I have very happy for over a year in operation, and am. The price performance ratio is correct when one considers some: 1. pump mounted on dry winter 2. protected pump from coarse impurities by a plastic box. Pump is in an empty plastic box that was provided with inlet holes and is weighted down with stones. In the can lid I made a cross-like incision and there carried out from below the riser. The pipe is laid in can not slip or be slipped through the birds that use the barrel as a bathroom and potions. The Suction pump were already too weak to hold the pump in the long run. In addition, the box can easily be placed and, ultimately, the level of the water jet can be regulated. This is about 20 cm truly not very abundant, but there are enough. 3. The pump is not to hear the lapping very enjoyable, just that it does not interfere. 4. properly aligned it is running in the sunshine 10-20 clock. 5. without sunshine nothing happens, but as we do not sit on the terrace :-) 6. Compared with a variant with a battery, has at least two possible sources of error less (battery + charging circuit).
In the fall I take them out, rinse them off and put them in the shed - that's it. Anyway, I save the einbuddeln the power cord for my previous pump.
