This water feature combines a rustic, old-world charm with clever modern technology. It is solar powered, which means it is environmentally friendly and economical to run, and it features a memory function which allows it to switch on at the same time every day. This beautiful piece is elegant, reliable, and user-friendly.
 

Harnessing the sun's rays for power, this birdbath is friendly to the environment and your wallet. Built-in solar panels in the basin store power from sunlight and power both the feature's pump, and LED lights. This also means that this feature requires absolutely no digging to install, simply place the birdbath where you want it and get started. The fountain will run automatically each day, as soon as the battery has enough power to run the pump, and it will continue to run for up to one hour after the sun has stopped feeding the panel/battery. If you want the fountain to run again, you can switch it off and back on again, and it will run for a continuous 6 hours(depending on charge levels), then revert to standard operation. If you don't want the fountain to run at all, setting the switch to the off position will simply charge the battery ready for use.
 

This charming Castille Birdbath boasts a number of clever features that make it easy and economical to use. It can be enjoyed any time of day or night - the solar panel stores up energy which can be used at a time of your choice. The super bright LEDs automatically illuminate if the pump is running after dusk, adding to the soothing ambience, and allowing you to enjoy your feature any time of day.
 

The feature comes with four fountain heads, allowing you to choose between 1, 6, 7 or 8 jets. The water cascades down the first tier and into the basin below, where it is recirculated through the feature. This feature is fully self-contained.

Mains Power vs Solar Power
 

The traditional way to install a water feature is to connect it to your main power supply, although solar powered water features are a great option, there are also benefits to choosing a mains powered feature.
 

 

Mains power is better to effectively run larger water features. These tend to have higher energy requirements, so a mains connection is required for reliable usage. Solar powered features are great for smaller features and birdbaths as they usually require less power. 

 

 

Mains powered water features allow for prolonged use. Solar panels only last as long as they have stored up power and will only work if there is good weather. Mains powered water features will work in any weather and in limited sunlight.
