Biling Solar Fountain for Bird Bath, Solar Panel Kit Outdoor Solar Water Pump with 4ft Tubing for Hummingbird Bath, Small Pond and Fish Tank

I am very happy with the way this solar fountain pumps works. This is my Amazon review for the Biling Solar Fountain for Bird Bath, Solar Panel Kit Outdoor Solar Water Pump with 4ft Tubing for Hummingbird Bath, Small Pond and Fish Tank. I wanted a pump that worked right away, that worked off sunlight but not necessarily the sun needing to beam directly on it for it to function properly. This solar fountain pump works very well off direct sunlight and continues to do good with intermittent sunlight or slightly overcast with a few passing clouds. It has been spraying water high for more than four hours straight. The birds love it. It is very easy to set up. The pump itself is dry-run protected in that if the water falls too low, the pump will shut off. When sunlight is very strong the water fountain reaches 16, 18 inches and higher through the fountain head attachment. I have only used this product today because it is brand new. It was delivered yesterday. I searched for a solar water fountain that would work well and last a long time - meaning years. I can say it works well, and we shall see how long it lasts, but for now it gets 5 stars from me because it works as advertised. I have an older different solar water fountain I love that I ordered in early 2024, and it still lights up and pumps out water. I hope this new pump will work well for years. Thanks, Amazon.

I read all the reviews before I purchased this, and in spite of the complaints about random shadows ceasing the fountain activity, I bought it anyway. The reviews are true and correct, any slight interference with the sun (passing clouds, overcast skies, my own shadow, etc.) does cause the pump to halt immediately. This solar panel does not store the suns power - not even a smidge - so if that's what you need, this is not the product for you. However, for my purposes, this is perfect. My goal was to create a hummingbird fountain and provide a daily water source for my hummers and butterflies. I don't need the pump to run at night, that would just cause faster evaporation. Even when the pump is not running, there is still a water source for my friends, as I have it set up to keep a small bowl full. When the sun shines again, the pump resumes it's purpose of recycling the water and keeps it moving. I can't really speak to longevity yet because I've only had this for about a week now and so far it has not disappointed. If it does, I'll come back and update. The pump arrived on time and was neatly packaged. All the parts were there and in perfect condition. Comes with a little instruction manual too and was very easy to assemble. I included a measuring tape with my pictures to show the panel size, it is pretty small, but it does the job as intended. I do wish the cord was longer because I would love to have mounted the panel on my roof - once the sun sets past my awning my little fountain is done for the day. The clear hose has a curve to it from being in the package which resulted in the fountain not shooting straight up, it wants to maintain the curve resulting in a lop-sided spray. To resolve this, I found a small piece of red PVC laying around and ran the clear hose up through it to keep it pointed straight up - worked perfect. I saw a review or two that said the tips don't fit the hose but after a bit of persuasive wiggling the tip went on and worked as advertised. In fact the tips worked so well that they sprayed higher than I needed for this project so I did a bit of modifying to my hose and PVC contraption until I got the spray height I wanted. Again, keep in mind that the height of the spray is directly related to the strength of the sun. Strong sun = strong spray. And I can switch the tips whenever I want. Btw, there is no ON-OFF switch on this, but not to worry, once the water at the bottom of the planter (or pond or whatever you use) gets too low, the pump automatically shuts off so that it doesn't burn itself out. I like that a lot. So, I guess it's all about what you will be using it for. I am super happy with mine and plan to create another fountain for my rock garden. I will be buying again.

Updated review: Their customer support finally contacted me after a few weeks. After assuring them I had gone through all troubleshooting steps, they promptly sent me a replacement. Here's hoping that it lasts longer. Otherwise, this is a handy solar-powered pump for a little fountain which works well for the price (when it works). It has a good flow and works great on moderately sunny to very sunny days. Don't expect it to work on dark days. It's not designed to do so as it has no battery backup. If that's important, look for a different product. Old Review: It stopped working after 7 months. Have attempted to contact seller's support several times with no response. Product page stated 1 year warranty. Not sure how that works without response from seller.

Edit 10/2025: Biling company contacted me in response to my review offering a full refund. This was a bait-and-switch tactic. When I replied yes, they instead changed their tune and asked me for my home address so they could send me a replacement unit (which I don't want because their product is garbage). Amazon specifically prohibits this kind of messaging to customers so I reported them. I also replied to Biling saying no, I want the full refund they offered. They have not responded since. Extremely shady behavior! Original review: I bought this specifically because it has a sensor to prevent it from running when the water runs low/dry. Unfortunately Biling's main brag for this pump is a failure. Within 3 months the sensor no longer functions reliably. A single time I let the water run out and found the pump still running while dry. Then a few weeks later I had the pump fully submerged and it refused to run, with the sensor indicating it was dry. So the sensor is broken and/or unreliable meaning I never know whether or not the pump will work. I'd have been better off buying a cheaper pump without the malfunctioning sensor.

The pump suddenly stopped working after six weeks of use and many cleanings of the included sponge filter. I wrote complaining and asking for a replacement. The next day, your customer service sent a checklist and a tutorial. After watching your video, I was able to open up the casing. What I found was a tiny little millet seed that was jamming the impeller. Once I removed that and reassembled everything, the little fountain pump is working again. I use this fountain in a bird bath so little seeds are always clogging the sponge filter. Just now, I slipped a nylon stocking over the filter in hopes that it will make it easier to clean and keep these little seeds from getting inside the motor casing again. I appreciate your quick response, the informative video and your offer to replace the pump if none of the things on the checklist worked.

This fountain worked great at first but now we are in summer where I am at and the pump stopped working. Power is still going to it but its official dead. I've checked the wiring, filter, solar placement but still nothing.

We have an old fountain from my mother that hasn't worked in years. i do not have an outlet nearby so thought to try this and it is perfect. It's pushing water up a tube, so it doesn't have great pressure but creates a great flow of water that cascades down the fountain into the bird bath. Solved a problem we had for years. now our old fountain is working and makes me think of my mom every time I look at it.

Pump stopped working after 2 months. The first one I bought lasted a whole year but this one was delivered in June and the pump stopped working already. I always made sure that the filter and pump was clean and it always had more than enough water so it would not burn out.

It's working nicely - first day using it Hopefully the birds will enjoy it too

Pequeña y funcional, excelente que se desarme para poder limpiar.

Worked OK at first then pump died after two months
