Gets dirty easily
I would honestly suggest to add a small amount of bleach to the water almost to keep it like pool water. The noise is nice you can’t hear the motor, and it was easy to assemble and you can add whatever rocks you’d like, I added crystals to mine. And so far it performs well after cleaning it the first time but now with the bleach it runs smoothly, and looks amazing

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.

Fountain
Absolutely love this fountain, one has to set it up so that you get the leaves fixed correctly, with the stones, takes a little bit to make sure the leaves are in a direct position so water stays in the set up, and does not leak out, and the stones are put in so that nothing sloshes, also to note getting water at the correct level to keep it almost silent, and running. Once that’s done, it’s wonderful. I did add a bit of water after 2 weeks as the level went low. It’s a lovely piece, looks great, no complaints..

Quiet… almost too quiet?
Don’t misinterpret my headline, I actually do like it, however, it’s very quiet… you can’t hear the pump, which is great, but you barely hear the sound of the water either, even with the fan off (are there soundless fans out there yet?) I wasn’t expecting Niagara Falls mind you, maybe more of a ‘babbling brook’ experience as opposed to the occasional very low trickling sound… I suppose I could load up a sound effect and have it playing throughout the day while the Fountain operates… hmmmm, on a serious note that might just work! It’s all plastic but well made so that’s not a deal breaker, and it compliments my predominantly black desktop decor quite nicely. IMO, one nice addition would be an underwater light in the water receptacle but, otherwise, well done.

Gotta keep the water clean
Water will become stale with bacteria if you don’t change it out or keep it sanitized. I spray Lysol disinfectant in the water every other day to keep bacteria from accumulating.

Very quiet
The media could not be loaded.
I got the pump and washed the stones as suggested. There was quite a bit of dust on them so I highly recommend not skipping that step. Instructions were pretty easy to follow. The metal looking plates are nor metal, just spray painted plastic to look metal which makes sense. Price would be much higher for something that would resists rusting. I also wiped down all the other parts and it is surprisingly quiet. I had to adjust rock placement to actually hear any water. Also the fill line is quite high so there is not much noise from the water splashing into the bowl below. It is pretty though and I think I will keep it. Perhaps if I remove a little water I will get a bit more sound.

Arrived broken also it’s plastic
Initial review up top with update belowThis arrived today with one of the holes where one of the levels goes into broken. I had to buy super glue to try to fix it. I tried to do a return for a replacement but it said I couldn’t so hopefully the super glue works .although I don’t know if it will be safe around my budgies with the super glue used to fix itnow. Assuming the super glue even fixes it but only time will tell. So for those reasons I gave it two Stars.Update: I am still upset that it arrived broken . once I bought super glue and glued the broken piece in place let it dry and got everything on and filled up with water it works pretty nice. So I’m going up from two stars to 3 stars maybe even four because I do like it my parakeets aren’t too fond of it right now though so I have to put it in a different room until they can get used to it being around

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.

Nice little fountain for the price until it started leaking after 2 weeks!! DESIGN FLAW!! BUYER BEWARE!!!
Yes, it is made of plastic & the parts may look cheap when you look at them individually, but once it is assembled & operating, it is quite charming. For $20 I think it is a bargain. I had another $20 HoMedics fountain that lasted about 5 years. My cat drank from it & was quite upset when it no longer worked. I primarily bought this for the cat to drink from as he has not liked any of the fountains designed for pets. Also, they all are priced way too high in my opinion & are not very attractive. I placed it on a black dinner plate to catch any leakage (none so far) & sat it on the bottom level of my foyer table where the previous fountain was located. It actually looks really nice on the black plate. The square fountain base is a nice contrast to the round dinner plate. I cannot hear the pump running & it does not splash too loudly. You can manage the level of water noise by how the rocks are placed & it will also control the amount of water splashing. I used distilled water as I have very hard water. Distilled water will increase the life of the pump versus tap water. Overall, the cat & I are both very pleased with the $20 fountain. I do not find the light to be too harsh, it has a nice warm glow. It was very easy to assemble. I added some of my own rocks from my previous fountain purely due to decorative purposes. It came with an adequate amount of small rocks. I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with the fountain. I will probably order another one to place in my bedroom because I like it so much. It is well worth the $20 price. UPDATE: After approx 2 weeks of use, fountain started making grinding noise & leaked water all over the place. I had it on a black dish, but it overflowed the dish. Water was leaking from the bottom of the fountain bowl where the cord exits. Fountain was almost dry which caused the motor noise. Would have ruined my wood foyer table if I had not caught the leakage in time. Fountain performed flawlessly until it just started to leak. Can’t trust this fountain. I had cleaned the fountain at least once after a week & used distilled water. No reason for fountain to leak except design flaw of placing cord exit in bottom of fountain bowl. The water was not flowing over from the top as I had just checked the fountain a few hours previously when I turned it on that AM. The water level was not too high & no water was leaking over the edge. DON’T BUY AS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHEN OR IF IT MAY START LEAKING! Very disappointed as I really liked the fountain. Returning for a refund. I am giving up on fountains after this disaster.

Very nice small fountain
Perfect for a bedroom. The lighting is nice and not too bright and the water sound is soothing. It’s a little delicate so you have to be careful putting it together. And it’s small but small is what I wanted! I added some crystals to the bowls and a small plant and it looks beautiful. You DO have to add water just about daily as is recommended by the manufacturers. Very good value for the price.

LOVE THIS FOUNTAIN
I LOVE TO HAVE A WATER FOUNTAIN IN MY HOME. IT IS VERY COMFORTING. THIS WATER FOUNTAIN IS WELL MADE AND LOOKS GREAT. IT WAS EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. WHEN TURNED ON IT LOOKS WONDERFUL. THE SMALL LIGHTS REALLY MAKE IT EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL. THEY INSTRUCTIONS SAY IT COULD BE NOISY BUT I DID NOT FIND THIS WITH MINE. I ADDED A FEW OF THE STONES TAT COME WITH THE FOUNTAIN TO MAKE ADDTIIONAL PATHWAYS FOR THE WATER TO FLOW FROM ONE LEVEL TO THE NEXT. IT SPLASHED A WEE BIT AT FIRST BUT SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TRAYS QUICKLY FIXED IT, I LOVE TO WATCH IT AT NIGHT WITH THE LIGHTS OUT. BEAUTIFUL FOUNTAIN, BEAUTIFULLY MADE, LOVELY TO LOOK AT AND WE ARE DELIGHTED WITH IT ALL AROUND. BUY ONE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

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.

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.

I got it for myself as a desk curio
It makes for a little peace of mind on my work desk. It works fine out of the box and just goes good with the ambiance. I think it’s worth it if you have the ideal workspace environment. I got this for my home office. It was worth it and it doesn’t make a mess.

Pretty, but the pump is terrible!
This fountain has some good points and some bad points.Its good points are mainly aesthetic. It’s a pretty little thing, comes with a good number of attractive pebbles, and you can adjust the water sounds by changing the pebbles around. The orange lights are a little bright for me, but in a dark room they make a nice pattern on the ceiling, and you could tape over them if you wanted them off.The whole thing is made from cheap plastic, and the back is unfinished, so it’s best up against a wall, but for the price, I still think it’s very attractive – I’ve had other fountains before, and everybody who saw this new one said “Wow! That’s nice!”It’s also small (a lot smaller than the measurements say! No dimension of this fountain is anywhere near 13 inches! It’s more like 9″ high X 8″ wide X 7” deep, to be generous), but I like that because it fits nicely on my desk where I can see and hear the gentle trickling water while I work.Now for the negatives:In a nut shell, the pump is rubbish.I see from the other reviews that some people have no trouble with the pump, and others find it intolerably loud – my guess is that this is simply because the pumps are badly manufactured and thus, inconsistent. You could be lucky and get one which works quietly and properly, or you could be unlucky like me, and get a pump which sounds like a coffee grinder.I keep a lot of aquarium fish, so I am used to submersible pumps, and honestly, the only kind of pump I would expect to make a noise that awful is one which is ten years old about to die! It was horrible! I have never seen a pump so bad!I cleaned it, I took it to pieces and lubricated the turbine – everything, but it was hopeless! I could not stop it from rattling, so eventually I cut the wires which held it into the fountain, sealed them over, and installed a cheap Jebao brand pump (under $20), which, by the way, purrs away silently and is perfect.Unfortunately, since the lights are (bizarrely) wired in through the pump, the lights on my fountain no longer work, but this isn’t a problem for me, since I bought the fountain for the sound.NOTE TO “INTERNATIONAL” BUYERS: A problem that you might not expect is that, even though Amazon ships this fountain to various countries, they ship it with an American power supply! I live in Australia, so I had to buy a new power supply with an Australian plug and 240V transformer (I needn’t have bothered, though, since I can’t use the original pump anyway, and my replacement has its own plug).I love this little fountain now, but unmodified, I would have had to chuck it out!

Exceptional…I’ve purchased four!
When I say I love this little powerhouse fountain, I truly do love it! I purchased my first one a couples of years ago and I fell in love with it. For it to be so small, it has great flow and you can hear it even in a larger room. I have one in my living room, one in my bathroom and I just purchased two more because I want to put one on my desk at work and the other will be for my bedroom. You do have to be careful when you are putting it together because it is delicate but once it’s in there, it’s in there and you don’t have to worry. If you find that it’s not trickling/flowing like you want, just moving the rocks around a little will cause it to flow differently and it makes all the difference. It takes up very little space on any surface and anytime someone comes over and is sitting in the living room, they ask me if there is a fountain around, because it’s not very visible and once I tell them yes, they say they can sit and listen to that sound all day. There are some fountains that just sound like an annoying draining, but this isn’t like that. It does feel like you are listening to a big fountain or sitting near a natural water source and the light at the top is just the cherry on top. Assembly is super easy. My home runs off of well water, so I do find that i need to clean the fountain from time to time, but even that’s easy. Just remove the rocks, clean with a bit of dish liquid and it’s good to go. If you are looking for something that you want to hear from every room in the house, then this isn’t the fountain for you, but I highly recommend this fountain if you are looking for something small with a big impact.

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!

Not Quiet, Contrary to Description
Description reads, “Quiet, built-in, submersible pump automatically circulates the water, keeping it free of algae buildup.” This is false. I set my fountain up exactly according to the instructions, and it’s been running less than a day; it will be quiet for a little while and then the pump gets loud for a few minutes and back to quiet. I think for the price, it is a decent fountain, but I am a little disappointed with the pump/noise.

Looks Good
This product adds a great visual to a room, but if you are looking for a water sound then this won’t be your product. This product is quiet, except for the slightest hum of the pump and that is minimal. You also have to change the water out every week or the plastic gets a slimy feel to it, which can be a pain as you have to rinse the rocks too.

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.

Nice little unit
This thing is pretty cool, has a great, warm feel with a glowing ,but subtle light and just a soft , relaxing sound and visual of the waterfall. I would recommend this product.

Easy setup, soothing ambience
I like that it’s easy to set up and get flowing, the greenish yellow light creates a nice night light vibe. The rocks that come with it will dirty up the water over time, so I’d suggest topping of water once a week, and dump out old water every month or so. Nonetheless you c an use it without the rocks 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)

Water fountain – Homedics
The instructions were not very clear on how to put it together, so it was just trial and error, not too time-consuming.

Love the looks !!!!
This was easy to put together and looks great. Now if I can find something to put in it where the water comes down so it doesn’t splash water all around it.

Cheap but visually effective
It is completely made of plastic but has made it through a summer in my sunroom with no noticable degradation. Love the subtle water noise during meditation and the lights at a nice ambiance in the evening.

Simple and sweet
I’ve only had it for a couple days so I can’t speak to the longevity. But if you’re looking for a small, simple tabletop fountain this works. As others have mentioned, the water runs so smoothly you can’t really hear it trickle. But I was able to arrange the stones in a way that gives a little bit of a water trickling sound so that’s been nice. The LED lights under each bowl are a nice touch too. Overall happy with my purchase

Nice product
This is a nice product that worked well as a gift for my son. Makes a soothing noise, but not too loud. Gives off some nice subtle light as ambiance. My son added a little essential oil to double as a diffuser. Overall very pleased!

Looks amazing, works very well. My only complaint is the cord should be a little longer but other than that it’s great.

Nice little fountain but it splatters water.
I really like this liitle fountain. Works very well, but it’s frustrainting because it splatters water on my desk. I have to keep paper towels handy to dry my desk off. Other that that its very nice.

Love it!!!
I love my waterfall! It fits my decor perfectly! It’s actually really quite. I’d purchased several others over the years and stopped using them because of the loud pump. This one is by far, the best I’ve ever owned. Definitely worth it and I give it 5 STARS!!
The case went beyond my expectations! Great color! –

I like the fountain itself, but the motor is a little loud though.
