Fontaine à tasses à plusieurs niveaux en zinc

I love the level of sound this fountain makes. Not too much, but certainly enough water fall, to warrant the ambiance you want a fountain for in the first place! The motor isn't too distracting since the water fall is a bit louder than most fountains. The metal the fountain is made of is thin and subject to rusting EASILY. We got ours in the fall and only had it running for a couple of months before I felt I needed to paint the whole thing with Rustolium spray paint, to ensure there was enough paint on it to winter well. (I stored it in the garage all winter.) I am hopeful that the paint job I did, will buy us a few years of enjoyment before I need to paint it again. It looks classy, and sounds great, I just wish they still made things to last, like they cared that it shouldn't end up in a land fill.

I wanted to like this better than I do! I had the large metal stacked cups fountain (single stack rather than 3) for about 10 years and it finally wore out after almost 24/7 use. I decided to get this one as a replacement and it was very difficult to set up correctly! There is only one motor and three tubes, but the middle tube (for largest stack) is the shortest and right above the motor. When I put the water flow on full, the middle stack came out too strong and copious amounts of water splashed out and onto the floor. Since this is an indoor fountain, I had to remove all the water in the cups in order to change the water flow from the motor. (Top tip: I use a turkey baster to suck the water out of the cups.) This process is tedious! And, I had to change the water flow at least 5 times before I got the water to flow consistently to all three stacks and not spill. (On some tries, the middle stack would start but then water would stop flowing, other times, the 'secondary' water flow to the lower cup wouldn't flow at all - each time, needing to remove all water so that I could lift the top up in order to adjust the water flow, sometimes all three stacks were spitting water all over - big hassle and I almost gave up!) I finally got it all working - I think it needs a higher level of water in the basin and not full water flow on any of the tubes. After all of that, the sound isn't as nice as the tall one I had for many years. Also, there is no piece that lifts up from the base of the stacks, so no way to look inside to see how the high the water in the basin is. (Top tip: I made three marker lines on the inside of the basin near the corner with a silver sharpie so I can shine a light and see how high the water is so I know when to add more.). Finally, there is no hole in the basin for the cord, so it just has to hang over the back edge (the big one had a hole the cord went through). I put it on a large plastic pan with towels/rugs to make sure that the water that inevitably splashes doesn't soak into the carpet and cause water damage. All in all, I just don't like this one as much as I did the old one!

This item is a wonderful addition to our back yard. Love the sound!
