So here is what I learned about this. It is a great fountain. However, if it is where the wind blows, water goes everywhere. in fact, enough that that water level can drop a couple inches in no time. Here is what I did. Got a piece of glass cut, had a hole put in it and had it tempered. Used framing clips to loosely hold to back. It is loose enough to slip out for cleaning. And last time I cleaned, applied a good amount of Rain-X. It works wonderfully now and very little water spillage. The pictures show it without the glass and then the glass in place.
Love this. Holds up the MN weather well. The only downfall is when there is a breeze. Because of the open back, it tends to waste a lot of water is there is any air movement outside.
Very easy to setup
Next day delivery
Looks quite good
I’ve still got to add lights and maybe some pebbles
I’ll update this review after it’s been running a few weeks
This water feature needs to be placed where the wind can’t get to it as the wind every wind blows the water all over the place but I think it is Good water feature
We are planning to build a little deck on the side of our house so we wanted to get a water feature. We looked at a few at local big box hardware stores and also smaller garden stores and they were EXPENSIVE. We found this one and it was even a little discounted so we figured we’d give it a try. We were SO pleasantly surprised. It has a lovely sound. We also like the simple, contemporary style. We ended up replacing the pump with a solar-powered one, which doesn’t have quite the same power as the electric one, but we are still very happy with the water flow volume and sound. One thing to note is that if it’s outside, the wind will blow the water out of the troughs, so you can’t put it anywhere that can’t get wet.
Bought mine as a Amazon Warehouse Return at discounted price. Arrived in better that advertised condition. Said medium scratches, but I couldn’t find any. Appeared brand new to me, box was a little damaged but that was all. Easy to assemble, instruction easy to follow. Little fiddly to get the wing nuts on but a little patience was all that was required.
Great Water feature when running. Looks and sounds fantastic. I added some Solar LED lights behind mine to give a nice look at night.
This fountain is an awesome addition to our roof deck in the city. It conceals a lot of noise and is aesthetically pleasing.
As far as the poor reviews regarding a lot of splashing, there are two important points:
1) DO NOT REMOVE THE BLACK MESH THAT APPEARS TO BE SHIPPING MATERIAL. I accidentally did this and it did result in a lot of splashing and an uneven flow. These pieces are there to help the water smoothly flow from one level to the next.
2) Adding some river rocks, especially to the top two tiers has helped make it flow much smoother as well.
After owning this for a year, I’m very satisfied and would certainly purchase if again!
We had a leak with our water feature and Alpine have been fantastic and are replacing it and not charging us for shipping, they have dealt with this within hours.
Definitely recommend them
I love this fountain, but when it is windy, it loses a lot of water! We retro fitted it with a piece of glass on the back, thanks to another reviewer, and that helped a lot. The sound level is medium to loud, which is what I wanted for traffic noise. When the wind blows, the water flow on the tiers gets messed up. I put some Vaseline on the edges to help with this issue. It is not perfect, but it did help some. I added some lights for at night. I would have given it five stars for how much I liked it but the water loss, no lights, and how much I had to mess with it cost it a star.
With the addition of some large white pebbles in each tray, the sound becomes just what we wanted: really pleased. Just one proviso: the installation manual does warn that small debris (leaves etc) can easily fall into the 3 tanks which may then reduce the pumps efficiency and require frequent cleaning; so, dear manufacturer, why not provide three water tank covers to be used when it is not in use? Surely most users turn off the feature when they are not actually in their gardens? We have made our own covers, using sheets of perspex cut to size. These have reduced evaporation, stopped the ingress of debris as well as keeping out the birds (especially the bird poo!). As a result, we have had no issue with pump clogging or with evaporation. So, when we are asked to pay a premium price (for an undoubtedly high quality product), why not provide for a few pence more, 3 simple lids that would solve the biggest problems recognised by the manufacturer?
I received this today and couldn’t wait to set it up, very easy to set up and seconds for the pump to begin and the amazing waterfall to circulate, the look of it is absolutely fabulous, the waterfall effect is out of this world, so soothing and relaxing, I know it might be a little expensive but I am so glad I purchased it, I have been looking at different ones for a while but I really liked this one so went ahead and thought sod it!!!!
Best thing I did I absolutely love i
Absolutely love this water feature! It isn’t made of cheap fake resin material made to look like something else, its actually a lovely zinc metal. It only took seconds to build as its just 4 fixings, 2 of which are fairly fiddly to attach, but nothing a little patience can’t solve. It has 3 falls of water so is a loud water feature, as opposed to the type where the water will silently slide down a surface etc. Which is just what we wanted. It’s big too, which is another feature we searched for, as we wanted to see the water feature and not just hear it. Supplied with a regular 3 pin uk plug on a sufficient length cable. Pump has various settings and is absolutely silent when fully submerged in the water. Highly recommend
This is worth every penny!
I didn’t figure it’d be so big!
The waterfall is gorgeous, BIG, and surprisingly quiet for its size. Everyone that sees it, compliments me. Only star I take off is because this should come with lights. I have a resin 36 inch version of this one and it looks great in day and awesome at night because it came with lights.
Warning: DO NOT have it outside, exposed to elements. This is thin tin and will rust easily. Mine hasn’t but, I know it will if kept outside because of another fountain I had on front door that was made with same material and within 5 months, it rusted.
I wanted a fairly noisy fountain and I’m glad to say this one delivers! Offers a lovely and loud pouring sound and looks stylish too. Easy to set up, not sure why other reviewers have left poor reviews based on this. Packaging was good. Wish it was a little cheaper, but realistically it’s what you’d likely pay at a garden centre. Overall, pleased I got this one over others I’d shortlisted.
