25 Warning Signs When Shopping for Solar Pumps Online or via Amazon

The rise of Chinese shell companies in recent years has led to a surge of low-quality solar pump products on US marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. These companies operate under fictitious brands, promising warranties and support, only to vanish when faced with negative reviews.

Deceptive Tactics of Solar Pumps on Amazon

Why do we see such an abundance of affordable solar water pumps on Amazon? The straightforward answer is that the platform often sources products directly from overseas factories, flooding the market with enticing yet inexpensive items. For just $80, it’s understandable why someone might think, "What could go wrong?" However, is that really the case?

In fairness to these businesses, many showcase five-star reviews, suggesting some customers are satisfied. Yet, these glowing endorsements may come from people who were compensated for their feedback, or from actual customers who, despite expressing dissatisfaction, still rated the products highly. A troubling trend is that numerous brands lack reviews on their own websites, providing little means for consumers to access reliable information aside from what is presented on Amazon. We’ve deduced that these companies have a specific strategy for misleading potential buyers.

List a cheap water pump on Amazon > Secure numerous 4 or 5-star fake reviews > Keep the product listing active until the average rating falls below 3 > Relaunch the product under a slightly altered name or brand > Repeat the process.

RPS is a solar pump provider operating from the United States, utilizing domestic workers and offering genuine support. We are perplexed as to why so many counterfeit options are infiltrating the US market and causing issues for consumers. Thus, we've committed to uncovering the unsettling realities surrounding solar pumps sold on Amazon—prepare yourself, as you might not see a refund.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS ON AMAZON

DC HOUSE SOLAR WELL PUMP REVIEW FROM VERIFIED PURCHASE 1 out of 5 stars

Ultimately, it malfunctioned within two months. I've contacted customer service through all listed channels—multiple emails, the little chat bubble for assistance—and nothing. It's been over three weeks since I sent more than 15 messages without a reply. The customer support is a joke. The pump started giving off smoke and smelled like something electrical was burning. Just so you know, this pump only runs twice a week for 5 minutes, and it burned out this quickly. Prevent yourself a massive headache—avoid anything from this company and similarly branded products. You can thank me for saving you the time, frustration, and the $65 you’ll lose.

SHYLIYU SOLAR WELL PUMP REVIEW FROM VERIFIED PURCHASE 1 out of 5 stars

I was thrilled about the price and the positive reviews. It arrived two days sooner than expected, which was great. Upon installation, I was initially pleased with the pump’s performance. Yet, after just 45 minutes, it ceased functioning and now won't work at all. Customer service is only available Monday through Friday, so we’ll see how they address the issue. UPDATE: After contacting support, their assistance proved to be extremely unhelpful. Please don’t waste your money or time on this product.

ECO-WORTHY SOLAR WELL PUMP REVIEW FROM VERIFIED PURCHASE 1 out of 5 stars

If your pump failed within the first year, here’s why: after my pump malfunctioned after 5-7 months, I disassembled it for inspection. The design and assembly were substandard, with poor sealing that allowed water to enter the motor's armature area, leading to deterioration and wiring breakdown. I suspect all Eco-Worthy products are constructed similarly; the only variation is their outer casings. Lesson learned; time to seek a different supplier.

BE AWARE OF WARRANTY SCHEMES!

A concerning detail is the absence of warranty information in many listings for solar pumps. This lack of transparency raises a significant red flag and likely accounts for the numerous negative reviews citing pump failures that went unaddressed by the companies.
