This fountain is super sweet but also a little finicky. The motor has to be cleaned every couple of weeks to purge the dirt and grime and algae otherwise the water won’t flow. It produces a lovely ambiance when operating at its full capacity but any sort of cloud cover will turn the fountain off when it’s on solar mode. The birds in my yard love playing in it but keeping it clean has been somewhat of a hassle. Still, I would recommend this fountain!
