About this fountain
Birds prefer a fountain over a birdbath like people prefer a shower over a tub. The water looks and feels fresher when it recirculates. The Smart Solar Portsmouth Solar Bird Bath Fountain is the most popular bird sanctuary in the neighborhood. The tickling sound of the fountain soothes nerves and eases your mind, just like those feng shui masters promised. It's perfectly self-contained and low-maintenance, with no plumbing or electricity needed. The solar-powered pump recirculates water through the built-in reservoir. The 2-inch-deep fountain bowl is perfect for frolicking birds and only requires about a gallon of water. Your tree-hugger friends will be impressed.
Moving water is fresher, naturally resisting mosquitoes and algae. A built-in filter keeps water clear, just clean it every month or so. The included 2-inch extender tube can be added to increase the fountain height. We recommend that you store the bird bath inside during the winter.
The included solar panel with the On Demand option boasts a self-contained battery and easy-to-use on/off switch. When the switch is in the on position, the pump will run as usual, but will utilize the battery when clouds pass over. Excess power will be stored in the battery, too, to keep the fountain operating when the sun sets. When the switch is in the off position, the fountain will store all solar power gathered during the day in the battery for uninterrupted use after the sun goes down. In direct sunlight, the battery can fully charge in one day, and a full battery will function for up to six hours at night.
Special Note: Solar bird baths and fountains require plenty of direct sunlight to operate properly. Please be sure to have a sunny spot to place your bath or fountain. Also, the pump must never be operated dry (out of water). Dry operation permanently damages the pump.
