Beckett's solar air pump kit is designed to boost oxygen levels in outdoor ponds and fountains to keep fish and other aquatics happy and healthy. The air pump is powered by the solar panel. The performance of the air pump depends on the sunlight intensity.
Air pump turns on when there is enough sunlight striking the solar panel
This thing works great even when it's pretty cloudy!

This is my second pump. The first one burnt out after I left it out over the winter and the pond/puddle dried out. It does exactly what it says it does - bubbles like mad. Keeps the mosquito population down in the pond.

Works good
It runs in bright sunlight only. It pumps .07 CFM. That's about 4.2 cubic feet per hour. I figure it will average about five hours a day, so that's about 7500 cubic feet of air bubbles per year.
I am adding it to the cesspool to add oxygen for the bacteria, to keep the bacteria healthy and munching away. The cesspool does about 50 gallons a day. So each gallon will get close to a cubic foot of air mixed into it. I add a packet of bacteria each month and that definitely helps, so this should increase the bacteria longevity and help speed the drainage.

awesome for a pond
highly recommend it, harness the power of the sun, it has greatly enhanced my pond. Even on overcast days the solar panel is efficient enough to run the pump. Completely exceeded my expectations.

it's great for a 35 gallon outdoor pond
the power of the air pump is great for the 35 gal pond and easy hook up. also there is no extra power cords for a mess it's simple and looks great.
