Customer Reviews: everyone loves itJuly 15, 2010 Joe Smith(Cape Cod MA USA) This was so affordable I was nervous... but it was easy to install and everyone really loves it. We got it before a barbecue and it really added a lot to the mood in the yard. We have an older in-ground pool. The fountain hooks up to one of your inlets where the filtered water comes back into the pool... instead of going straight into the pool, the water goes through a soft transparent hose that sits on the bottom when it is filled with water, and the water is ejected out through the fountain. It took us a couple of false starts to figure out which adaptor was the best one to use with our pool inlets, but we had it running in about 20 minutes. At first the water pressure from the inlet was not enough to raise the water up more than a few inches on the fountain, but we added one of the included caps on another inlet, and swapped a second inlet for a more restrictive exhaust, and that raised the pressure enough to bring the fountain up about two feet, which is perfect. The system they provide to moor it in place did not work for us (a flimsy cable tie that you are supposed to use to hang the included weight to the hose): the cable tie snapped immediately, so we ended up improvising a string from the hose fitting on the bottom of the fountain to the bottom weight, which has worked perfectly so far. Perhaps this was because we installed it in our deep end; the instructions recommend installing it in the shallow end, but we thought that was more likely for people to trip on and step on the soft hose, so we put it in the deep end, where the hose is totally out of the way on the bottom since you never walk on the bottom in the deep end :)
Poor QualityJuly 14, 2010 T. Ward(FPO, AE USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The fountain shows a picture of a large fountain. This thing only got to be about 6 inches high. The instructions are pitiful and not helpful. The tubing is cheap and caused my filter to start leaking. It went back promptly.
