Description

Certain to please with an elegant verdigris bowl resting upon a sturdy wrought iron stand, the Smart Solar Somerset Solar Verdigris Bird Bath Water Fountain is a lovely choice. This fountain operates in direct sunlight, using a solar panel to power a low-voltage water pump. It requires no wiring; simply install and enjoy. As it uses the power of the sun, there are no operating costs. The one year warranty guarantees long-lasting quality.

 


Birds are attracted to the sounds of splashing water, and moving water does not become stagnant; therefore, mosquitoes are less likely to lay eggs in the water fountain. You can leave the bird bath out year-round; simply remove the pump and solar panel for storage, and replace them with the included reservoir cover. The 2-inch bathing depth holds approximately 1 to 1.5 gallons of water.

 


The solar panel sits in the bowl of the bird bath. Due to the fact that clouds have a filtering effect on the sun, the panel may not operate -- or operate efficiently -- on cloudy days. But birds will continue to enjoy the birdbath regardless of the weather. And you'll appreciate the tranquil beauty this birdbath brings to your garden area.

Care

If after time the pump starts to lose power or stops working you should check for the build up of sentiment or scale in the bottom of the pump housing. Carefully remove the solar pump unit and turn it upside down on a soft surface. Dry the solar pump connector and disconnect.

The solar panel should be cleaned periodically with a soft tissue and proprietary glass cleaning solution. Regular cleaning of the panel is advised to maintain optimum conversion of the sun's energy in the direct current.

The bath is EZ to set up, attractive and works as advertised. It DOES require DIRECT almost vertical sun. It loses efficiency relative to the indirect angle of sunlight. The closer the sun to the horizon (the lower the sun---the less efficient. "No brainer here!" I don't perceive any added efficiency over the concrete baths other than the fountain novelty. I don't think the birds notice anything different either. I can purchase a concrete bath for [$]. You must decide if the added money for the novelty is worth the additional cost. I'd buy it again [...]. The birth bath fountain is great for discussion if a [...] friend drops by when the sun is high!

The video shows a much wider and stronger fountain spray pattern than mine can obtain. I believe the video is questionable advertising based upon my experience. I figured out that the holes in the wide fountain head are too large. I removed the wide fountain head and inserted the alternate tube. I inserted a small brass fitting with a very small hole to increase the pressure inside the tube and I got a very nice fountain affect as shown in the pictures. So far in two days, the birds are ignoring it.

    Comments about Smart Solar Somerset Verdigris Solar Bird Bath Fountain:

    The birds found the bath after about two weeks. Now they fuss with each other, trying to keep the bath to themselves.

    I placed it close to my office window; I can watch the birds from my desk. The fountain receives sun in the morning, and then again off and on in the afternoon. It works really well, and I don't mind that it only turns on when the sun shines on the solar panel. It actually is fun to see the on and off dance. Also, not being in full sun the whole day keeps the water from getting too warm. I am not using the spray attachment, the water just burbles out of the spout.

    I am very happy with it. It was easy to set up, no cables, no hook-ups. The birds love it too.

      Comments about Smart Solar Somerset Verdigris Solar Bird Bath Fountain:

      I removed the spray piece to get a bubbler effect and sound, but either way it works. After a full summer, the bubbler still spurts enough to make noise and attract birds. A teaspoon of Chlorox once a week keeps algae from obscuring the solar panel and losing power. (This is an update to an earlier review.)

          Comments about Smart Solar Somerset Verdigris Solar Bird Bath Fountain:

          like the size and it fits nicely into my patio arrangement with flowers, etc. Disapointed in the spray of the fountain. Does not look like the photo. However, I like to sit on my patio and listen to the sound of it. I have another bird path very close to it and the birds all use the other one. I have yet to see a bird in this one. Don't know the reason.

          Product is nice and easy to assemble. Solar panel & pump work until pump is submerged. Lack of sunlight is definitely not the issue here.

          Customer Q & A
          1 - 5 of 8
              1   2      

          Q1: Will these solar panels operate efficiently on cloudy days?

          A: The panels may or may not operate, but they likely will not operate efficiently. Clouds have a filtering effect on the sun which can result in the pump not receiving enough solar energy to run.

          Q2: Do fountains have low water sensor/shutoff? What do I do if I'm away for awhile?

          A: The fountains don't have an auto shut-off switch. If gone for a long period of time, suggest draining the water portion and covering the top to prevent the solar panel from attempting to flow water.

          Q3: Can I purchase a replacement solar unit?

          A: Unfortunately we do not offer replacement parts.  You will need to contact Smart Solar Directly at 813-343-5775.

          Q4: Is it necessary to use distilled water for all of your bird bath fountains?

          A: We do suggest that you use distilled water but if you use a type of fountain protector you can use regular water.

          Q5: Can I leave the fountain outside year round without the water freezing?

          A: If the temp gets below freezing the water will freeze therefore cracking and ruining the fountain.
