Very happy with this fountain, the pump is silent and it arrived in two days in perfect condition. I haven't been so happy with a purchase in a long time. I'm glad I didn't cheap out and get a lesser product. I can't take my eyes off this thing. The sound of the water reminds me of a running stream. Not loud but soothing. The lighting is perfect at night. I put it on my deck and the shape of the back fits perfectly in the corner. Thanks Wayfair...
