What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise this pump for affordability, ease of use, and effectiveness in creating soothing water features for small to medium setups. Most appreciate the multiple spray attachments and calming fountain effects. However, many report design challenges with the thick cord and large plug making installation difficult, requiring workarounds to fit containers. Some experience premature failures after weeks or months, though most find the pump performs well for its price and purpose.

Small container pump

Would Recommend

I purchased this to use as a small filter/pump to use in a small deck container while cleaning my fish pond. I set this up in a pot that holds maybe 40 gallons of water and the filter and pump worked great. I only have 6 small fish and they seemed to like this container setup better than my larger tank. The lift on this is approx 12-14" and has 2 different spray heads. A sprinkler and a bubbler. I centered the pump in the container and locked it in place with a brick so the pump stays centered ...

Piece of Trash

Would Not Recommend

Had the pump for less than 2 months and it already stopped working. Wish I keep a copy of the receipt because I would return it for a replacement or my money back.

Does the job

Would Recommend

Used it in a quarter barrel 26"D X 7" deep. It just fits without spraying over the sides.

Did not meet expectations

Would Not Recommend

Have been using this type of pond / bubbler kit in my yard for years. Always had some sort of water feature to enjoy. Bought this 2 months ago because it is "fish " friendly and it has already burnt out. Does not make me or a couple of goldfish happy.

It's the BEST Patio Fountain EVER!

Would Recommend

In no time it was set up and running! It's flow is adjustable so a soft splash is soothing and perfectly suited for the patio garden! I love the versatility of the fountain heads, and the telescoping feature.... The small fountain now has 2 waterlilies and a couple of goldfish, along with silk water lily flowers.... I LOVE the price and because of that I am thinking of buying one for indoors!!! I assure you... you will be quite pleased with the display and the results of having a patio pond inco...

Great fountain

Would Recommend

It is a great fountain. I haven't drilled a hole in my pot. I just draped the cord over the edge that way I can use another pot if I want. Like having choices in spray.

Less then what I expected

Would Not Recommend

Purchased this pump and fountain kit for a new small pond I was setting up for a friend. I found it very simple to set up with a few different fountain options, HOWEVER, the only fountain head that I could seem to get to look half way decent was the spray head. Not sure if I got a weak pump but with the flow control on the pump wide open, the pump would not put out enough water volume to make the other fountain heads work properly. Very disappointed in the performance of the pump volume, especia...

Nice Replacement Pump

Would Recommend

Good replacement pump for ours that busted this winter but make sure you seat the rubber seal good or else you'll have an empty setup.

Easy to set up!

Would Recommend

What a great little pump. Instant fountain! The price was right and all I did was set it up in a container of water. It was a 2 minute project - and that included opening the plastic package! It is extremely powerful, though. I ended up having to put a rock on top of it because it was shooting the water so far. Great price.

Great product

Would Recommend

This is the third bubbler purchased. First two of a different brand burnt out in weeks. This one is going strong, keeping the little fish happy! Also purchased one as a gift for someone.

I think the birds will like it.

Would Recommend

Problems: 1. The central pipe is not centered on the pump, so if you put it in a round bowl, your fountain will not be centered either. The pictures show a round planter about like mine, and if you put the cord through the wall with the cork plugging the hole, then this size bowl would be fine. (My pot/bowl interior is 13 1/2" diameter and it's 10 1/2" high. 2. It would also be nice if the pump base were weighted. 3. If the you use the waterspray and your bowl is not large enough, all the water ...

love my deck fountain

Would Recommend

I had an old galvanized steel tub with a drain hole in the bottom that wasn't good for anything I wanted to tote. I decided to enlarge the hole a little to fit the electric cord thru and turn it into a deck fountain. I had a chore finding a paint that would cover the galvanizing but everything else about this project was a breeze because of this wonderful little fountain kit. I found that I still had a little water leak after the epoxy around the cord/opening dried, but a few dabs of Gorilla Glu...
