The details

Water that moves gets noticed. This solar pump kit turns a still bird bath, pond or garden bowl into a gentle fountain, powered entirely by daylight. Six interchangeable nozzles let you choose the spray, from a soft bubble that suits nervous bathers to a taller plume that catches the sun. There is no wiring and no running cost: set the panel where the light falls, drop the pump in the water, and it starts on its own. The sound alone will bring in birds you did not know were nearby. Delivered within 7 days, with all six nozzles in the box.

Questions about this piece

Does the Solar Fountain Pump Kit work on cloudy days?

It slows and often stops. There is no battery, so the pump follows the light directly: full sun gives a full jet, thin cloud a trickle, heavy cloud nothing. Sited in the sunniest spot you have, a UK summer still gives several useful hours of running each day.

How much water does the Solar Fountain Pump Kit need?

Enough to keep the pump fully submerged at all times, so the bowl wants topping up rather than allowed to run low. Running the pump dry will burn it out quickly. Check the level daily in hot weather — a fountain evaporates noticeably faster than still water in the same bowl.

How often should I clean the Solar Fountain Pump Kit?

Change the water every two or three days and scrub the bowl weekly with a stiff brush and hot water. Never use detergent or algaecide — both are harmful to birds. Keeping it out of full afternoon sun slows algae noticeably and cuts the scrubbing down a good deal.
