What is a good, cheap water pump to make a battery-powered fountain for birds outdoors?
People who know birds generally know that they love the sound of running water – it attracts them and makes them sing. I’d like to build a simple, pole-mounted bird-bath / water fountain for my birds outdoors. I’m trying to locate a pump for the water – preferably solar powered. Inexpensive, reliable, no issues with priming, enough of a flow to make a little sound.
1. What kind of pump is best?
2. What’s a good vendor for this pump?
3. Is it realistic to power it with solar? Source / type of solar celll?
I guess I should emphasize that it is something I want to build myself; and the solar part is optional. Thanks for the recs’ reviews on Amazon say that generally the solar doesn’t generate enough power, better to go with juice from the grid.
Solar pumps work well for this sort of application if you’re not imagining something like the fountains of Trevi.
Sunjet and AquaSolar seem to be the brands I see most commonly around here in ponds.
