Solar Fountain
I have a small plastic kiddie pool for my ducks.
Because it is so warm, algae grows quickly. I thought that if I had a way to circulate the water and add oxygen it would slow the process. It would be nice to leave the water for a week without needing to dump and refill.
When I found this solar powered fountain I thought my needs would be filled. I was wrong.
This pump has suction cups on the bottom but they aren't strong enough to keep it stuck to the bottom of the pool. That leaves it floating around the surface of the pool.
The pump isn't strong enough to push of the water up to create a cascade.
I tried it out in a shallow water container. It was able to suction cup it to the bottom and stay put. With it in a shallower container and positioned in one place it was able to create a nice cascade.
If you are looking for something to keep the water moving in a birdbath, this is perfect. Its under $18, so its not bad.
If you are looking for something for a pond, this is not going to do the trick.
I received this product for free in exchange for my HONEST review.
