Cute stuff Spie

+ Flexible installation of solar panels by 5m cable and mounting material for Wandmontgae, pole mounting or ground spike
+ Long duration with battery. After 5h on battery power I have the test terminated without the fountain height would become visibly smaller!
+ Standard NiMH batteries, easily exchangeable
+ Good workmanship
+ 60cm fountain height

- Fiddly switch on the rear of the panel

Dia should expect from such a small part of any miracles, for emptying a full way past the basement part is not intended.
As a nice toy, the pump fulfills definitely their purpose and more is to be expected at this price.

Addendum 18.9.2010
After nunmher a second season in the garden pond, the pump continues to fulfill its purpose. The batteries I have exchanged a few weeks ago due to reduced capacity to commercial "ready to use", now is the runtime on battery power again clearly above three hours. Since the new batteries have a higher capacity, they need however for a "full load" even longer, but that's no problem.

Supplement 05.05.2015
Now it is in the 6th season !!! Cable cut the flowers cutting :-( soldered together, everything goes back. I've probably caught a good specimen. :-)
