Customer Reviews of Homedics WFL-SLVS Envirascape Silver Springs Illuminated Relaxation Fountain with Natural Stones
Customer Review: Pretty, but the pump is terrible!
Summary: 3 Stars
This fountain has some good points and some bad points.
Its good points are mainly aesthetic. It's a pretty little thing, comes with a good number of attractive pebbles, and you can adjust the water sounds by changing the pebbles around. The orange lights are a little bright for me, but in a dark room they make a nice pattern on the ceiling, and you could tape over them if you wanted them off.
The whole thing is made from cheap plastic, and the back is unfinished, so it's best up against a wall, but for the price, I still think it's very attractive - I've had other fountains before, and everybody who saw this new one said "Wow! That's nice!"
It's also small (a lot smaller than the measurements say! No dimension of this fountain is anywhere near 13 inches! It's more like 9" high X 8" wide X 7" deep, to be generous), but I like that because it fits nicely on my desk where I can see and hear the gentle trickling water while I work.
Now for the negatives:
In a nut shell, the pump is rubbish.
I see from the other reviews that some people have no trouble with the pump, and others find it intolerably loud - my guess is that this is simply because the pumps are badly manufactured and thus, inconsistent. You could be lucky and get one which works quietly and properly, or you could be unlucky like me, and get a pump which sounds like a coffee grinder.
I keep a lot of aquarium fish, so I am used to submersible pumps, and honestly, the only kind of pump I would expect to make a noise that awful is one which is ten years old about to die! It was horrible! I have never seen a pump so bad!
I cleaned it, I took it to pieces and lubricated the turbine - everything, but it was hopeless! I could not stop it from rattling, so eventually I cut the wires which held it into the fountain, sealed them over, and installed a cheap Jebao brand pump (under $20), which, by the way, purrs away silently and is perfect.
Unfortunately, since the lights are (bizarrely) wired in through the pump, the lights on my fountain no longer work, but this isn't a problem for me, since I bought the fountain for the sound.
NOTE TO "INTERNATIONAL" BUYERS: A problem that you might not expect is that, even though Amazon ships this fountain to various countries, they ship it with an American power supply! I live in Australia, so I had to buy a new power supply with an Australian plug and 240V transformer (I needn't have bothered, though, since I can't use the original pump anyway, and my replacement has its own plug).
I love this little fountain now, but unmodified, I would have had to chuck it out!
