This decorative, unique solar fountain with a battery for backup is sure to bring elements of peace, serenity and class to any garden, patio, porch, deck, or other outdoor space in need of an uplifting, soothing focal point. Once assembled, simply connect the solar pump to the panel and place the panel in direct sunlight. Mount and conceal the solar panel in a sunny place and enjoy! The solar with battery backup option allows this fountain to harness solar energy even when there is no sunlight! The rechargeable battery pack charges throughout the day (with or without the fountain running) so the gentle water sounds may be enjoyed in the evening as well. To run on battery mode simply press the battery On/Off button. This fountain also features an LED light on the top tier to illuminate the water bubbling at night!
