Jowo Two-Tier Lotus Solar Fountain with Battery Backup

A 73.5 cm two-tier solar fountain with lotus-petal bowls on a slender pedestal painted with purple lavender blooms, in a soft stone-grey finish. A floating solar pump in the top bowl sends water spilling into the wide lower bowl, with battery backup to keep it running when the sun goes down. No power point or wiring needed.

The Jowo Solar Fountain brings a fresh, cottage-garden feel and the gentle sound of trickling water to gardens, courtyards, patios and balconies. At 51 cm wide and 73.5 cm tall, it makes a graceful centrepiece among flower beds, herbs and potted plants.

Both bowls are moulded with layered lotus petals, with the smaller upper bowl sitting above a wide lower bowl. Water rises through a gold-tone spout at the centre of the top bowl and spills over the edge in fine streams into the bowl below. The pedestal is hand-finished with tall stems of purple lavender flowers and green leaves, adding a soft touch of colour against the pale stone.

The Jowo runs entirely on solar power. A floating solar panel in the top bowl powers the pump in sunlight, and a built-in battery stores energy so the fountain can keep running after the sun goes down. Small LED lights around the spout add a soft glow in the evening. With no cables or power point needed, you can place it anywhere in the garden that gets good sun.

It is made from cement fibre, a strong, weather-resistant material that is lighter than solid concrete, and is covered by a 12-month warranty.

Setup

• Place on a level, solid surface in a spot that gets several hours of direct sun each day.
• Fit the upper bowl onto the pedestal and lower bowl, and fill both bowls with water.
• Place the floating solar pump in the top bowl, with the panel facing up.
• Allow the battery to charge in full sun before the first evening use.

Care notes

• Keep the water topped up so the pump never runs dry, especially in hot or windy weather.
• Wipe the solar panel regularly so dust and leaves don't reduce its output.
• Clean the pump and bowls regularly and use a fountain-safe water treatment to reduce algae and mineral build-up.
• Pump flow depends on sunlight and battery charge, so the flow may be lighter on cloudy days.
• In very cold areas, drain the fountain and bring the pump inside during frost.

The name

Jowo (JOH-woh) is how Javanese speakers say "Java", and it is often used for things made in the traditional Javanese way. It suits a fountain with a gentle, hand-finished floral design. It sits well alongside its sister fountain Prambana, and Negara, Wisma, Mataram and Java in our cement fibre range.
