Turn that stagnant bird bath into a cascading bird sanctuary with the SunJet solar-powered water pump. The kit includes a low voltage pump with filter and three different spray heads for creating fountains up to 10 inches high. The pump operates in full sunlight, and pumps 40 gallons per hour without adding a cent to your power bill! The included solar panel measures 7-3/4 by 3-1/2 by 2 inches and comes with a 16-1/2 foot connection cable, so it's easy to tuck away in the side-yard or mount up high on the garage. Easy to install, the SunJet is backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. --Brian Olson

OOPS the price goes up and the quality goes down! I have had more failures with my later pumps- still think that it is a good idea - I just wish they wouldn't mess with a good product for a larger profit margin!!!!! December, 2009
earlier I had written . . .
I read the negative reviews for this SOLAR pump (some even complain that it only works when it is sunny - - - duh). I have had my first one now for three years and I love it. It couldn't be easier to set up - a couple of screws, stick the panel into ground (it can also be mounted) and put the thingy in the birdbath and VOILA!
It isn't a fountain but it is perfect for a birdbath. I played with all the different heads that send the water up higher - about 8 to 10 inches - and opted to just use it with no head and let it bubble to a height of about 4 inches on sunny days and the birds go nuts for it - sometimes they sit right on top of it . . . bet that feels good on a hot day!
I confess that I am not that diligent about cleaning it out around the filter BUT this little pump is so forgiving that it keeps going anyway. Occasionally it needs to be taken apart if some debris gets in (you can tell when it happens because it makes a funny humming sound) but the maintenance is so minimal that only a birdbrain would find it a chore.
I have had the water wigglers in birdbaths - they're okay but they get funky and rusty - that is why I am buying my second and third solar pump to replace the wigglers in the other baths.

This item is "cute" - for a small birdbath and in a small area. Mine looks "lost" in the 18 inch wide bowl in my birdbath and in the wide open surrounding area because the water does not go up too high. It does not go as high as shown in the photo. It would be nice for a smaller bath and maybe on a deck. It is pretty easy to assemble and does work. Just not as impressive as the photo and write up make it appear.

I've just set up a little front garden with fragrant potted plants, a hummingbird feeder and a small table and chairs and I wanted a water feature which would serve both as a bird bath and provide the sound of splashing water, but there's no electricity available and I didn't want to wire something in. I have a 24" wide pot with pretty rocks and water. I set up the fountain as soon as it arrived, in the middle of the night. I'd read the mixed reviews here and was a little nervous, but in the morning I had lovely splashing water. I played around a little with the solar panel placement (it comes with both a stake and a mount for attaching it to a deck, roof, etc.) and my fountain splashes prettily all day. The fountain too comes with a float for deeper ponds or can be set in the bottom of a shallower pond (as I have mine). There are three different fountain heads. I used the one with the most sprays and it sprays about eight inches up all day long, as long as it's sunny. Even when the sun goes behind a cloud, the fountain gets lower but doesn't stop spraying.
I've only had it for three days, but so far it's absolutely perfect. All of my neighbors have commented on my lovely fountain and the wonderful sound of splashing water.

Perfect solar pump for my little water feature!
This works great in my little front yard. I have a pottery bowl that holds about 10 gallons of water. The pump does the job that I wanted it to do. Thank you!

Very good product
Excellant product, works perfectly. Would highly recommend. Solar battery does a good job in powering the spray. Pump very quiet and the water makes a very soothing sound.

Good then disappointing
I was so excited when I first set up my fountain. As long as the sun was out and not covered with clouds it was beautiful. Read more

Works as advertised, but
Water in my bird bath evaporated in just a couple of hours. Not the fault of the fountain but I will find another use for it.

A Dissapointment
I knew this would not be a powerful water pump, which didn't bother me while it worked. Sadly, it didn't last long. I wouldn't recommend it.

Not a BIG Spume
As the other reviews mention, you must have bold, direct sunlight on the solar panel to get action. The water spume is not very large but if you find the "sweet spot" you... Read more

Cable length not as stated.
I choose this rating because I have not been able to use the item yet. The item is supposed to have a 16-1/2 foot cable. The cable goes from the pump to the solar panel. Read more

Fun addition to your birdbath
Nice little addition to your typical bird bath. It needs to be directly in the sun for it to work thou which is kind of a hassle. Read more
