This little fountain is very cute. Nice trickling water sound we wanted for our deck. The assembly is quite easy and has a nice large hole to put water in it. It’s heavy with water in it though, so I’d have it in place before you add water. Ordered some algae fountain stuff to add to it weekly so the water doesn’t get dirty as easily. Looks great at night with the LED lights. We never turn it off, as the instructions recommend not to turn it on and off repeatedly. All the electrical parts, along with the pump obviously, sit immersed inside the water basin, so make sure the seals are nice and tight, as the instructions say. It will be interesting to see how long those gasket seals last being constantly in the water. You will have to connect the power supply to the lights yourself, and they connect via a threaded connector with a plastic gasket seal. All around easy set up and the instructions are easy to follow. My only gripe is that even with the pump flow turned down to the lowest setting (pump flow is adjustable), a minuscule amount of water still splashes out as the water pours from the higher bowls to the lower one. Not nearly as much as with the pump flow on maximum, though. I anticipate possibly having to add water at some point. Then again, rain water could fall in it too. I would recommend this product if you want a nice decorative fountain for your backyard or patio.
