Absolutely what I was looking for. Love it. It gives us the relaxing sounds of water on our back porch. I have it in the garden right outside our back porch. We really enjoy relaxing out there with the sound of water. I was looking for a fountain to go in the inside, but saw this type. Love it and I never have clean up water inside the porch from it splashing. It doesn't take up any room inside our porch either. Love it!
