Esotec 101708 Solarteichset Rimini plus (garden products)

Customer Review

Due to the fairly good reviews I bought the solar pump Rimini Plus at 1asolar.
After some waiting period I received the kit and immediately tried. The installation, or better, putting up the pump with its solar module is a no brainer.
So far all well and good, but I was a little surprised at the tiny pump. But that's not really a problem, after all, only a small fountain is supposed to operate.
Bad: After about 2 hours in full sun and clear water pump was gone, no longer beep.

So packed everything and sent to 1asolar back, with a request to replace the unit. Thus have then left nearly 2 weeks, at this time no information or messages - well ... Angrily also: the shipping costs for return have not as described, be refunded.

The new pump is now for a few days in the pond in operation. So far, no new problems.
Once the sun on the solar module seems gehts los - the fountain bubbling nicely, about 15-20cm high. Totally ok.
I run the pump with solar energy where any excess solar energy to be stored in the battery. This works as follows:
Is the sun behind a cloud, is first of all closing. Only when the sun seemed a long time (several hours), the batteries are sufficiently loaded in the solar module, the pump runs sometimes prolonged cloud cover on.
In the meantime, "sputters and spits" the pump sometimes, not because of a clogged filter but lack of battery power. This occurs on cloudy days to frequently.
If the disturbing you can switch the switch to the solar module and for example, only charge the battery without the pump to power.
Conclusion: The pump and the solar module act somewhat spielig, are ultimately but ok and function. Large fountains but you should not expect.
Exasperated, I have 1asolar through the retailer. Good service is another way: with better communications, faster processing and compliance with its own information in warranty claims (shipping costs refund).
Recommendation Solarpumpenset Rimini Plus - yes
Recommendation dealer 1asolar - no
