The pump will harness the sun's rays to provide a relaxing gurgle in the middle of your water feature. The 5-watt solar panel produces up to 360 liters per hour of water flow, with five different fountainheads providing a diverse waterfall design.

 The product can not work alone even under full sun around noon time December 13, 2009

I purchased this product and thought it will work just like the product described. However, after it arrived I found out it cannot work without spending much more money on other necessary components. When I first got it, I was very excited and tried out immediately under California's sun around noon time. I had tested the DC water pump with a 9V battery and it ran fine in clear water and raised the water about 2 feet high. Then, I also measure the solar panel with a multi-meter. Although it did give a 12V voltage, but the current was much less then it described on the product (.34AH). The current cannot even shown on my .25AH multi-meter. So, I had put them together and of cause the water pump didn't work. I had asked my solar engineer friends and found out it will need other components including a rechargeable solar battery (such as a 12V/5AH sealed lead-acid battery for approx. $50), a solar power controller (probably a MPPT type in winter, approx. $200) just to make it work in California. I may also need to have an outdoor housing for these components, a mounting rack for the solar panel and many different type of connectors (approx. $300 combined). I was very disappointed after knowing that I still need to spend much more money than the kit itself just to make it really working!

After many contacts with Happi Sun I still do not have the pump and they have not replied to my email of 10 days ago!!!
good while it worked and the sky was blue September 28, 2009
Douglas Birbeck (akita, japan)
the solar panel only works with strong sunlight and blue skies. there's a nice jet of water then, maybe over 2 feet. however mine has stopped working after only a couple of months, but i haven't checked why yet, could be a loose wire or something. anyway i bought it just as an experiment, so i'm not worried. if it was still working i'd give it 3 1/2 stars
Short on durability, big on ease of use August 14, 2009
Michael S. Uhl (North East, MD USA)
I am using this device for a purpose outside of its normal "fountain" purpose. I am using it to transfer water from one aquarium to another with the fountain indoors. The installation and connections were very easy and elementary. Problems: I had one plug connector pull off, which required replacement, and a small crack in the glass of the panel, which I thought would not be worthy of "fussing about", has quickly grown to cover the entire panel due to the heat expansion of materials while in use. I would purchase another if I had assurance that the product would arrive intact and without cracks, now that I'm aware of potential concerns.
 solar filter for pond July 14, 2009
Lorna Harvey (Mount Vernon, WA)
The price was right on this product. I was a little dissapointed in the size of the spouts. It would be well suited for a container pond, or small fountain though. I think we are going to need two for our size of pond 100gal. For some reason, its stopped working at this time, most likely user error though as it is a well made solar panel. It arrived in a very timely manner!
