Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This will do the trick, but not without adjustments. Takes a greater depth of water than the photographs imply. Ad photos make it look like you can place it in an inch of water and it will work, but this is not the case. It's going to take 2.5 to 3 inches to work. It came with very poor instruction sheet, no connections to go from pump to rock, requiring you to fit the pump directly to the interior of the rock, resulting in the feet of the pump being another quarter to half inch off the floor of the birdbath which inturn requirs a deeper water level, not to mention the pump being suspended from it's outlet, rather than settled on it's feet. The vibrations of the pump, although slight, would probably over time cause undue wear on that plastic connection which is not meant to support the pump. Once a deep enough water level for operation is achieved, there is only about half the layered rock formation above water, completely doing away with any babbling water sounds and most of the water movement. The connections which DID come with the pump were not mentioned in the instruction sheet at ALL, and seem to be three water spouts meant to replace the rock formation, each spout creating a different water spray pattern. However, these do not fit onto the outlet of the pump and to use them would require a trip to Lowe's to find fittings to make the connections. A birdbath deep enough to accomodate this device will be so deep that none of the normal backyard birds one would hope to attract with this thing would get into it. A finch-sized bird attempting a bath in this tub would run a better than average risk of drowning. The only place they could approach the stream of water would be by standing right on top of the little rock pile. Since the water does not exit from the top, but rather down a couple of 'layers' of rock, access to the moving water is very restricted for the birds. For the price of this little ditty, I am VERY disappointed. I was duped into thinking I could bring it home, pop it into my birdbath and be done. Instead I am faced with a minor to medium sized Do-It-Yourself project which will cost some extra dollars/time/aggravation to complete.
