Are there larger suction cups available from you? Plus, will this work in a concrete bird bath, as far as sticking in place? What is the min. depth of water required?

We have a concrete bird bath so ours floats. If the wind is blowing, it will blow it around, and if on the edge, you will lose all your water. We had to tie our solarrific to a concrete frog in the bird bath so it would not float around. The water has to be at least 3-4 inches deep.

I would give it at least 2-3 inches water depth. It works fine floating around. The suction cups comes with a string so it will move some. Keep in mind it only works in direct sun. It will not work on cloudy days or just day light.

Originally I had the fountain in a concrete birdbath, and the suction cups included did not stick. To keep it in place, I weighted the unit with a stone using the included fishing line. That worked fine and was not visible at all. Now I have the fountain in a larger, glazed birdbath and the suction cups work. My water depth is about 2".

Yes it is perfect for a shallow bird bath. The first one I bought worked so well I bought another. The birds love it!

I have small birds that use it to bathe. I even saw a dove on there once but bigger birds would dislodge it I think.

It has been a low as 20 below here in Iowa and this has worked for the bird bath. I do not know for a continued flow of water. A lot better than some others I have tried - for sure heavy duty. One challenge, squirrels might gnaw on the wire and cause a short, real easy to repair.

This fountain needs at least 2 inches of water to function and works best in 3 or more inches. This is even more important when you have it in a smallish bird bath like I do, as opposed to a big pond. The fountain is great because it attracts birds, but it makes the bird bath lose water quickly (it goes over the side of the bath). I have to refill the bird bath every morning.

Yes it will work fine, the bird bath is kind of flat on the bottom so it will sit without tipping, but I have put a brick in mine, or something heavy would work to keep the bird bath from blowing off if there are strong winds. Actually i think it would look very cute sitting on a stump!

We have no idea why birds stay away from this bird bath. But they do. Could be that the water doesn't move or there is enoughwater in other locations. We moved it and still no birds. I would not recommend this bird bath.

We haven't tried that. Could you put a hangar close so the user could reach it if needed? I always stay close during bath time.

The inside dimension is 8 1/2 inches. I use it to hold a plant. I don't think it would work for a bird bath.

There is not a suction cup. Mine is used in a fish tank and I have to weigh it down.

My thoughts exactly. I am in the same predicament. The suction cups are specific to the product. I would suggest contacting the vendor Starlight and Sunny because they seem more than happy to help customers. That is what I plan to do.

Dave, there are 31 suction cups on the bottom of the Soapy Soles I purchased. Each suction cup is less than an inch in diameter. I have taken pics and as soon as I can figure out how to load them I will. I believe that you should have no problem with this device suctioning to the bottom of your small square tiles. I really rely on this device a lot with my bad back.

none whatsoever as far as the heated bird bath goes. but how low to the ground is this stump? i find the birds like the birdbaths to have some height to them. also, please note that you will definitely need an extension cord - as the cord on the bird bath is very short. And, finally, i have three of these (yes - i love them) and put a nice size rock in the middle of each - both for stability and the birds stand on the rock and feel secure about the depth of the water. enjoy!

Yes it will work in a shallow bird bath but you need one with a large enough circumference to allow room for the wiggler and the birds!

I purchased this for a cockatiel, it's very small, more like for a parakeet or finch sized bird. I ended up taking the top off mine and using it for a water bowl. I'd recommend getting a bigger bath than this one.

It is adequate size ..my problem was the suction cups slipped off off the tub surface.Hope you have better luck...

There are some brackets that come with the bird bath. They are adjustable for various sizes and lock in to post with set screws. I use my regular concrete bird bath in the summer and replace the top in the winter with the heated unit.
