SZMP Solar Fountain Upgrade, 3.5W Solar Powered Bird Bath Fountains with Flower, Outdoor Water Feature Solar Pump with 7-in-1 Nozzles, 4 Fixed Pipes for Humingbirds, Garden, Pool, Pond, and Fish Tank

I wanted something to keep the water in a bird bath moving to keep mosquito larvae at bay. This was cheap enough to try and honestly I didn't expect much, but as I said - I am impressed! Last year I installed the arms to keep the pump more centered but they became so loose they often fell off the pump. This year I didn't put them on and it works fine. I had put it out during a brief warm trend early this Spring and forgot about it when the weather turned cold again. Although the water froze one night, the pump started right up after I thawed it out. I never expected that to happen! The height of the spray depends on the amount of sun it is getting. In full sun there is a decent spray, but that varies as the clouds roll in depending on their density. At night and before sun rise, the pump is off. While others may want something different, that kind of operation is fine for my purposes. This year I am using a different (finer) mesh material for the filter and it seems to be working well, but it does need more frequent cleaning. I don't know that MUST be done but the supplied mesh just impressed me as being too open for someone that is not all that disciplined at keeping the pump cleaned - like I am. All in all, it was money well spent. If you buy one, some periodic cleaning will go a long way to keeping this working. A good spraying with the garden hose is generally enough and cleaning the filter is a must. At the end of last year I gave it a thorough cleaning and it started after letting it sit in the sun for a while. Should the need occur, I will definitely buy another one. Edit - 8/10/25 Well doesn't that figure! I write a review praising this product after having it for over a year and then it starts acting up. One day it worked well; the next day it still worked but barely. Cleaning it didn't help so I bought another one. But for the money, I still think it is a good buy. I just hope the new one does as well.

Over 2 years I have purchased 5 of these solar water fountains. I love them and they have been working great. 2 of these solar finally stopped working but they are 2 years old. I had 2 flower pots and put real flowers around the rim of flower pot and then put another pot in the middle of the larger pot, fill it with water and have a fountain in each. In May I added another identical pot to make 3 (always decorate in odd numbers). That fountain is no longer working! Ugh! I bought 2 more they are good so far. It makes me sad that my 3rd fountain purchase doesn’t work and it’s only 2 months old and out of the 30 day return policy. Is there anyway I can get a replacement? I had bought an extra but did not plan on using it so quickly. Ty I am impressed, they reached out to me and refunded the cost of one fountain. I have already ordered an other to complete my trio of flowers and fountains.

The fountain works just fine. When the sun shines brightly, the spray is quite high. The only complaint I have is that the plastic tubes included to keep the fountain centered in the birdbath don’t work well. They slide into a groove on the body of the fountain, and it does allow the tubes to bend just a little. This sometimes results in one tube getting hooked over the rim of the birdbath. Still, I’m enjoying the fountain. The birds have just started checking it out.

As other reviews have pointed out, the fountain only works if the sun is out. It doesn’t have a battery to store solar energy. Luckily, I live in a place where we get a lot of sun. I was a little worried because my brother told me I could burn out the motor If the water went dry. That’s happened lots of times with no problems. In fact, I can hear the motor quietly running even when there’s no water in the birdbath. But the fountain starts immediately as soon as I put water in. The fountain comes with different nozzles so that you can adjust the type of water flow. When you set it up, you have to attach four small tubes. These not only feed water into the fountain, but they keep the fountain centered. I’ve had the fountain two months and it works beautifully as long as the sun is out and I remembered to fill up the basin. The fountain is not only pretty, but it aerates the water to help keep it clean and free of green goop. For the price, I’m definitely happy.

It's ok. It works but only in very bright sunlight, clouds shut it down. When it is spraying it sprays everywhere outside of the water area no matter what nozzle I use. The first day I had to go fill it 3 times in just a couple hours--not really worth setting up when you have to constantly monitor it. When the water level gets low it makes an extremely loud grinding sound you can hear from inside your house--it's that loud. There is no on/off switch either so you need to plant on being home to monitor it if you want it to run at all without drying up and annoying all your neighbors with that awful noise. For the price it's fine, but would not purchase again.

This fountain works better than other ones I’ve purchased. I believe the glass top helps the solar panels produce more power. It even works a bit in partial shade. The straight up spout seems to work best with my small bird bath. I use a few rocks to surround it to keep it in the middle. I had a problem with algae in the water, so I had to clean it frequently. I recently purchased a copper bird bath disc to put in the water to help with that problem. We’ll see if it works. Note: This is the 3rd time I’ve purchased this item. They didn’t seem to last but about a year before they stopped working. It may just be the harsh Louisiana summer sun or the excess algae. I still recommend this product because the price is low enough to allow replacement.

This Solar Powered Bird Bath has truly exceeded my expectations. It’s beautifully made, durable, and works like a charm as soon as the sun touches it. My little garden birds absolutely adore it — they splash, drink, and bathe with such joy! It adds a peaceful, magical touch to my outdoor space, and I find myself watching them for hours. The quality is excellent, and it hasn’t faded or worn despite daily use. I highly recommend it to any nature or bird lover looking to add a touch of life and serenity to their garden. 🌞🐦💧

Thought I’d take a risk on a solar floating fountain as I’ve a couple of small ponds mainly for water adapted plants. The box comes with the solar panelled fountain and lots of attachments etc - usefully there’s a comprehensive booklet and there’s really not a lot to do other than placing the pump in the water - you allow the air to bubble out of it as you submerge it by placing it in the water at angle. It then floats and should start to work (it works even when cloudy but only minimally for obvious reasons). I have used the tube attachments which fit into the sponge (there are pre made slots in the sponge) basically to keep the fountain more or less centred in the planter. The placement of my ponds is a little shady and the pump did throw some water up but I considered it would be nice to have it sited somewhere where it could work for most of the day. I had a planter which came with a bung so filled with water and placed in an area of the garden I know gets more or less sun all day (north facing garden being the issue)….. and the fountain is great- very effective and super to have some water play as well as the sound. I think I’ll still end up buying another two for the ponds even if they do fall in shade at times during the day. Build wise the fountain is nicely finished and appears to be well constructed - the glass should be more resistant to the effects of UV unlike plastic. The pump started to work as soon as I got it out of the box - I’d recommend to anyone who has a water small feature in the garden - very reasonably priced. Update: had this for a couple of years now and still going strong. Bought 2 more since. Not sure why negative reviews are left when all the packaging clearly states it won’t work as well if it’s cloudy or dark - it would mean having to store the energy and that would mean a battery - a heavier item would not sit well in water. For the money this is great and works as it should. If the sprays seem weak you need to check that the mesh protecting the pump from debris doesn’t need cleaning as this usually the cause. Always good to check the glass for limescale build up (if topping up the water feature with tap water) as this inhibits the solar cells - BarKeepers Friend helps clean the glass if it’s just dull and limescale remover for deposits.

Très bon produit fonctionne très bien. De plus j'avais des doutes pour acheter et il n'y a pas besoin d'avoir beaucoup de soleil pour qu'elle fonctionne vu que les petits panneaux solaires sur la fontaine permettent de magasiner plus de lumière contrairement à ceux qui vendent chez Action.

Works described.. but is my second one as the last one randomly died!!

Five out of five sunbeams! This SZMP Solar Fountain Upgrade is the bee’s knees for bird‑bath bragging rights. With its 3.5 W solar pump and dainty flower head, it turns any patch of soil into a miniature Niagara—no cords, no fuss, just pure sunshine power (obviously works best in full sunlight, see?). Ma absolutely flipped her lid—she’s been chortling like a schoolgirl every time the hummingbirds come to waltz. The seven nifty nozzles let you switch up the spray pattern like a stage magician, and the four fixed pipes keep the show running smooth as silk. If you’re hunting for the perfect gift to make your garden the talk of the town, look no further. This solar spritzer is the real McCoy—works all day on the house that sunshine built!

Geweldig! Doet het zelfs op bewolkte dagen.
