No pump sound. Love the water sound. Small and unobtrusive. Looks kind of cute with built-in light.

This is another great product from Homedics and nope, no one is lining my pockets. I had something similar years ago and forgot about it. This popped up and I perked up. Very nice fountain, not tiny, not huge. 6″×6″×8″ and it does have lights but my other light is what is changing colors.
Very relaxing and subtle. Even though it went on sale for half price the week after I bought it I refrained from that letting my vibes be affected. Treat your eyes and ears and relax your MOJO. Gr8 product, love it!
PS, had a really neat video cued up but permissions by the seller were denied. That’s a bummer, good PR lost on that decision.

This product adds a great visual to a room, but if you are looking for a water sound then this won’t be your product. This product is quiet, except for the slightest hum of the pump and that is minimal. You also have to change the water out every week or the plastic gets a slimy feel to it, which can be a pain as you have to rinse the rocks too.

To be honest, I always second guess myself when I read one star reviews on here. I really rely heavily on the advice of counsel when making my decisions, and sometimes that really works against me. Often times I’ll find a product that has 70% or higher 5 star reviews, but even three one star write ups can make me doubt everything I’ve ever considered buying on this site.
The same would have gone for this fountain. Except, the critical difference was that I didn’t look at the reviews and I didn’t buy it. Browsing on the site one day to fill up my wish list for my birthday, I decided that a fountain would be JUST the accent piece that my room needed. So when I saw the look of this one, I was instantly sold! Amidst doing other things, I didn’t want to lose track of this item, so I added it to my list to look into again later. Well, long story short I forgot. And when my birthday came around and I unwrapped it, I was both happily surprised and terrified. I would feel so bad if my family and spent the $20 and it didn’t work, and when I saw all the one star reviews on amazon my panic only worsened.
Either way I set it up that day and turned it on, and at first it was great. But within twenty minutes the motor of the little fountain was louder than my ceiling fan! I was so disheartened thinking that I wouldn’t ever use this fountain as I was breaking down the box, when lo and behold, a small slip of white paper fell out.
It was a note from the manufacturer, and it stated that you needed to first THOROUGHLY CLEAN the rocks provided and to use filtered water when running the fountain. Thinking that I had nothing to lose I tried it out. So I took out the rocks and cleaned them, and I cleaned the fountain itself too, and I boiled some water on my stove. After letting the water cool and the rocks dry I put the fountain back together, put in the rocks and poured in the water.
Turning it on I waited, hearing the motor sputter a bit before it went silent. I couldn’t believe that it worked so well and so fast, but it has been a week now and I’ve been waiting for the motor to get loud again ever since! So far it’s been ideal, and I just make sure to refill it when its low with purified water and I haven’t had a single issue at all.
I don’t know if this will work for everyone, and I know that this problem wasn’t what others had faced (like cracked plastic bases, dead led lights, and leaking) but it has solved one of the most complained about problems– the unwanted nosies– for me!
Sorry about the long winded review, but I hope that if you took the time to read it that it will help you get the most out of your purchase like I am. Ever since the problem was fixed I’ve been in LOVE with this fountain!
I love these shoes!!! Comfortable for walking and standing for long hours. Light weight and stylish. I got many compliments on there. I would recommend to any plant/warehouse worker. –
I keep it on my night stand. It helps me fall asleep at night. Very peaceful and esthetically pleasing. I recommend to anyone wanting to set a nice vibe to a room. Takes a little while to find the right water level and positioning of rocks to get the best sounds.

Purchased unit in May 2023 and is still running. Unit was very easy to assemble and is very quiet when pump is running. I use distilled water and clean the fountain monthly. I have to give the unit a 4 star rating due to the fact that the LED’s on the unit are no longer working. A little disappointed!!!! I hope nothing else goes wrong…

I’m inlove with this lil fountain, it’s absolutely perfect.
It is very very easy to put together straight out the box I didn’t even look at the instructions and was able to put it together in about 5 minutes. Bought this as a gift and they love it, the sound of the water is so calming. I’ve seen complaints about the motor being too noisy, and the reason for that is you did not add enough water to it people c’mon..
Hope this helps someone.
If you are thinking about it, then this is your sign to get you one. (ENJOY)
I’m about to order another one for myself lol

Beautiful little centre piece! Had it for a couple of months now and love it. Just remember to add water after a few days since it evaporates over time. The less water you have in the system, you will find the more noise it will make.

This is an attractive and functional little fountain and an excellent value as well. The fairly large number of negative reviews it has received seem to revolve around two issues. One is the plastic (and in the opinion of some, “cheap” looking) construction and the noise of the pump.
First of all, regarding the plastic construction…this is a $20.00 pump (a great price for what you get by the way) and you are not going to get a fountain with copper and slate for that price. I did get a little bit concerned when I first opened the package, concerned that I might break it when I unpacked it if I weren`t careful. It had been very well packaged however and I Just made sure I was very careful when unpacking it. Once it was unpacked and set up however, I knew that I didn’t have to worry about the quality of its construction. Not only did it seem very sturdy when completely set up, I found it very attractive as well. The fact that it is plastic doesn’t detract from its appearance at all in my opinion.
As far as the pump goes, when I first started up the fountain, I also felt that the pump was louder than it should be. I was able to adjust the sound of the water by experimenting with the placement of the pebbles in the base and on the 3 tiers however, and the sound of the pump is no longer a problem for me. I think the manufacturer of the pump would do well to add a section to the instruction manual to the effect that by experimenting with the placement of these stones, one can increase the sound of the water flowing to the point where it drowns out the sound of the pump.
After having used the fountain for nearly a month now, I have discovered that the pump noise is EXTREMELY sensitive to the water level. It’s important to keep the amount of water right up to the fill line (which is small and difficult to find). If the water level starts to drop…even slightly….the pump noise will start increasing and continue to do so the farther the water level drops. If it gets too low, the pump can be damaged. On the other hand, if the water level is kept at the fill line, the pump noise should not be a problem for most people. Also, I found that in warm weather I have to add about 10-12 ounces of water daily to keep the water level at the fill line (your mileage may vary). This is not the fault of the pump, it’s just the way things work…in other words, normal evaporation.
There is also a water flow control on the pump itself so that you can adjust the amount of water through the pump. You have to remove two screws and take out the pump to do this however and I haven`t found the need to change it so far. Another point about the pump noise is that I was really only aware of it when I was within 1-2 feet of the fountain itself (and I have good hearing). Most people aren’t going to notice the pump noise unless they are in an otherwise exceptionally quiet room and fairly close to the fountain. One last point about the fountain noise is that you need to keep the water level at the proper level. If it drops too much, the pump will become noisier but once the water level is restored the pump becomes quieter again.
One of the biggest positives in my opinion is that this fountain uses low voltage DC current for the lights and submersible pump. I’ve always been concerned about indoor fountain submersible pumps which use 120V AC current. Any time household voltage electricity is used in or around water there is a hazard of electrical shock and/or fire. Low voltage reduces this risk to near zero.
That is why most building codes these days require the use of a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) in certain household locations (i.e. bathroom, etc.) which will trip a circuit breaker and shut off the electricity if water has gotten into the connections somewhere and is causing potentially hazardous current leakage. You almost certainly have them in the electric wall outlets in your bathrooms (they have a red or black “reset” button between the two outlets) and possibly in your kitchen as well. You can also buy portable GFCI’s at your local hardware and Amazon also sells them (http://www.amazon.com/TRC-90265-6-012-Shockshield-Portable-Protection/dp/B000XU5MEG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342325556&sr=8-2&keywords=gfci). They plug into any wall outlet.
Since this fountain is low voltage (as I mentioned previously) having a GFCI is not as critical. Still, it’s worth having one on it if you want an extra measure of safety or if you are concerned about any water making its way along the electrical cord and into the transformer/wall plug (not likely but still possible). If you have an indoor fountain with a 120V AC pump, you DEFINITELY need a GFCI in my opinion.
Another point about this fountain is that mine HASN’T leaked at all. Also, if you inadvertently overfill the water level, such that it overflows the edges of the fountain it can create the appearance of leakage when in fact it is NOT leaking. Splashing over the edges of the fountain can be mistaken for leakage as well. I found that mine does splash a very, very slight amount (an almost imperceptible amount) but after all, it *IS* a fountain and that’s what fountains do!! Again, any splashing can be minimized by experimenting with the placement of the stones. Still it’s best to place it on a surface that cannot be damaged by water, such as Formica, tile, etc. You certainly aren’t going to want to place it on that antique solid cherry lamp table!
I also like the placement of the LED lights. There are 3 of them and their placement is well thought out. One is just inside the very top of the fountain where the water streams out. Because the LED is amber, it creates the appearance of dancing water at the top of the fountain. It also can appear to be candlelight. I have also mistaken it for the flame of a candle many times because of this same lighting effect but I consider that a positive.
There are two more amber LEDs, one which illuminates the middle tier and the last one which illuminates the bottom tier. Some may find the lower two LEDs too bright but you can easily use a small piece of dark tape to direct the light downward instead of outward. I haven’t found that to be a problem however. Overall, the lighting is very attractive, particularly for a fountain in this price range. You can spend $100-$200 or more for a fountain and get only one LED that shines down from its top however this fountain’s lighting is far superior.
Regarding the sound of the water, it is quite audible and can be heard some distance from the fountain, about 10-12 feet or so. Still, it is not a large stream of water….about what you would get if you let a faucet partly open. It is very relaxing and satisfying however, but if you are looking for a more powerful water sound, you will need to spend more and get a larger fountain.
The fountain is very aesthetically pleasing, not only from the sound of the water flow but visually as well. It is also versatile. In addition to being a display fountain, it can also be used as a night light and a cat drinking fountain! As long as your expectations are properly set regarding it, (i.e. don’t expect copper and slate for that price and understand that so far, even the very best electric submersible pump is going to make sound that is at least slightly noticeable if you pay close enough attention to it). I like mine so much that I am ordering several more.

UPDATE – 08/21/12
I have had this fountain in service just slightly over one month now. About a week ago, one of the 3 LED lamps in the fountain stopped working and there appears to be no way to repair since it is imbedded in the plastic structure of the fountain. A few days ago, the second of the three lamps stopped working as well. Right now, only one of the three lamps continues to work properly. It is now past the return window with Amazon so I cannot return it or receive a refund for defective merchandise. I am continuing to attempt to get Amazon or the product manufacturer to refund my money.
Also, Amazon’s policy on reviews does not allow a change in the rating originally provided at the top of the review otherwise
I would be lowering the rating on this item to at least 3 stars.
UPDATE #2 – 09/18/12
After not all that much pressure on my part, Homedics, the manufacturer of this fountain agreed on August 30, 2012 to replace the fountain if I returned the defective fountain to them using their prepaid shipping label (no cost to me). I had sent emails which were not quickly answered but contacting them by phone seemed to be the ticket to getting the replacement. I received the replacement fountain via UPS today so I guess we will now see if the replacement fountain lights work any better than the ones on the original one. I will update this review again after a reasonable time to report how the replacement fared.

I got this for my friend as a birthday gift and he really loved it. He likes the sound of gentle flowing water and was always his dream to fall asleep to those sounds so the gift was perfect for him. I’m not exactly sure how loud the overall fountain was as it’s not always on when I’m around, plus the fact that I can’t stand noises sometimes, but her personally really loves it so I think this is a wonderful product

 Pour le prix ça en vaut la peine. Quelques roches de plus pour cacher le mécanisme et le tour est joué. On entend pas la pompe du tout. Pour ce qui est du coulis d’eau, quelques roches aux bons endroits et le bruit s’accentue. Mon adolescent l’adore et est impatiens de se coucher pour s’endormir près de son petit coin nature.
J’ai enlevé une étoile car la broche qui rassemblait le fil électrique avait comme fondu et en l’enlevant le fil s’est dénudé. J’ai décidé de mettre du tape électrique pour m’éviter d’avoir à le retourner.
