Hi-Line Gifts LED Lighted Ceramic Outdoor Garden Fountain - 25.25" - Blue

I read the reviews before I decided to purchase this fountain. One person mentioned that it was too loud to be relaxing. I understand why they said that, so my husband and I inserted rocks near the lights, at the top where the water hits the surfaces to help with the sound. I also realize that if there’s not enough water in the fountain, the sound of water falling back inside of it is loud, has an echo in the ceramic chamber and is a bit annoying. If you put your hand in the fountain where the water flows back into it (from the lower level cylinder) you will notice that the sound diminishes. The instructions unfortunately do not tell you how much water to put in the fountain, but I found that if you put enough water to be close to where the water flows back into the fountain, it helps as there is a shorter distance for the water to fall which creates that echo. There is bit of spray around on the ground so maybe you could put some plants so they could benefit from it. Finally always make sure that the water level is above the pump, if not the sound is not relaxing. The higher the water level, the better. The fountain is attractive, was a good price so I think I’ll keep it. The lights at night are a nice touch. We’ll see how long it lasts.
