I bought this ceramic fountain for my back patio. It is a lovely fountain...much nicer than others I found at my local garden stores for more money. The pump works well and the fountain is easy to clean because it is ceramic. I notice it does not get grungy as quickly as some fountains I have had in the past. I do put a little hydrogen peroxide in the water, which has made a difference in reducing algae growth, particularly in the summer. The glaze is lovely and very even and the color was very true to the photograph. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that after one month os use, the LED lights in the middle pot no longer work. Not a deal breaker, but a bit of a disappointment that they did not last longer. And, of course, they are integrated into the pot itself, so no way to replace it. Still, I am pleased with the fountain. It looks amazing and I have received many compliments from friends and family.
