Beautiful Well Made Fountain
The media could not be loaded.
This fountain was a replacement for another off-brand one that I had to return because I couldn’t get it to work. I went with this Homedics fountain because they are a trusted brand. It was very simple to put together, pieces were sturdy, and it looks beautiful in the room. My only minor complaint is that you have to adjust the rocks underneath the water flow in order to hear the gurgling noise. Sometimes, when you do that, it will spray little drops of water onto the counter. It does warn in the instructions that you should set it on a waterproof surface in the event this happens.

Great while it lasted
The water evaporates pretty quickly if you don’t watch it, you will burn out the motor.

They give you so many rocks to place where you want. The sound is great and relaxing. It does gunk up over time but so far mine still works without issues. I love it!

Many compliments – A great choice
I’ve had many compliments on this fountain. The amber light is relaxing. It gives a sense of peace & the flow of the water is just right. I didn’t use the rocks in it, but instead had a few pieces of my own small rocks I added to the different layers.

Pretty, dainty, and quiet
I like that it doesn’t take up much space, was super easy to put up, and has a silent motor. All I hear is the light trickle. I like that it lights up too.

Bliss!
I’ve had mine for almost a year. I turn it on most days, and it’s as tranquil today as when I set it up. If you tinker with the placement of the stones, the sound of the water varies. I use tap water and have even added a few stones from my hikes. I’m very 🥰

UPDATE: No longer Bummed About This Fountain
UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE: I gave in and ordered another one simply because my cat was pissed. It lasted a solid 5 months before it stopped working after a cleaning. With it being my 5th one, I was careful to use only filtered water and cleaned it once every 3ish weeks. My 6th fountain arrived today, and I am happy to report that it is the best one yet – no noise (with felt discs installed on base) and the water flow is fantastic. I realize that I seem like a nutcase ordering the same fountain over and over again, but it’s only $20, which is cheaper than a automatic cat water dispenser. Plus, I haven’t found one I like as much on my desk.UPDATE, UPDATE: Holy terror of a grandson broke the first fountain that finally stopped making noise. My cat, who had started to use it for a water bowl, was super bummed, as was I. So, I did what any good cat mom would do and ordered another. It, too, was super noisy, but this time the noise didn’t go away. It just kept getting louder. So, I ordered a replacement and IT DOESN’T WORK AT ALL! I’m giving up and ordering a different fountain. NOTE: If you do get this fountain, make sure to clean it and the rocks weekly and use only filtered water. It get slimy.UPDATE: Right about the time I hit “Submit” on the review below, the fountain stopped making the mechanical noise, sorta like my refrigerator that only makes ice when I threaten to pick up a bag. Plus, my cat and the fountain have bonded, so I no longer want to return it. It is very pretty. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the need for it to have some padding underneath it. I used 4 round sticky felt discs, but I sorta feel like if cushion is needed like in a lot of the reviews, the fountain should come with them. If the discs hadn’t already been present in my house, I likely would have returned it.PREVIOUS REVIEW: I’ve had this fountain for less than 2 days and am going to return it. While made of cheap plastic parts, it does look very pretty, albeit short on rocks. The problem is with the sound and lighting. If the fountain is at eye-level, which mine is on my desk, the top light shines like a supernova right at your corneas. I had planned to put a dab of black acrylic paint on the portion of the top light that was blinding me while I worked but was using a small piece of electrical tape in the interim. But the noise then started. Upon putting it together, there was a shaking sound, which was corrected by attaching felt sticky discs to the bottom. However, now there is a mechanical noise that was initially corrected by turning it on and off but now seems to be constant. I’m not one to accept defeat, but alas, I can battle with this fountain no more and am going to have to dry it out and send it back. Super bummed.

Update.
The media could not be loaded.
OK so I had previously written a terrible review after like a week of having the fountain and due to similar posts or comments here you know the water was splashing it kind of leaves so it freaked me out and I wrote the review out of frustration, but I really liked the design of the fountain and I actually enjoyed the level of noise coming from it because some people like it really loud I just like it relaxing in the background I don’t need it to be like a waterfall lol.. but I decided to tweak a couple things and I just sort of adjusted the cable I kind of moved it around and adjusted it and it just stopped leaking! And knock on wood it has been cruising ever since. I did read a review about cleaning the rocks that’s a brilliant idea I did not do that however I would highly recommend doing that I mean you can pick up these rocks literally at the dollar tree just make sure you clean them so it doesn’t clog it up. Now I will say I did not clean my rocks ahead of time and mine is OK but I still would recommend it, I also use regular clean water which I think it says in the instructions but it does look feel and I’m sure smell better. Also, One other thing if you hear the motor that sounds like it’s kind of loud it’s because the waterline is not filled enough. I noticed that filling it all the way up to the top is not a great idea but filling it too low it’s also not a great idea so you just want to keep it like 3/4 of the way or maybe even a little less than 3/4 of the way and it runs smoothly 👌🏻And if that doesn’t work Amazon customer service is phenomenal they actually sent me another fountain while I still had this one so I could play around with it and see if it adjusted itself, as well as comparing the new one if not and having them both there to compare so I could return whichever one I didn’t want. And they give you plenty of time to return it just don’t forget to return it within that timeframe because you will be charged for another fountain.

Good product but lights stop working
This is a fairly good product and I have bought three (3) of them but in less than a month the light for two (2) of them stopped working. The light is a good feature and I am disappointed that it stopped working so quickly despite me cleaning and maintaining it and keeping the water level satisfactory. The manufacturer needs to try and rectify these issues to have a more longer lasting product, other than the lighting defect this is a fairly good product.

Cute fountain
The media could not be loaded.
This is my second one and I really love it. This first one the light stopped working after about 4 months. My cats love it and would give 5 stars lol. I bought the small plants on Amazon as well just to add my own touch to it. There are several ways to personalize it. Hopefully this light don’t go out…if it does I’d most likely buy another one because it just brings so much zen to my bedroom.

Fast and easy
I’m always skeptical when I see decor for this cheap but this goes above and beyond for looks and function. Pump makes noise for aboutb45 seconds to a minute then goes completely silent. 100% would recommend if your reading this.

Maintenance Needed for Success
I am enjoying this tabletop fountain. There are reviews about noise. I followed the direction to pre-wash/rinse all parts that could take on water, including the rocks; only distilled water is being used; & the water level is being maintained to ensure that the motor remains below the water level.About 30 minutes or less the motor was heard when the fountain was initially used and has not been heard since — I’ve had the fountain for about a month now.I have noticed that when the unit is filled to the max water line, I do not hear trickling water (sad), but as the water dissolves, I hear it (nice). After filling to the max water line it is at least nice as a visual, and the bonus comes a few days later when I can see it and hear the trickling water.

Nice, but cheaply made
The media could not be loaded.
This was actually a great product really thought I was getting a good deal up until it came apart. The power cord seems cheaply made and after a month came apart. I Hope it was just my specific item that had this problem. Yet all in all I did like item and would possibly buy again, however if I have same issue will NEVER buy anything from them again because ultimately it is serious potential hazard.

Great Little Fountain and Excellent Value!
This is an attractive and functional little fountain and an excellent value as well. The fairly large number of negative reviews it has received seem to revolve around two issues. One is the plastic (and in the opinion of some, “cheap” looking) construction and the noise of the pump.First of all, regarding the plastic construction…this is a $20.00 pump (a great price for what you get by the way) and you are not going to get a fountain with copper and slate for that price. I did get a little bit concerned when I first opened the package, concerned that I might break it when I unpacked it if I weren`t careful. It had been very well packaged however and I Just made sure I was very careful when unpacking it. Once it was unpacked and set up however, I knew that I didn’t have to worry about the quality of its construction. Not only did it seem very sturdy when completely set up, I found it very attractive as well. The fact that it is plastic doesn’t detract from its appearance at all in my opinion.As far as the pump goes, when I first started up the fountain, I also felt that the pump was louder than it should be. I was able to adjust the sound of the water by experimenting with the placement of the pebbles in the base and on the 3 tiers however, and the sound of the pump is no longer a problem for me. I think the manufacturer of the pump would do well to add a section to the instruction manual to the effect that by experimenting with the placement of these stones, one can increase the sound of the water flowing to the point where it drowns out the sound of the pump.After having used the fountain for nearly a month now, I have discovered that the pump noise is EXTREMELY sensitive to the water level. It’s important to keep the amount of water right up to the fill line (which is small and difficult to find). If the water level starts to drop…even slightly….the pump noise will start increasing and continue to do so the farther the water level drops. If it gets too low, the pump can be damaged. On the other hand, if the water level is kept at the fill line, the pump noise should not be a problem for most people. Also, I found that in warm weather I have to add about 10-12 ounces of water daily to keep the water level at the fill line (your mileage may vary). This is not the fault of the pump, it’s just the way things work…in other words, normal evaporation.There is also a water flow control on the pump itself so that you can adjust the amount of water through the pump. You have to remove two screws and take out the pump to do this however and I haven`t found the need to change it so far. Another point about the pump noise is that I was really only aware of it when I was within 1-2 feet of the fountain itself (and I have good hearing). Most people aren’t going to notice the pump noise unless they are in an otherwise exceptionally quiet room and fairly close to the fountain. One last point about the fountain noise is that you need to keep the water level at the proper level. If it drops too much, the pump will become noisier but once the water level is restored the pump becomes quieter again.One of the biggest positives in my opinion is that this fountain uses low voltage DC current for the lights and submersible pump. I’ve always been concerned about indoor fountain submersible pumps which use 120V AC current. Any time household voltage electricity is used in or around water there is a hazard of electrical shock and/or fire. Low voltage reduces this risk to near zero.That is why most building codes these days require the use of a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) in certain household locations (i.e. bathroom, etc.) which will trip a circuit breaker and shut off the electricity if water has gotten into the connections somewhere and is causing potentially hazardous current leakage. You almost certainly have them in the electric wall outlets in your bathrooms (they have a red or black “reset” button between the two outlets) and possibly in your kitchen as well. You can also buy portable GFCI’s at your local hardware and Amazon also sells them (http://www.amazon.com/TRC-90265-6-012-Shockshield-Portable-Protection/dp/B000XU5MEG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342325556&sr=8-2&keywords=gfci). They plug into any wall outlet.Since this fountain is low voltage (as I mentioned previously) having a GFCI is not as critical. Still, it’s worth having one on it if you want an extra measure of safety or if you are concerned about any water making its way along the electrical cord and into the transformer/wall plug (not likely but still possible). If you have an indoor fountain with a 120V AC pump, you DEFINITELY need a GFCI in my opinion.Another point about this fountain is that mine HASN’T leaked at all. Also, if you inadvertently overfill the water level, such that it overflows the edges of the fountain it can create the appearance of leakage when in fact it is NOT leaking. Splashing over the edges of the fountain can be mistaken for leakage as well. I found that mine does splash a very, very slight amount (an almost imperceptible amount) but after all, it *IS* a fountain and that’s what fountains do!! Again, any splashing can be minimized by experimenting with the placement of the stones. Still it’s best to place it on a surface that cannot be damaged by water, such as Formica, tile, etc. You certainly aren’t going to want to place it on that antique solid cherry lamp table!I also like the placement of the LED lights. There are 3 of them and their placement is well thought out. One is just inside the very top of the fountain where the water streams out. Because the LED is amber, it creates the appearance of dancing water at the top of the fountain. It also can appear to be candlelight. I have also mistaken it for the flame of a candle many times because of this same lighting effect but I consider that a positive.There are two more amber LEDs, one which illuminates the middle tier and the last one which illuminates the bottom tier. Some may find the lower two LEDs too bright but you can easily use a small piece of dark tape to direct the light downward instead of outward. I haven’t found that to be a problem however. Overall, the lighting is very attractive, particularly for a fountain in this price range. You can spend $100-$200 or more for a fountain and get only one LED that shines down from its top however this fountain’s lighting is far superior.Regarding the sound of the water, it is quite audible and can be heard some distance from the fountain, about 10-12 feet or so. Still, it is not a large stream of water….about what you would get if you let a faucet partly open. It is very relaxing and satisfying however, but if you are looking for a more powerful water sound, you will need to spend more and get a larger fountain.The fountain is very aesthetically pleasing, not only from the sound of the water flow but visually as well. It is also versatile. In addition to being a display fountain, it can also be used as a night light and a cat drinking fountain! As long as your expectations are properly set regarding it, (i.e. don’t expect copper and slate for that price and understand that so far, even the very best electric submersible pump is going to make sound that is at least slightly noticeable if you pay close enough attention to it). I like mine so much that I am ordering several more.PROs — Very Attractive Looking- Low Price, Excellent Value- Operates on Low Voltage DC Ccurrent- Relaxing Water Flowing Sound- Well Placed, Well Thought Out Multiple LED lighting- Power ON/OFF switch on line cordCONS — NONE – changed from NONE to Stopped Working Properly after little over 1 month.UPDATE – 08/21/12I have had this fountain in service just slightly over one month now. About a week ago, one of the 3 LED lamps in the fountain stopped working and there appears to be no way to repair since it is imbedded in the plastic structure of the fountain. A few days ago, the second of the three lamps stopped working as well. Right now, only one of the three lamps continues to work properly. It is now past the return window with Amazon so I cannot return it or receive a refund for defective merchandise. I am continuing to attempt to get Amazon or the product manufacturer to refund my money.Also, Amazon’s policy on reviews does not allow a change in the rating originally provided at the top of the review otherwiseI would be lowering the rating on this item to at least 3 stars.UPDATE #2 – 09/18/12After not all that much pressure on my part, Homedics, the manufacturer of this fountain agreed on August 30, 2012 to replace the fountain if I returned the defective fountain to them using their prepaid shipping label (no cost to me). I had sent emails which were not quickly answered but contacting them by phone seemed to be the ticket to getting the replacement. I received the replacement fountain via UPS today so I guess we will now see if the replacement fountain lights work any better than the ones on the original one. I will update this review again after a reasonable time to report how the replacement fared.

HOW TO MAKE THIS FOUNTAIN RUN SILENTLY (except for the water trickle sound)
To be honest, I always second guess myself when I read one star reviews on here. I really rely heavily on the advice of counsel when making my decisions, and sometimes that really works against me. Often times I’ll find a product that has 70% or higher 5 star reviews, but even three one star write ups can make me doubt everything I’ve ever considered buying on this site.The same would have gone for this fountain. Except, the critical difference was that I didn’t look at the reviews and I didn’t buy it. Browsing on the site one day to fill up my wish list for my birthday, I decided that a fountain would be JUST the accent piece that my room needed. So when I saw the look of this one, I was instantly sold! Amidst doing other things, I didn’t want to lose track of this item, so I added it to my list to look into again later. Well, long story short I forgot. And when my birthday came around and I unwrapped it, I was both happily surprised and terrified. I would feel so bad if my family and spent the $20 and it didn’t work, and when I saw all the one star reviews on amazon my panic only worsened.Either way I set it up that day and turned it on, and at first it was great. But within twenty minutes the motor of the little fountain was louder than my ceiling fan! I was so disheartened thinking that I wouldn’t ever use this fountain as I was breaking down the box, when lo and behold, a small slip of white paper fell out.It was a note from the manufacturer, and it stated that you needed to first THOROUGHLY CLEAN the rocks provided and to use filtered water when running the fountain. Thinking that I had nothing to lose I tried it out. So I took out the rocks and cleaned them, and I cleaned the fountain itself too, and I boiled some water on my stove. After letting the water cool and the rocks dry I put the fountain back together, put in the rocks and poured in the water.Turning it on I waited, hearing the motor sputter a bit before it went silent. I couldn’t believe that it worked so well and so fast, but it has been a week now and I’ve been waiting for the motor to get loud again ever since! So far it’s been ideal, and I just make sure to refill it when its low with purified water and I haven’t had a single issue at all.I don’t know if this will work for everyone, and I know that this problem wasn’t what others had faced (like cracked plastic bases, dead led lights, and leaking) but it has solved one of the most complained about problems– the unwanted nosies– for me!Sorry about the long winded review, but I hope that if you took the time to read it that it will help you get the most out of your purchase like I am. Ever since the problem was fixed I’ve been in LOVE with this fountain!

Works as expected
Markers in picture to show size.Set mine up with shell pieces instead of included rocks. Liked the look of the shells much better. Sound from the fountain is very minimal. Would not recommend if sound of falling water is a main reason to purchase, but aesthetically the fountain is pleasing. Good size for table top. Easy to set up. Works as expected.

No calming water sound.
This product is small, which is OK for a desk. There is assembly. The assembly takes about 15 minutes. It’s pretty, but I wanted to hear a calming water sound. There is no sound at all. Some people might like that fact you also don’t hear the pump.

Wonderful fountain. I bought this as a gift for my mother. She loves to hear running water. Installation is very easy but you must set the stones in a good location to allow the water to make sounds. Otherwise the flow of water would be nearly silent. Great product and my mom loves it

Make sure to clean your rocks and use distilled water in the machine!
The media could not be loaded.
Absolutely adore this fountain! I did find it cheaper elsewhere, but my sweet mother found this item on here for me and nabbed it as a gift. I made sure before use to clean off the main fountain bits and to also clean the rocks. I have been using only distilled water in it. I do find I have to add water rather frequently, but I’ve been running a heater and its been the same with my humidifier. I clean it and the rocks on a weekly, to biweekly, basis. Came with rocks, but I wanted the lower bit to be more full, so I also added in my own stones. Very calming, especially at night, I have it by my bedside. Does occasionally have a louder noise from the pump, but I find it’s because its getting dirty, the cord is disturbed from its slot, or the water is low, to be the cause. My cat was a bit miffed about it in the beginning since its by her prior sleeping spot, but she’s been resting in the spot again lol. I pretty much have it going nonstop. Trickling sounds are louder in person than on video. I have had no splashing unless moving the machine or me spilling water when filling as evidence by my dissolving salt rocks lol. Def smaller than my mom thought it was going to be, she scoffed at the sight of it when she saw I’d set it up, but I’d already seen review images of this item so I was happy none the less! I took 1 star off just because it’s cheaper elsewhere.

GREAT FOUNTAIN!
This fountain is really amazing, pump is very quiet and all you can hear is the nice trickle. At first I put the maximum water amount into the vase and it did not make much of a trickle noise. After dumping a little bit out it made the perfect amount of trickle noise for me! I put this in my bedroom and it looks very nice with the accent lighting. I hope the pump holds up for a long time, but overall I 100% recommend.

Perfect for my office
I decided I wanted some light noise in my office and wanted it to feel more soothing and welcoming, so I set my eyes on a small fountain.It suggests cleaning it out a little more often than I’ll probably do, but so far so good. I refill the water daily or every other day and I don’t notice much annoying humming or anything, just the expected water trickling.Putting it together wasn’t bad, took like 5-10 minutes. It’s cute and a nice size for a table top or office desk.

Perfect Tabletop Fountain!
I bought this fountain for my Panic/Anxiety Group meeting as I was presenting on how water plays a part in our stress relief. When I first plugged it in (for a trial run) it was a bit noisy, but then as the pump worked, it quieted right down. The next day in class, it worked like a charm. It was just what I wanted for the class and I’ve placed it in my sunroom for summertime relaxation as well.

Mediation Therapy Addition
Hey Hey Fellow Customers :)Honestly, I came across this mediation spa foundation (that’s what I am calling it, don’t judge) by accident. I had been severely sick and stressed out and my coworker gifted me with some money to refocus on getting better. So I said hmm let me look for something that would help with positive energy, relaxation, spa like vibe. And I searched up “mediation therapy” and this is one of many things that came up. I always loved the visual appear of the foundation, the sound, and visual trips I picture myself taking when I close my eyes.It was originally $29.00 and after maybe a week it went down to $20.00 so I decided purchase it.I got it on 4/18 and started using it 4/19 and It has yet to run out of water however it reminds me of oil diffuser meaning while using the water vapors into the air in the past 2 days I want to say. If it’s not suppose to do that then I honestly don’t know. It’s not making no mess on my dresser and it compliments my oil diffuser I have so I am in love with blend. I decided to treat myself to everyday vacation at the Spa when I walk into my bedroom.I would be honest some nights I don’t use it because it can be a bit loud maybe I need to readjust the rocks so the sounds is a bit more balance. Or because I have a lot of space in my bedroom that could be why it’s loud I have no clue.I would gift this to someone the price is reasonable in my opinion and I look at this as addition to someone who needs this for aromatherapy, mediation, or overall mental health practices. I wouldn’t recommend this for a young child’s bedroom under the age 10 however I saw great other alternatives similar to this one.My apologies for the thesis statement but this is my first time writing a review and wanted to share my honest feedback.Many blessings and positive vibes :). **Hope the photos helped** Side note: ¥Oil Diffuser is by Blue Hills ( my personal favorite, each room as one lol).Now Essential Oils (I stick with the basics fragrances: Peppermint, Lavender, and Eucalyptus)

Presentation, function, is a plus.
Presentation, function, area of display and originally are of great interest to many visitors and corporate- employees, love it and love the display. So, two thumbs up from the public.The downside it was working fine since February /23, now none of 3-tier design; unique lighting feature works, the fountain runs the water fine but no lighting. so, after 4 month the lights decided to completely shut off. :(. now I have to buy another with the hope it last more than 4-month lighting.

It looks pretty and have a soothing sound. I bought this to have a waterfalls decoration for the south side of our house. I rate it 4 stars because made in plastic but it does the purpose of waterfalls that I want.

Great Product!
The media could not be loaded.
I bought this several weeks ago. I wanted to wait for awhile since most of the negative reviews mention noise level after some use. I use mine multiple hours a day, sometimes up to eight. As you can see in the video I attached, it’s not very loud. This product is a five star product in my opinion. But if you’re like me, its four star rating and countless negative reviews caused some hesiitation. Hopefully, this review will help you make an informed decision.By far the most common complaint concerning this product is the noise level. If you’re extremely careful with maintenance, i.e. changing the water EVERY day, only using distilled water, making sure the water level is high enough to keep the pump underwater, clean the rocks, etc., it will not become noisy. Noise will not rise above the soothing, ambient sound of a waterfall I assume attracted you to this product.The second biggest theme I saw in negative reviews was criticism of its cheaply made parts. I think this is a good thing. Since you need to empty the water daily, you don’t have to worry about damaging expensive parts. Plus, its price point is so low because of the cheaply made materials. You get an item that looks like it could be $$$$, and you paid next to nothing for it. Which brings me to my final point.I’m a prime member. My job rewards us with bonuses I redeem in the form of amazon gift cards. So, most of the Amazon products I have didn’t cost me much. But, some did. My point is I have a lot of stuff from Amazon. Out of all of it, this is the coolest. Its relaxation-inducing sound, the conversation-starting appearance, the way it compliments everything around it, everything about it is amazing. It requires a ton of maintenance to run properly. But, if you decide to buy this, I don’t think you’ll regret it.

Beautiful product but splashes:(
it’s a very beautiful product and pretty easy to assemble and a great touch to any room but sadly any time i have it running the water tends to splash off of the plates and splatter around the waterfall on to my desk which is kind of dangerous bc you need to have it plugged in meaning that water is gna be splashing by a outlet. also i thought the plates were metal and a study material but they are a plastic sprayed painted silver. still a beautiful product and i like it a lot just a couple down falls sadly 🙁

Algae cleaning filter is a lie
I bought one last year around October and it wasn’t working by January. There is constant algae build up which in turn requires constant cleaning. I’ve since thrown the device away but I read online to mix vinegar in the water to keep algae from building up.

Solid option for the $

Good fountain. Keep in mind that it is plastic. I gave it a 4 star because I felt like to really get to that 5th star I wanted a little thicker plastic. Had it for about a month now and still working great.

Nice Gift
Bought it for wifey, she loves it. The only I have to say about it, that it has to be plug up. So it’s hard to make it a center piece.

I love it

it is small and light. It’s plastic but looks like metal. I really like how it reflects the light and the sound of the water is relaxing. as you place the stones it will be more or less the sound of water.

Great Device – Best Bang for the Buck!
UPDATE: We had a power surge which toasted a couple of my fountains. Even though this has a few issues (the lights also went out in the last one before the surge) I still love the size and quiet sound (until the motor goes…lol). For $20 even once a year, not a bad investment. I do clean it out regularly and have found a product to keep the crud from forming.====================================================================================================I have owned this fountain for 5 years and it was the first tabletop fountain I have owned. I did not buy this fountain from this seller but I have the main issue is clogging from algae and only because I did not have a clue about the best way to keep table top fountains functional. Otherwise for $20 you really can’t beat the durability or the lovely sound of water running.If you use regular tap water, it will develop algae and will eventually clog up the vents in the motor. You’ll know you have this problem if you see slimy and/or dark matter in your water. Just rinsing won’t do much. Eventually they will become unsightly and clog the pump. If the water flow in your fountain slows down, it is time to clean the pump. If you allow the pump to become so clogged that it cannot pump any water, it may overheat and then you get to buy a new pump. Typically you should clean an untreated fountain every two to three months. More often if slowing of the pump indicates to you that it is time. To keep it clean, it’s best to use distilled water. It’s cheap enough and if you have a dehumidifier, the water in the tank is distilled so you can recycle it in your fountain. Don’t use bleach in the water to keep it clean. Use Fountec which can be purchased in a small container here on Amazon and will last you forever.It’s fairly simple to clean the algae if you already have this problem. There are two TINY screws that hold the back section in place. If you remove those with a eyeglass screwdriver, you can then easily clean out the fountain and the motor. You’ll need to carefully clean out the tall section tube which brings the water from the pump. Clean everything with vinegar. Keep flushing till water runs clear. There is a vent on the motor which controls the flow of water which is set by the manufacturer. But you can slide it back and forth to clear out any algae that is sticking to it. If you have a hose sprayer on your kitchen faucet, this works well to force it all out.Eventually the motor will go and I now need to get another. Since I’ve had mine for 5 years, I’d say I’ve gotten my money’s worth!

So far, so great!
The product was pretty cheap, easy to put together, is quiet and looks great.There have been no downsides yet, but I’m somewhat concerned about necessary maintenance in the future.

Very nice
I like this fountain because it is very quiet, with almost no motor noise and just light water noise. It is very pleasant and relaxing. It was easy to put together and adjust so the water runs down properly. Just make sure to add water every other day and clean it out regularily. It is easy to do, just take off the rocks, rinse, and wipe it out. I have had table fountains before and this is the quietest and prettiest.
