Description

Transform your bird bath into a fountain!
Your favorite birds will love to frolic in your bird bath when you add our Smart Solar Fountain Pump Kit. This low-voltage water pump uses solar power to filter the water and spout enchanting streams into the air. Lively fountain action will delight birds and make your yard or garden a more cheerful, relaxing place.

 

This fountain pump operates only in direct sunlight and has a flow rate of 40 gallons per hour in optimum conditions, which will keep water clean and adequately filtered. The solar panel does not store energy. If placed in a shaded area or under overcast skies, the fountain will not perform. Select from three different fountain heads to create your favorite water formation.

 

Fountain head, solar panel, pump, filter, and float are all included. Utilize the float option to use the pump in a deep fountain or even a pond. Leave the float option off for use in shallow applications.

 

 

Additional features

  • Filtration for cleaner water
  • Pumps up to 40 gallons per hour
  • 40 GPH is average flow rate - may vary with sun
  • 10-foot cord from fountain to solar panel
  • Includes fountain head, solar panel, pump, filter, and EVA foam float
  • Fountain heads offer: Spray, Sprinkle, Stream, and Bubble
  • Maximum fountain height up to 14-inches (Jet fountain head in bright sun)
  • Measures: 4L x 3W x 9.25H inches, 1 lbs.

 

Special Note: Solar fountains and bird baths require lots of direct sunlight to operate properly. Please be sure you have a sunny spot to place your fountain or bath.

 


Fountain spray height: up to 14 inches in direct sunlight
Solar panel dimensions: 6.5L x 5W x 2H inches
Cord length: 10 ft. from fountain to solar panel

 

It is recommended to use this pump with a depth of 3 to 6 inches, depending on the fountain head used. The diameter of the fountain or birdbath you place it in should be at least 12 inches to minimize overspray. The manufacturer suggests using this pump with a bowl or fountain with at least a 3-inch opening.

Received the second Sunjet about 3 weeks after returning the 1st one. This one came encased, where the first one was to be snapped together (which didn't work). The design of this one is much much better. It works great. Placed it in the birdbath and put the panel in the sun and it started immediately. I'm very happy having gotten one that apparently was redesigned from the 1st one I received. Thank goodness the company made things right!

Made a solar garden fountain
Quiet,simple
No battery so even walking by casts a shadow that stops flow. Takes awhile to start flowing even after getting sun. Instructions cryptic about connection and explanation of limitations. Weak flow. have to keep repositioning panel to run for any length of time. Pump is too light, topples.

Comments about Smart Solar Fountain Pump Kit:

The fountain pump is easily installed and works well with full sun on the solar panel but must have full sun. I read some reviews complaining about loosing water. Naturally if it is windy, you are going to loose water with a fountain. Just use the attachment that doesn't spray the water high and it will be fine. I'm impressed with the purchase. It's great not having to have power for the operation of the fountain pump. While I really didn't get it for birds, they are coming. Just another plus.

    I have mine in a large "bird bath". The height of the water column is 1/2 of the height describe and it looks anemic.

      Comments about Smart Solar Fountain Pump Kit:

      Didn't even know this product existed. [...] Product [...] assembled in a few minutes and is working great. I've seen dozens of bird on our bird bath at the same time since I installed it and this morning saw a hummingbird flying back and forth through the spray of water. The birds are happy and so am I. Only down side is it only works in direct sun light which we have plenty of here in Calif. This was pointed out in the product description and the reviews so no surprise. Even a bird lighting on the solor panel will stop the flow of water.

      • Birdbath

      Comments about Smart Solar Fountain Pump Kit:

      We have a small backyard in Baltimore City and wanted something that would control mosquitoe larvae in the birdbath water. This is a very pretty addition and we are enjoying it although it does need absolutely fun sun and doesn't work on a slightly cloudy day. We haven't seen any of the birds we had return as yet but hope they will enjoy it as soon as the terrible heat here subsides. Would also love to have it store solar power for use at night and in cloudier weater. We do enjoy seeing and hearing the water cascade.

        Customer Q & A
        1 - 5 of 6
            1   2      

        Q1: How high from bottom to top is the entire unit (pump, solar panel, and fountain head) when assembled and placed in the bird bath?

        A: Once fully assembled, this is 6" tall.

        Q2: What role does the 16 foot cord play on the pump?

        A: The cord simply attaches the solar panel to the pump. There is no electrical involved. Thanks.

        Q3: What are the minimum and maximum water capacities for the pump?

        A: Recommened depth is 3" to 6" depending on the fountain head used. Diameter of birdbath should be at least 12",to minimize overspray.

        Q4: Does the pump have an on/off switch?

        A: No, there is no on/off switch, as it is solar powered.

        Q5: Will this work with a fountain/bowl with an inch and a half opening?

        A: The manufacturer suggests a minimum opening of 3 inches.
