8.3” High Tabletop Water Fountain with Rotating Crystal Ball and LED Light, Indoor Zen Waterfall Decor for Home Office Bedroom Meditation Relaxation

Due to my general fascination with water, I've owned a few of these tabletop fountain over the years. After operating this one for about a week, I can honestly say it's among the best. Now here's the good and the bad: 1. Ease of setup - Average. Not good or bad. Connecting wires and hoses, then filling the fountain with water - much the same as all of the other fountains I've owned. 2. Splashing. After a week of operation, there is no observable splashing. This is honestly the first fountain I've owned that has no significant water loss due to splashing. They've done a good job of porting the pools in a way to reduce or eliminate splashing in my opinion. 3. Lighting. Not super bright, nor too dim. The lights dance off the ceiling in the dark and provide a warm ambience that I enjoy. I believe they did a good job of lighting this fountain as I've seen others that were horribly bright. There isn't any adjustment, but you can always cover a portion of the LED bulbs in water resistant hobby paint to dim the lighting effect to your taste. 3. Pump noise. As I mentioned, I've owned a few of these, and Ive owned many aquariums, so I have a pretty good handle on how these small pumps work, and how to noise-isolate them. Make sure the pump is standing on its rubber feet in the bowl, and place the bowl on a towl to cushion the bowl. Ensure the pump is always completely submerged. Setting the switch for minimum water flow does not significantly slow the pump's internal operating speed. It only restricts the water flow. If you generally prefer quieter pump and water noise, purchase a pump with 40gph or less, and it should make a huge difference. Experiment with the fountain's location. Standing the fountain in a corner will tend to amplify the sound like a megaphone. There are techniques to reduce noise inside these pumps, but honestly, there are many compatible small pumps on Amazon selling for less than $10, and some that are designed to reduce pump noise. You don't need the aggravation, or the inherent hazard of working with electrical motors intended to be submerged in water, so just purchase a new one when the pump becomes too noisy. To me, the included pump is about average, noise-wise. 4. Water Noise. Most of the water sound in this fountain comes from the basin (bowl). Keep the water levels high inside the bowl if you want to quiet the sound. I personally like the sound. Generally speaking, fountains with fewer cascading levels and reduced height are quieter, but you can also add a few small pebbles or even a tiny piece of sponge in each pool to reduce the water noise. In summary, this is a great fountain and I'm so far very pleased!

Purchased this fountain to put on a small table in the living room. It is small but so cute. I put it in a flat glass dish and put small white pebbles around it after seeing someone had done that with a copper dish. It looks so good. Then I put little brass frogs and turtles in the rocks. They are so so cute. The noise is very quiet from the fountain so I placed a tiny sleep noisemaker near it and put it on the brook sound. Now it sounds perfect and my fountain scene is complete.

Great water fountain! Easy to put together, looks great, and beautiful, relaxing water sounds. The fountain comes with a round base, 3 led lights and the water falls in 5 different places. I set it inside a copper bowl I had with rocks and the pump on the highest setting as I love the water sounds. It’s in my kitchen plant window. Beautiful and relaxing!

Unpacking and setup: The initial setup was easy, but my fountain had apparently been sprayed with some kind of perfume. The smell was overpowering. I'm assuming it had been sprayed to try to mask the smell of the resin, but it was not executed well. Way too much, and the smell is just not pleasant to me. After unpacking I had to immediately rinse with warm water and scrub the entire thing with dish soap. It still smells, but seems to be dissipating as the days go by. I read a prior review that stated their fountain appeared to be used, because of discoloration in the plastic tubing. My tubing has discoloration as well, but I'm guessing it is because of the way the tubing was cut, or something that occurred during shipping. The tubing seems to work fine. Use: I've had my fountain in service for 1 week now. It takes about 1 gallon of water to fill the water basin. I used distilled water with a couple tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and it's been working well. After one week I had to add about a cup of water to replace loss to evaporation (I do live in a dry climate). I plan to change the water out monthly. I use a timer to turn the fountain on from 6am-10pm, and it works well. I've placed the fountain in my home office and it does create a nice ambiance. The water gurgling sound is perfect for one room. The LED lights are ok. Lights were not a requirement for me, and I'm indifferent on the lights included with this fountain. Conclusion: This fountain is a reasonable product for the cost. It fits nicely on a desktop, has a nice fountain sound, and looks nice. The perfume smell that was all over my fountain was unpleasant. I'll update if there are any problems with durability.

Bought for our zen den, it's perfect! Water flows well creating tranquil vibes and pretty lights on the walls

Beautiful, and the sound is so soothing, you can hear the trickle of water falling, but it is not too loud. PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

If you want it for the SOUND, it's just ok... maybe ok-minus... It's not as loud as I had hoped. I think their product video dubs in a babbling brook or something, because it is nowhere NEAR as loud as their video - which is the WHOLE reason I bought this fountain. I was hoping I could at least hear it throughout the main part of my house. It's pretty quiet; and forget about it if the heat turns on. Also, if you get up close, you can hear the hum of the pump - but it's not TOO bad. Note: You can't run the pump on low; it isn't powerful enough at that speed to get the water up the tube. To get the loudest water sound, it has to be on high. It IS pretty easy to assemble. However on mine, at first I couldn't get the LED light into the hole. I had to chip away a little of the glue that holds the rubber gasket to the fountain - away from the rubber, in order for the LED light to fit. Additionally, the smell of the resin is pretty strong. The whole room smells like resin (which is like super glue), which I'm hoping will dissipate after it airs out for a while. So - if you want a quiet fountain for your office desk - it's a nice fountain. If you want it for the loud fountain sound, you may be disappointed. Note: The LED light is white - it just looks blue on my video for some reason.

I love this little fountain. Super easy to set up and everyone comments about how much they like it. I added some decorative rocks to the bottom area and a little glass frog.
