Sunjet 150 solar powered pump used for small applications with statuary basins or fountains and only operates in direct sunlightTurn 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

not pumping so much anymore 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, 2009earlier 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.
lost in my birdbath 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.
