though, until it stopped working completely after 3 months of light use, and without ever being run dry. I don't know if it's the pump or the solar panel. Since it's now beyond the return window, I'd call this a complete fail and would recommend avoiding this product.

Using it for alternate fountain pump
The media could not be loaded. This is a review for Sunnytech brand solar water pump. I had originally purchased this pump for a birdbath but had yet to use it (I already had the floating type with no cord). BUT I just purchased a birdbath fountain that required an outdoor plug- and sadly I don't have any. I thought- maybe I could hook this pump up to the fountain- just needed to be attached to the tube it came with. Wow! It worked! Has a very long cord that goes up my patio pole and up onto my patio overhang for the sun. I even had to wrap up a little extra cord. Lots of zip ties were used- if I had any criticisms so far about the pump it would be there are no holes or brackets on the solar panel to attach it to anything. You'll either have to glue or like me zip tie the cord to hopefully hold the panel in place- but it's working great!

Nice affordable product.
It works but shoot the water too high for what I wanted to use it for. Good item for the price and easy to use.

Works Well
I've been using this solar powered pump all summer and it's still going strong like a little power house. I bought a decorate clay pot and put river rocks around the pump inside the pump. Sometimes the pump is a little strong and turns out all of the water. I bought this for the relaxing sound of running water on my porch. This has been working like a charm everyday. It's been sunny constantly and the solar battery gets a ton of sun-sometimes too much.For the price, this is a nice little pump. I had a circular solar pump last year, and I find I like this one much better. You can position the solar light anywhere that gets steady sun-there is a cord that you need to keep out of the way so no one trips on it. I have the cord under the table where my pot sits. I've enjoyed this for several months with no defects or problems. I will take it in the fall and put it out next summer-I think this will last for a few seasons at least. So far no problems at all and it produces a nice flow of water. The price is really good on this pump too. I am happy with this product and have no complaints.
