I would be interested.. it would be great to be able to put it anywhere, without the noise/expense. Also would maybe be good for bunnies without the cables?

I'd definitely be interested. Where I would normally put my water is miles away from a plug so have to trail cables. Need a guinea pig to try it out???

what would you do about algae growth from having regular sunlight and would the english sun really do the job? I find solar powered things in my country cottage a bit of a waste. maybe making the solar charger removable? That way i could charge it outside with out the water being exposed to the sun increasing fungal and algae growth but still use the power of the sun!

already thought of this - dont want to give too much detail at the moment. A solar charged battery pack is a possibility but there are a few safety issues re this versus the sealed power unit

depending on how much it costs to produce I am looking at a finished item around the 20 -25 mark
