Materials Needed
Before starting construction, prepare the following materials:
6W Solar Water Pump
Choose a PopoSoap 6-watt solar water pump, which is equipped with a solar panel and a long wire for easy installation and use. If you choose another water pump, make sure its power can meet the requirements of raising the water to the appropriate height, and it is best to have the function of automatically entering dry mode without water to prevent burning.
Bird Bath Container
Choose a shallow and wide container as a bird bath, such as a common ceramic or plastic shallow plate. Make sure it is large enough for birds to perch and play. At the same time, check whether the container is damaged or leaking.
Filter Accessories
Use the small filter that comes with the water pump to filter impurities in the water, keep the water clean, and extend the service life of the water pump.
Decorative Materials
Prepare some pebbles or lightweight decorative stones to hide the water pump and provide a perch for birds.
Installation Steps
Assemble the water pump
Carefully unpack the solar water pump, assemble the components according to the instructions, and pay attention to installing the filter.
Place the water pump
Place the assembled water pump at the bottom of the bird bath container, try to hide it under the decorative stones, but make sure that the water inlet of the water pump is not blocked and the birds can freely approach the water surface.
Connect the solar panel
Connect the solar panel to the water pump through the wire, and choose a sunny location to place the solar panel, such as an open and unobstructed grassland or a nearby roof. If the solar panel is far away from the bird bath container, you can use a long wire to connect it. Pay attention to the direction of the wire to avoid affecting the appearance or causing safety hazards.
Water test
Add an appropriate amount of clean water to the bird bath container, observe whether the water pump works normally, and whether the water can be sprayed smoothly to form a fountain effect. Check whether there is any abnormal noise or water leakage during the operation of the water pump, and adjust it in time if there is a problem.
Decoration and improvement
Place some small branches or other items suitable for birds to inhabit around or inside the container to increase the comfort of birds using the bird bath. At the same time, further adjust the angle of the solar panel to ensure that it can fully receive sunlight to maintain the stable operation of the water pump.
