Even on the lowest setting the water splashes out quite a bit.  I'm going to try to set it up on something.  Right now I have it setting on the patio and the water splashes on the pavement.  I'm not sure if the manufacturer uses too strong of a pump or what the problem is exactly.  Like I said, it splashes even at the lowest setting.  I did read that past reviews, some which suggested the same thing, so it was expected and not a big surprise.  If it weren't for the splashing, I'd rate it a full five stars.
