Automated water exchange for a birdbath

摘要

A water exchange device for cleaning a birdbath with a basin comprises a turret, a stationary mount, a first channel, a second channel, and an inlet channel. The turret is coupled to a center point such that the turret may rotate around the center point, and the mount mounts the turret of the water exchange device to the birdbath basin to be cleaned. Both the first and second channels include an aperture, and the inlet channel is coupled to the first and second channels such that when water flows into the inlet channel, the water flows out the apertures of the first and second channels into the basin. When the water does flow at a certain pressure, the turret rotates around the center point.

1. A water exchange device for maintaining a birdbath, the water exchange device comprising:
a turret rotatably coupled to a center point; a stationary mount that mounts the turret of the water exchange device to the birdbath; a first channel passing through the turret, wherein the first channel extends substantially horizontally from the center point of the turret and includes a first aperture exiting the turret; a second channel passing through the turret, wherein the second channel extends substantially horizontally from the center point of the turret and includes a second aperture exiting the turret; and an inlet channel coupled to the first channel and the second channel; wherein: the first channel and the second channel direct water introduced into the inlet channel into a basin of the birdbath at a non-radial, downward angle; and the turret rotates around the center point when water is introduced into the inlet channel and discharged through the first aperture and the second aperture.
