Alpine Corporation 43″ Tall Multi-Tier Waterfall Fountain – Industrial Style Water Feature for Garden, Patio, Yard, Backyard, Relaxing Water Flow, and Serene Landscaping, Gray

Very nice overall with a few mentionables
I just got my fountain set up this weekend so here are a few thoughts in no specific order.1.) as soon as picked up the box it just felt very light based on what I was expecting for a fountain this tall. As I opened the box and pulled out the fountain I was a little put off by how very thin the metal is. Visually it doesn’t matter- it’s long term durability concerns if it starts rusting. Would not take much rust to completely eat away some of the panels.2.) Setup was easy. Took like 10 minutes start to finish. Only thing to be aware of is to make SURE you turn the pump all the way to LOWEST flow, and check it submerged in a kitchen sink or bucket to make sure which way you have turned the control on the pump. I turned it the way they wrote in the manual, and thought it was lowest so I was a little bummed when I first turned it on after setting everything up and filling it with water because water was splattering out onto the floor. Not a ton but enough to keep the area around the base completely soaked.I decided to check it again and turned the opposite direction and that made all the difference for the better. The flows on each tier are no perfectly smooth and almost no splashing. A few tiny droplets from time time time but since this is outside it’s not even really noticeable (it’s on a slate base beside my front door, outside).3.) As several have mentioned DO NOT REMOVE THOSE BLACK sponge looking baffles!!! They serve a purpose. With those in place the water come out in beautiful smooth sheets.4.) I added an led light strip to the back of it and it backlights the fountain in the alcove and does look pretty freaking spectacular (SEE VIDEO & PHOTO ATTACHED). If you get one I suggest no longer than 12 feet. I got a 16ft strip and had to double it around 2 passes up and down the back, but again, it looks great.It has a remote and can be set to almost any color you want using Red/Green/Blue adjustments on the remote. Pretty slick. I selected a deep blue & it looks like something you would see in a hotel on Miami Beach.I also got a submersible light with remote for charging colors.5.) Check prices!! I paid $474 for this fountain in Jun 2021, and as of today, Sep 20, 2021, I see its now just $304!! I would feel a lot better about this fountain at $300 vs $474, but still, It does look perfect for the space and if I get 3-4 years out of it I will be happy.Conclusion: Looks and operates great; slightly lightweight materials give me a little concern for durability. Overall very pleased now that I got the waterflow right! If you can get it close to the $340ish current price I would recommend it. Go for the backlights also!

For PERFECT fountain performance, DO THIS:
I’m not a VINE (whatever that is) or a paid reviewer.First and foremost: This is a fantastic fountain.Audio level:High pump setting: 67.0 dB avg (measured for 21 seconds while moving up/down tiers and maintaining a 2″ distance to the microphone. (equivalent to a normal conversation or quiet street)Water splash:Wind = splashes. No wind = sprinkles. Indoor installations should expect sprinkles on nearby objects. Outdoor installations should expect sprinkles and occasionally large splashes on nearby objects. The curtain of water will respond to the wind just like any other curtain in the wind.Here’s how I achieved the perfect performance:(Please read all products safety information)Levelness:The fountain should be level front/back/left/right. Using the following product worked perfectly.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BQW2TBVN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Power:Add a smart outlet. If you are using home automation, you can use the link below to find an appropriate outlet that can be used to power the pump and any added light accessories that can use 120vac.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BFGRY9C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1Safety:For outdoor installations, here’s a nice box that can be used for the plugs.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BFGRY9C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1THE STEP EVERYONE IS MISSING:Put a small drop or two of dishwasher rinse-aid on your index finger and smear a light film across each tier’s dried downspout (I just wiped it dry with a cloth). (I also rubbed my finger across the sponge for good measure)Results:This fountain has been running for 42 hours (14-hour intervals), and I have had NOT a single instance of the water curtain splitting, all while maintaining a consistent sound level and splash volume. (Tested at minimum and maximum pump settings)

Me gustó, obviamente la adorné con piedras naturales. Y se ve hermosa
