We ordered this fountain last summer and received it in the fall in time to set it up and use it for about a month before winterizing. We followed directions on completely drying and putting burlap in the basin before covering for the winter. However, when we set it up this spring it ran for a few weeks normally but now I have to fill it literally twice a day. My husband is in denial and tries to tell me it’s splashing or evaporating out but I’m talking about 10 plus gallons each time I fill it (basically refilling the entire bottom basin), so sadly I think it must have a leak or crack. We would absolutely love this fountain if it wasn’t losing water so quickly.
