The fountain looks fabulous out by my pergola- the size is perfect!  The only question we had during assembly was about the filtered cover near the top of fountain. I didn’t think the black filter should show so we went to website to see other picture of assembly and realized it does.  Once we plugged everything in, we saw how nice the light looked shining through the filter.  I don’t have a problem hearing the water, but my husband does due to hearing loss in one ear.  So, he just needs to sit in other side if fountain. Lol   I’m sure we will enjoy it all summer.
