Hi,

I want to make a cheap, basic water feature for our decking and a
solar-powered pump would seem the easiest way of doing this. Does
anyone have any experience of using these? - are they generally any
good, and what should I look out for?

The price does seem to vary considerably, so any help would be
gratefully received. So far, i've found the following sites:-

I'm not an expert, and don't want to spend too much time on this, so
the simpler the better!

Many thanks in advance

Steve

I bought several of them a couple of years ago from different sources
hoping to make a water feature. I returned each of them to the shops and
bought an electric one. They are rubbish and a waste of money. For a start
they only work in full sunshine and secondly I could pee a better flow rate
than they produce.
