1-star reviews are absolutely not my thing, but the Royal Gardineer pond pump drives me to this novelty. the delivery was, as in 99.9% of cases, quickly and absolutely perfectly. The installation of the pond pump in our water feature also quick and easy. Commissioning here turns out more difficult, because in spite of the sun, playing here is no water and bubbles and splashes nothing. The terse instructions here betrays no gimmicks, tricks or solutions. My partner and I initially thought really that somewhere there still must be a hidden button that we have overlooked. After 3 days of unsuccessful testing, and shortly before the planned reduction of the pump, they suddenly began to the bubbling. However, after about 30 seconds, the magic was over.
The Explanation; the organization shall retain a direct sunlight brand "Namib", meet with high intensity on the solar panel. Pushes a small cloud in the direction of the sun, represents the Gardineer operation even again. So is absolutely not to think of a nice operation. We have now written off the investment and simply buy again; This time, however, a much more expensive model with integrated battery to have even with clouds and after dusk even joy of sparkling water.
I can therefore only advise and awarded 1 star; Hands off ..!
