A water feature can be relaxing, the sight and sound of running water provides a soothing respite from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and adds a comforting atmosphere to our outdoor spaces. But many of us don’t have the time, patience, space, or disposable income to install and maintain a pond, waterfall, or babbling brook, for those of us that want the stress reducing and atmosphere enhancing benefits of flowing water without the expense and hassle, a free-standing solar water fountain just may be the answer.

Solar fountains are similar to standard outdoor fountains in look and function, except the power to run them comes from a solar panel instead of an electrical outlet, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity, which in turn powers the pump that circulates water through the fountain. Depending on the design, this panel is either integrated or mounted separately and connected by a thin wire, it’s important to remember that solar panels produce, but do not store electricity, most solar fountains available today require direct sunlight to operate. In other words, when it is dark or cloudy, the panel doesn’t power the pump, and the water does not flow.

Meet the Blenheim 2-tier Solar Birdbath, this is a great solar powered water feature that nature-friendly that is so refreshing and inviting, having this water fountain in your outdoors will create a focal point in any setting. The solar panel does not store energy for use at night or during overcast conditions. You may also add rocks to make your fountain unique.
