VOROSY Solar Water Fountain: Free-Standing, Floating, Solar-Powered Pump

Jan: I wanted to add a water feature to a birdbath that I have. I have to put it on a water pattern that does not spill out of the birdbath confines for obvious reasons (it will run out of water and you will have to constantly refill it). The filter would clog with tree debris often so I had to clean it but that is not the water fountain's fault....that was my fault. I just moved the birdbath to a better location where it didn't get inundated with tree needles, leaves, etc.. It is very nice and even my son commented on how much he enjoyed it!!

Amazon Customer: I rated this fountain only three stars because the fountain construction is designed to fail.

The water flow height decreased about a month after I put the first fountain in my small pond. I cleaned the filter which is also difficult to remove when the motor is mounted with the filter trapped between the electrical box and the motor.

So, I cut off one of the motor mounts and rotated the motor so the filter faces outward. After cleaning the filter, the water flow was still low.

I pushed out the motor to separate it from the panels. Then, I carefully lifted the sealed box’s exposed long side edge by pivoting on the opposite edge against the plastic back. If you lift the entire box to break the tape seal, then you could break the two thin wires that connect the sealed box to the solar panel solder pads.

These two exposed soldered pads got wet when the sealed electrical box sealing tape leaked. Water on the bare solder pad joints will drain some of the solar power from the fountain battery.

I used a waterproof epoxy to permanently waterproof the entire solder pad area (including the lightly raised area around the exposed solder pads). The epoxy...

mommermom: The media could not be loaded.  I love this bubbler for my bird bath. I was not able to use any of the nozzles because the water sprayed out of my birdbath when the sun was hitting it directly. Mornings with less sun allowed me to use any of them but because of where I decided to place my birdbath, it works best without any at all. I think using in a more shaded area you could use any of them-and they were all good! I realize that it needs to be stabilized in the water somehow so the plastic straws do the job but I took off one star because I don't like them to be so visible. Maybe if I had a larger birdbath it they would be less noticeable. I did trim the plastic just a bit to make them fit. I have only had it for a few days so I can't speak to the longevity but so far I am very pleased with my purchase.

Joe046: Haven't had the fountain long enough to really rate the longevity. The fountain worked great when first put in bird bath. Love the choice of 4 nozzles. After rain for three days in a row, it took some perservence to get the fountain to work again. Cleaning is easy but it took two cleanings and a lot of shaking to get it to work again. Today was sunny and it was working perfectly. I do keep my bird bath clean and hopefully the fountain will continue to function well. The birds seem to enjoy it and it keeps the water in the bird bath much cleaner. So far good purchase.

Further information on my purchase. I now rate this item 0 stars. When it worked, it was great but it has stopped working and no amount of cleaning or shaking will bring it back to life. I live in FL so sunny is not a problem. I believe I have a defective fountain and I have contacted the seller requesting a replacement or a refund but so far no reply. I would never buy from this seller again.

LizP: This fountain works great, as soon as I put it in the bird bath it started right up. The only issue I had was keeping it in the middle so all the water doesn't go out of the basin. The 4 plastic attachments don't really do much to help that as my birdbath isn't deep, they just laid on the edge of the basin and didn't keep the fountain from floating around and have the water spray out. I finally figured a way to keep it centered by placing small rocks around the center of the basin then placing the fountain on them so the pump underneath was submerged and it couldn't float around anymore.
Taa daa... now my visiting birds get a pretty fountain birdbath to refresh in.
The different attachments are great too, incase you want to change the pattern of the water spurts. If you have a backyard fish pond this would be a great fountain for that also.
