Will the fountain work if it's been rained on?

It is an outdoor water fountain as it has a guarded cord, but if you use an extension cord with it I would use something similar to this: Farm Innovators Model CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock - Green to protect the plug. The only thing the instructions warned was not to use when 40 degrees or below, as it would damage the motor.

I use my only indoors cause I like to keep an eye on the intake of water for all my pets. This is by far the best fountain I have ever purchased. It stays really clean and I have chosen to use only bottled water to ensure that the build up from sediments in my water does not cause any problems as with others that I have purchased. I would say though that if used outdoors you should have it protected under a porch. I would be afraid of the electrical getting wet not sure how protected it is. It does have a chew proof cord to the pump.

Rebekah, Thank you for your question! Because the pump is submersible, rain should not cause damage to your fountain.

I imagine it depends on how much it got wet. All of the wiring is insulated pretty well. I would say as long as the AC power adapter doesn't get flooded it should be fine. Just be sure to plug it into a water tight exterior power receptacle. So long as it doesn't freeze outside u should be okay.

Mine is used indoors so I really can't say. The unit itself would not be affected by rain but the plug and outlet the unit is plugged into may be an issue.

If there is no water in the incoming pipe the unit still turns off and on per the timer. I doubt there is any pressure sensitivity, and expect it will work on a rain barrel as the time simply turns a valve off and on.

If the holes are not lined up correctly, there will not be a fountain. I just play with it until it works. After using it, check out how to clean the motor. I have a medium length hair cat and she does clog up the motor. She believes in putting her chest in the water in order to drink.

I have never had a problem with rain, but that being said, I have a covered front porch, so typically the rain doesn't get in too much. I have seen it wet, but always worked fine.

I would definitely say yes. I installed mine on an exterior eave in the rain, and then it rained three more days - workes perfectly.

dont think so; if anything (incl. rain) touches the metal, it will switch on and off, and its not sealed for outside use

Its a timer... The gate will open at the set time whether there is water there or not it should work fine on a rain barrel.

Yes, it works on an internal float that when the water rises, the pump runs. The two blue wires connect to your system as an emergency shut-off should the water not get pumped out. Works well so not to flood your utility room.

I would contact Bonide on their web site. It rained a few hours after I put it down and it worked great, it was the only thing that did work.

Yes it can get rained on; however, I has not been tried it in a heavy down pour, only a small shower.

As long as there is no moisture, like rain gets on it, should work. I would contact the mfg to be sure

I don't know about that. I have had mine for several rainy monthes outside with no problems.

Yes. Just make sure there is at least a week with no rain forecasted because it will render it useless by washing it into the ground.

I don't think so. When I take it out to change the water, I need to put it in the shade to stop it from running. We only use it when we're home so we can add water to the birdbath as needed. I really do like this little fountain. Works great and is very enjoyable.

Yes absolutely mine got rained on many times. You just have to tilt the cushions on their side to drain out the water because if you don't the underside stays wet.

I have not used mine for that, only an outdoor fountain. I think it would as it very thick & tough. Pun intended.
