If this clock runs out of power, don't search for batteries. Just take it to the sink!

Bedol Water Powered Alarm Clocks really do their part to reduce our carbon footprint by running on tap water alone! When they first arrived I filled the reservoir with water wondering if this really could be possible. With seconds, the digital clock started running. Amazing. There are three versions of the water clock. I showed the Smiley, the largest of the three. It has the largest water tank, and when filled can run up to sixteen weeks or more on just plain tap water! (They don't recommend using bottled water.) Just refill the water reservoir when you see it running low through the translucent case. The smaller Water Droplet (not shown here) retails for $29 and is available in four colors. The newest eco-friendly Bedol Water Alarm is the Smiley (shown here) and it’s available in six colors: Red, green, orange, blue, yellow and charcoal. You have to remember that aActual operation times will vary depending on the content of local tap water. But when it runs low, power is as close as your sink. How does it work? The clock’s power plant employs the ions in water to generate electrical current. Each clock features a daily or hourly alarm and easy to set 12 hour or 24 hour clock.
