No Rainfall, No Relaxaton, June 16, 2007

We were looking for an indoor fountain with a different sound (rather than the usual waterfall gurgle) so we decided to try this rainfall fountain. We ended up returning it the next day. Here’s why:

First, the base reservoir is small and doesn’t hold much water. It requires constant monitoring to keep the pump adequately submerged.

Next, the pump attaches directly to the underside of the fountain’s top section. Since the pump isn’t isolated by a flexible piece of tubing (like with other fountains), it caused the lightweight assembly to vibrate. We could get it to stop, but not for long. The vibrating pump was louder than the dripping water.

Lastly, many of the rainfall holes would not allow any water through. We followed all of the cleaning and troubleshooting instructions (rinsing the fountain, wiping the top and bottom of each hole with a dry towel, filling the unit with distilled water and poking the holes with the included cleaning wire), but still didn’t experience the rainfall effect as depicted in the product photo. We imagine needing to repeat this cleaning regime quite often to keep it running.

Rain or Buzz?, September 13, 2006

This thing is a cheap piece of plastic, and for the same price you can get the larger, nice rock fountain that i have owned and know for a fact works well. I can hardly hear the sound of the rain over the whirring of the motor. It has a nice design in terms of look and it’s compact. I also enjoy the lights for ambiance. But for relaxation, this thing has brought me more grief in 3 days than it’s worth.
