Sunsbell Air Pump Pond Kit Solar Kit Solar Water Pump Solar Powered Pool Pond Oxygenator Aerator Bubbler, for Garden Fountain Pool Aquarium Fish Tank

The media could not be loaded. I've had this installed in my garden pond for less than a week, so if things change I'll update this review. However, this is working exactly how I had hoped. I made a backyard pond a few months ago but pond plants were out of season, and I don't have power nearby. This caused my pond to turn anaerobic and a nasty bacteria turned the whole thing black. You couldn't see an inch deep. I needed a source of oxygen with solar power. Since I installed it 3 days ago, the black bacteria has already started to recede and visibility is about 4-5 inches deep now.I was concerned about how it would withstand the weather, as it's been rainy, but it is still pumping air after 2 days of rain. It did shut down for a day after not getting enough sun, but once the sun came back, so did the bubbles. Its very quiet, I can't hear a thing even when I'm standing right next to it. It's putting out plenty of air with the air stone about 1.5' deep and the solar panel 3' high off the ground. It's working great.

I have four (4) outside fish ponds, these work GREAT. I bought a different type/brand, still solar, while more powerful, failed after about 3-4 months.

Nifty little thing. Came with tubing, stone and splitters, big plus.So downside... it uses more power than solar will charge. I'm only using a short tube and one stone, and even after charging it, the solar power can't keep it charged to keep the bubbles going from dawn to dusk. If I plug it in, the bubbles are too strong and my Betta RuPaul just gives up on life. The orange neocaridina shrimp named Highlander loves it. She plays in the bubbles like a dork. Just wish there was flow control and solar was more efficient. It's pretty easy to use and install, small enough to prop up on the window sill. So I'm not displeased.

Been on the dash of the boat for two years and still running!

UPDATE 5/11/21I use this to supply air to the hydroponic plant on my window sill. It never charged the battery so I connected power thru the usb port. Eventually the started to act up then stopped altogether. Opening up the unit and using the model number on the motor I was able to order an exact replacement thru Amazon here: Gazechimp Durable DC 3-6V Aquarium Fish Tank Mini Mute Air Oxygen Pump Aquarium Tool. I removed and inspected the board and found out that negative pin on the board for the battery was not connected to any thing, so I added a jumper from it to the negative pin of the solar pin. Everything works as it should but I assume the pump, which lasted over a year, will give out again. A new pump cost $8.70, I'll probably buy one more then go into a different direction.One star. If I wanted a pump hooked up to a power supply I would bought one.

I tried liking it, but, it just doesnt work well. Battery life is minimal at best. Must use it with a powerbank.

I've been using this for a while. The bubbles are ok, not super strong, but it's decent. If you are looking for something quiet, this may fit that need. However, it's quiet because it's not very powerful. The battery life, on the other hand is pretty useless. I've tried charging, changing batteries, etc., but it doesn't really hold much of a charge. I ended up plugging it into a USB connector to keep it running since the solar panel doesn't seem to really do anything at this point. The solar panel worked ok at first, but is now inconsistent, at best. If you want something that charges all day, then runs all night, this will not meet that need.

This is a wonderful idea. Unfortunate it’s way too small to work in a small stock tank. Lots of bubbles they just come up under the ice.

Funciona muy bien

Update: This Sunsbell solar air pump stopped working after not even two months. About a month after using it daily, the pump was not working, even in full sun, without battery power or external power. A few weeks later, it's stopped working entirely even when plugged in. I have a cheap AC air pump for less than half the cost which still works after two years, so I can't recommend this solar pump anymore. I'm going to try a cheaper USB-powered air pump and use it with a power bank or other portable battery instead.2nd update: Instead of buying a USB-powered air pump, I took out the air pump/motor (which still works) and made a DIY USB-powered air pump with it. In hindsight, it seems the problem is indeed the solar panel, which is too weak.Below is my original review:I'm writing this from the perspective of someone setting up a small outdoor hydroponic system. It has a Li-ion battery so it can keep running when the sun isn't strong enough. It also has a USB port which can also power it, if you want to also run it 24/7. Due to its size, it really needs full sun to work properly. Also, like some other solar panels, it's very shade sensitive and will immediately slow to a crawl if something covers even 5% of the surface. I haven't tested the weather durability of it yet, but based on other reviews, I might just keep it under cover when it's raining.Overall, it's pretty good for the price, but if you need it for a professional setup or have a lot of cloudy days in your area, something else might be a better option. Bottom line: It works, but it's cheap.
