Mademax Solar Bird Bath Fountains, Upgrade 1.4W Solar Fountain Pump with 6 Nozzles, Free Standing Floating Solar Powered Water Fountain Pump for Bird Bath, Garden, Pond, Pool, Outdoor

This is absolutely the best fountain! It has been in my birdbath for several years now. It is simple, but works well. The maker of it enclosed a note thanking me for the purchase and explained that she had made the product and was starting her business. I hope that she is still going!

I bought this to keep my bird bath lively without dealing with cords or batteries. The solar powered setup promised quick starts in direct sun, and the claim about attracting hummingbirds was a nice bonus. The option to swap nozzles gave me something to play with as the bath size and sun conditions change. In everyday use, I filled the bath with clean water and set the pump in place. In direct sun it starts within a few seconds and the spray appears almost instantly. The built in retainer keeps the pump centered, so the stream stays in the bath instead of splashing over the edge. I experimented with the six nozzles to switch between patterns, and for a smaller bath I found that using no nozzle cut down on splash nicely. What stood out is how simple it is to set up and how reliably it runs in sun. The different spray styles are actually useful for changing the look, and the bubbler option helps keep water from splashing out when space is tight. It requires clean water and regular topping up, but there are no cords to manage. One small note is that it does not work at night or on cloudy days and it relies on direct sunlight. Also I learned to keep the water level adequate to protect the pump. Despite that, the overall effect is pleasant and the birds seem to enjoy the movement and aeration. Overall, it’s a 5-star addition to my garden.

It's a nice little fountain and it works well when it's in the sun. As soon as the shade hits, it will stop working. It has little plastic arms to try to keep it center in the birdbath or pond. But if the wind blows it to one side or the other the water goes over the side, drains out of the birdbath and then stops working. I wish there was a way to keep it center. I ended up slipping plastic straws over the arms to make them longer to fit the size of my birdbath so it would center it better. It seemed to work, but again as soon as the wind blows, it blows all the water over the side as the fountain is working, drains the birdbath and then it doesn't work that's why I gave it four stars

This is tough because the fountain works pretty much as it is described and it has lasted over a year of basically non-stop, continual use during spring, summer and fall seasons in Ohio. We are using this in a 27" bird bath that gets full sun exposure for ~8 hours a day, then is partially shaded in the late afternoon and evening. So why only 3-stars? Primarily for understating the flaws... 1. The note in the description about the spray height being directly related to the sunlight intensity is an understatement to say the least! The ONLY time you will see tall spray like in the pictures is when there is complete full sun exposure with absolutely ZERO obstruction. Slight haze from a humid summer day?...nope, that's not enough sun. Now, with that said, it does run when there is little to no sun, but it's just a trickle. That's enough to keep the water agitated, but not much else, and that has served it's purpose for us at least. 2. The description mentions "a larger birdbath is recommended to prevent splashing out of the birdbath". Again, that's quite an understatement! We have what I would consider a fairly large bird bath at 27 inches in diameter, but on the rare occasions we have enough full sun, anything but the flat spray nozzle will result in most of the water being sprayed out of the bath onto the ground. If even a slight breeze picks up, then most of the water ends up on the ground and in a matter of minutes the bird bath is empty! So I'm not sure what bird bath would be big enough to use the other tall spray nozzles unless it's a small pond. Also, keep in mind that it floats, so it hardly ever stays in the exact center of the bath; so even with a huge bird bath, it would eventually float to the edge and you would end up with the same problem. 3. Finally, the thing is a magnet for algae and debris. It's not necessarily hard to clean, but it does require frequent (basically daily) cleaning. Because the entire surface area of the fountain is in constant contact with the water, I think it also makes the water get dirty faster as well. 4. I don't think the birds care about the fountain. They use the bird bath, but I have never seen them use the fountain's spray - partly because we use only the flat nozzle just to keep the water agitated and provide a little sound, and nothing more; so there is rarely any spray for them to play in. To sum up... we've been relatively happy with the fountain and the limited functionality that we get out of it, but are looking for other, non-fountain options that will run more consistently and have less surface area contacting the water, but still provide the sound and agitation we want. But if you have no wind and no clouds and a gigantic bird bath and don't mind taking it apart everyday to clean, this fountain will work for you!

I am VERY impressed with this little water fountain! We have it in our flower bed right outside our living room window and it works very well even when the weather is overcast. I can't say the birds really use it as often as I had hoped, but that's not any fault of the fountain. We've had it out since May 2025 and it is still perking along in February 2026. When this one wears out, we'll likely get another.

Love it when it works. Only works in direct sun. Any amount of shade & it quits working. And I mean even if a leaf covers it it won’t work. Also it Really goes though water. You gotta have a deep well of water or it’s out & also won’t work. But when everything it perfect I do like it. I also like that it comes with different nozzles for different effects.

Super simple assembly. Works as described. Hopefully the birds like it

Once the sun is gone,it's doesn't work anymore,it's only works under full sun
