It works but please know this pump is NOT designed for outdoor usage.
So my outdoor fountain needs about an 18” lift and this barely will put a dribble of water coming out of the fountain. I tested it without it hooked up to anything and the lift is really about 8”. It’s more of a bubbler than a pump for a fountain.Shipping:So first it arrived when it said. Amazon packed it in a bag and thankfully it wasn’t broken as there was some care from USPS. But the buyer should beware that it isn’t packaged for fragile shipping.Quality:It is very very cheap, if it makes it through the summer I’ll be shocked. The water adjustment on both units shipped was stuck and one was broken. The adjustment had to be loosened with pliers because it wouldn’t move. The dial moves from “min” to “max” which is about a quarter turn this doesn’t adjust the water flow it adjusts the pump so “min” means it has no lift and “max” means it lifts 8”; it’s the same amount of water coming out! Once adjusted to max it’s very quite. The suction feet are a joke. They are made of plastic not rubber and cannot hold onto anything especially under water; you’ll need to find a way to keep it down and upright on your own. I took a piece of foam and cut it to fit the opening for the pump, so it would stay upright and in place. The cord is a cheap thin 18 to 24 gauge cord not grounded and not insulated for outdoor use. You will need to be careful with weather conditions and critters that like to chew. This is all plastic and designed to be thrown away when it clogs as it’s all glued together with no access to the plastic pump inside. I know it’s plastic because the flow control wasn’t on correctly and I had to take it off and fit it correctly so it would work; with it off you could see the white plastic inside. Nothing is marked and there are no instructions included so if this is your first pump you may need to rely on YouTube to understand what to do.FunctionSo first I thought the 3 tips were to do different sprays but they are just adapters for different sized tubing, so don’t be fooled you’ll only use one and toss the rest. It is nice that you can use several inner diameters. Looks like 1/2, 3/8, 1/4 ID are included. The pump as I said isn’t enough to do much more than bubble or move the water. To test, I hooked thus up to a hose and tried to fill a gallon jug with this. If it truly pumps 80 gal per hour than in 45 seconds it should fill a gallon. Hummm I think not! For it to get 128 oz of water pumped it took it 4 minutes. That means this is a 15 gph pump. The psi is very poor, as I said it will work as a bubbler but there is very little lift or ability to move the water up to it’s claimed meter! I can’t get much with only 18”.Needless to say, I will never buy this again as it doesn’t do what it says and it is poor quality, throw-away, or single use pump. Because it doesn’t do as it said, I will not buy anything from this company again either. 80 advertised 15 is reality…that’s not right!

Works okay for a small pump.
About what I expected. It puts out a little less water than I expected, but works for my purposes.

Pump does what it's supposed.
Needed new pump for small outdoor fountain. Fountain really needed a bigger pump but it works for now.

very weak
incapable of pushing a trickle of water up a 2' fountain hose. Tried both with no success.

Same as the one I replaced, but these won't pump the water up.
Used in my fountain not enough power to pump the water up.
