I love the style of this water fountain, with the copper and natural stone. I added extra stones hand picked and washed well, from a local gravelpit. Used a stone walkway slab on the floor first, then set the fountain in a bootshoe tray on top. The fountain is pretty heavy, so make sure of your placement.  I used four water tratment humidifier cleaner drop ins, to keep the alge away. I prewashed the fountain inside with vinegar and water first. I add a gallon of water about every 4 days. Works great as a humidifier in these winter months, while the heat is on. I made a good choice ordering this from Wayfair.
