This does exactly as described. We have a small pond about 2 x 1 metres. I have put it down in the central, deeper part of the pond. I have protected the pump on the edge of the pond with a "bonnet" tile so that the birds ( wood pigeons) can't knock it into the water. It will still bubble gently even when it is cloudy. No doubt this will not be so during the Winter but do I need it then? It was very easy to assemble. A little of the plastic pipe is exposed to sunshine so maybe over time this will perish but there is plenty for the size of the pond so it could easily be shortened.

does not work unless the sun is shining direct onto the solar pannel, despite the enthusiastic revues of others! it doesnt run if even slightly cloudy. weather proofing/sealing and build quality is poor, i doubt it'll last a full year but we'll see?. the only way to get this to run better and hopefully last a year is to pair it up with another solar pannel and re seal the one that comes with it a disappointment

Having had solar pumps before that need full sun to work wasn't expecting anything better. However this great little pump works well even on duller days (with slightly less power). It comes with plenty of cable and air line so positioning isn't an issue. I have used it on a small pond with a few fish to keep oxygen levels good on hot days. So far it has delivered.

Prior to purchasing one of these I tried a few others and they all lacked the ability to operate in low sunlight. These ones however are much different. In strong direct sunlight they generate enough amount of air that would rival some of the most powerful electric pumps on the market. In low light they still generate a good amount of air and even on rainy dull cloudy days they are still generating air (not a lot but still some that you can see bubbles rising to the top of the pond) In summary: * Very powerful in direct sunlight * Still generates air in low light or on rainy dull days * Very easy to set up * Very quiet operation * Excellent value for money * Probably the best of its kind on the market (after trying many others) * Sufficient for large Koi ponds (buy more than one as I have if your pond is large)Read full review

What a wonderful little oxygenator. I'd read the reviews and am so glad I picked this. It runs even when there is no sunshine, it is just not quite as fast as when the sun is shining. It is not noisy and the cable and tubing are good lengths. I would definitely recommend this.
