When it comes to attracting the beauty of wildlife to your yard or garden, a water fountain or birdbath is a good choice.
And with the use of a solar water pump in your project, you can use the sun's energy to create a flow of water and remove the need for electricity. These pumps can be used in a variety of ways. One of the most popular uses for these pumps is in birdbaths.
Solar water pumps allow you to create a small fountain that your feathered friends will love, without having to worry about the maintenance that comes with a traditional birdbath.
When Solariver customer, Kevin, originally reached out to us while working on his solar bird bath fountain in Minnesota, where temperatures get quite cold, he was originally considering Solariver's 900+GPH solar water pump system for its larger max head and dual solar panels. But, he was concerned it would be too powerful for his solar bird bath fountain.
His hunch was right as the 900+GPH would be too powerful, so he wound up with the perfect match using the Solariver 360+GPH 20-watt solar water pump kit to create one of the most clever bird bath fountains we've seen to date.
"I'm making a bird bath where the pump will pump water about five feet up and let it run into a leaky bucket which lets the water fall into the birdbath and return to the pump."
