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:

        It was easy to install in an older concrete birdbath. Was not sure about it all when I saw how small the box was, but it turned out to be just as advertised and I spent several minutes just watching the water and enjoying the peaceful sound it makes. Thanks for a very neat and simple product.

            Comments about Smart Solar Fountain Pump Kit:

            So far so good. i've had a solar fountain before so i know it's limitations. this one was easy to set up in my old bird bath and is cheerfully spraying water as i hoped. keep in mind, it needs good sunlight to work well as i'm sure most all solar products do. there are several ways to set up the pump (i.e. submerged or floating) but i just submerged mine and put a small stone on it to keep it from tumbling over. seems to work well. now i just need to check the water level to make sure the pump is always submerged. don't know if it will attract birds -- they never usually come to my birdbath anyway, but i bought the pump to move the water so mosquito larva don't breed. i also like that the solar panel doesn't have to be right next to the fountain.

                  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.
