Enjoy the resonance of a water fountain with the wildlife attraction of a birdbath with this two-tier solar fountain. The solar powered pump continuously pumps water through the top spout which is directed around the swirling ridge design into the first basin which spills into the wide bowl below. Wide enough for birds on both tiers, you can go bird watching without ever leaving your home.
A self-contained fountain, this piece comes with all the parts needed for assembly and needs no tools. No installation is required. Each fountain color is also distinct and particular to that fountain. Let this fountain bring you years of a peaceful water feature sure to be enjoyed by you and wildlife alike.
On the solar powered mode, the fountain will run directly from solar energy; however, the pump will only work in bright and sunny conditions. On the battery mode, you can power your fountain for up to 4 hours on cloudy days or at night. When the battery power is depleted, the system will automatically change back to solar powered mode and start again when there is sufficient sunlight. Included is a timing set that will run your fountain for four hours at a time.
The battery generally lasts between 12-18 months, but with repeated charges and discharge cycles the battery will become less efficient and battery capacity may reduce. If the battery does appear less efficient you may try and boost charge it. In order to boost charge the battery you must leave off for 2-3 sunny days to allow maximum charge to the battery. If the boost charge does not help the battery then you will need to replace it. Open the battery cover on the back of the solar panel and replace the batteries with 4 standard AA size rechargeable batteries.
For an additional purchase, an electric battery charger is also available. If there are several cloudy days in a row where the solar panel cannot recharge the batteries fully, you can unplug the solar panel, bring it inside, and plug it into a standard outlet with this battery charger to recharge the batteries.
