Give the birds an an outdoor shower they love it! Simply pop the SolarShower in to the water and select your mode, when the sun shines the fountain spray begins.
A Floating Solar Shower can provide several benefits for the health of a pond:
Aeration: The fountain's water movement helps to aerate the pond water, increasing the dissolved oxygen levels. This is crucial for supporting aquatic life, such as fish and plants, as well as preventing the buildup of stagnant, anaerobic conditions.
Circulation: The fountain's water circulation helps to prevent the formation of algal blooms and the accumulation of debris and decaying organic matter. By keeping the water moving, the fountain promotes a more balanced ecosystem within the pond.
Temperature Regulation: The fountain's water movement can help to regulate the pond's temperature, especially during hot summer months. This is important for maintaining the optimal conditions for the pond's inhabitants, as sudden temperature fluctuations can be stressful for aquatic life.
Aesthetics and Habitat: The floating fountain creates a visually appealing water feature that can enhance the overall aesthetics of the pond. Additionally, the moving water and associated spray can provide a source of drinking water and a refreshing habitat for birds and other wildlife that visit the pond.
Reduced Mosquito Breeding: The constant water movement created by the fountain discourages mosquitoes from laying their eggs in the pond, helping to reduce the population of these pests around the water feature.
By incorporating a Floating Solar Fountain into a pond, pond owners can help maintain a healthier, more balanced aquatic ecosystem, while also enjoying the visual and auditory benefits of a dynamic water feature

Here are the steps to install a Floating Fountain:
Prepare the pond: Ensure the pond is free of debris, leaves, or other obstructions that could interfere with the fountain's operation. If necessary, clean the pond before installation.
Assemble the fountain: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly assemble the floating solar fountain. This typically involves connecting the solar panel, pump, and fountain head.
Position the fountain: Gently place the fully assembled floating fountain in the center of the pond or desired location. Make sure it is positioned away from the pond's edges to prevent it from getting stuck.
Secure the fountain (if needed): Depending on the option, the floating fountain may need to be tethered or anchored in place to prevent it from drifting. Use the included anchoring system or tie it to a fixed point on the pond's edge.
Ensure sunlight exposure: Position the solar panel so that it receives direct sunlight throughout the day. Avoid shading from trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
Turn on the fountain: Activate the fountain by turning on the power switch or following the manufacturer's instructions. Observe the fountain's operation and make any necessary adjustments.
Maintain the fountain: Regularly clean the solar panel, fountain head, and pump to ensure optimal performance. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance and winterization (if needed).
By following these steps, you can successfully install and enjoy the benefits of a Floating Solar Fountain in your pond, enhancing the overall aesthetics and health of the aquatic environment.
A floating solar fountain utilizes solar energy to power a pump, creating a visually appealing water feature without the need for a traditional electrical power source. Here's an overview of how a floating solar fountain typically works:
Solar Panels:
The floating solar fountain is equipped with built-in solar panels or a separate solar panel unit connected by a cable. These solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electrical energy.
Sunlight Absorption:
When exposed to sunlight, the solar panels absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical power. This process occurs throughout the day, with the solar panels continuously generating electricity as long as they are exposed to sunlight.
Electrical Power Generation:
The electrical energy generated by the solar panels is used to power a small water pump integrated into the floating fountain unit. This pump is responsible for drawing water from the fountain's reservoir or the body of water it's floating on.
Water Pump Operation:
The pump propels the water through a nozzle or fountain head, creating a visually appealing water display as the water is ejected into the air and cascades back into the reservoir or body of water.
Adjustable Fountain Effects:
This floating solar fountain offer different fountain heads that allow users to customize the water display. This include various spray patterns, water heights, and overall fountain effects, providing flexibility in achieving different visual aesthetics.
Eco-Friendly and Self-Sustaining:
The solar-powered operation makes the floating solar fountain eco-friendly and self-sustaining, as it does not require grid electricity and operates solely on renewable solar energy. This feature makes it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious individuals and locations without access to traditional power sources.
Overall, a floating solar shower fountain harnesses solar energy to power a water pump, creating a dynamic and visually appealing water feature that adds beauty and tranquility to ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water, all while operating in an eco-friendly and energy-efficient manner.
This is a great little pump/fountain co.bo in one floating package. It's great there are no cables to separate solar panels and it does have (intentional???) hoops on the underside that allow you to anchor it to a weight. However it does seem to only run in direct sunlight (i.e. in the middle of a blazing sunny day when it was in partial shade from a narrow cherry tree it stopped [despite the ambient light still being bright/strong])
My biggest grumble tho' is having to "code break" the timer function. I had no idea I'd activated it and now have to try and work out, with no instructions, how to deactivate it with only 4 buttons on the remote of which 1 is labelled "timer". Instructions would help or a more intuitive system. But the product works and looks great
Spring 2018 Edition
Fantastic, love it. Can't use cables as foxes chew them so this has worked perfectly for us.
Nice floating fountain
Have enjoyed this item very much. Easy to set up, but *must* be in a location that is sunny for much of the day to get the full effect. Nice to watch at night, but save battery power for it during the day if possible. Haven't mastered the multiple clicks for 1,2,3 and 4 hour durations yet. Also, if you have more than one of these fountains, the remote will operate them both simultaneously, but for independent control they must be quite a distance apart (>8-10 metres).
Finally a reliable floating fountain
I have tested a lot of these and to be honest out of all of the floating pumps I have tested this one is by FAR the most reliable, as the solar cells sit on top of the unit without an angle of any sort,
they have to be high quality and numerous to work, this fountain checks all the boxes.
Very Cool floating Fountain
Very Cool I love the remote, you can save the power more easily works much better on brighter days than dull ones but we really love our floating fountain
