Very compact and easy to install. Installed it myself in minutes, no tools necessary. I used it for a small 20 gallon fish pond in my front yard where I do not have an electrical outlet. I used it with a little spitter instead of the provided fountain head...it looks very cute and works like charm! Received many likes from my friends and visitors. The spitter sits about 2ft. above the actual pump level and it can still spit out the water to little over a 1ft. distance. The fountain heads also work fine, but don't expect it to shoot up too high. It is ideal for small ponds and bird baths.I was quite skeptical about how it would work on cloudy winter days. However, being in California, did not have a day until today where it would not run, used it for almost 3 months now with no issues. Although it shuts off when it is too thickly cloudy, it does work even with the slightest of sunlight. I placed the solar panel on top of my front pergola (which is little short of actual roof level) and the pump runs literally thru the entire day. The battery charges well and when turned on gets it to run for atleast 2 to 3 more hours. After which the mode switches back to 'solar' automatically. In that way we don't have to switch to solar manually again.Received the shipment very prompt and well packaged. Received some extra parts too, which is nice.
