LOVE THIS FOUNTAIN.  I've been looking for a replacement for my old fountain that was falling apart and finally found this one.  I love the relaxing sound and the lights (which my old one didn't have).  I also like the fact that the base where the submersible pump sits holds several gallons of water.  In my old fountain, the bottom basin that held the pump only held a few inches of water and barely covered the pump.  My dogs drink out of the fountain, so I had to constantly fill the basin to keep the pump from running without adequate water which is what I think ultimately caused 2 pumps to fail.  It looks great with my composite redwood deck and fits in with my rustic country lifestyle.
