It's a bit of so-so. It works. If it's sunny all day the pump continues on for an hour or two after dusk (from the battery). If you let the battery run down completely, the pump doesn't start up until there have been a few hours of daylight.

Since we are usually in the garden for coffee in the morning and happy hour in the evening I'm going to need to remember to turn the pump off during the day so the battery will get charged up.
An inline timer switch should do the job powered by a 9 volt battery switches the pump off/on 24 hour clock at certain times of the day.
neat thread interesting to see how it turns out after it has all settled in
