Beautiful fountain! Adjustable speed on the pump. If splashes, you can squeeze the beak to make the flow less, and bend the lily pads/leaves slightly. I have it just trickling down off the lily pads/leaves. I’m also happy, because the squirrels in our garden can’t drown in the tub that the fountain sits in! I fill the tub every three days (direct sun evaporates the water). The birds are sitting on the lily pads and drinking ithe water as it cascades down.
