Alpine Corporation TEC106 35″ Outdoor 3-Tiered Pedestal Water Fountain & Birdbath, Relaxing Cascading Water Feature for Garden, Patio, Yard, Deck, and Outdoor Spaces, Green

Super cute fountain & Great Customer Service!
I liked the size, design and affordability of this little fountain. I have a small deck outside my room that I made into a retreat as it’s enclosed with bamboo reed screen for privacy and ambiance. After adding seating, many plants, solar lights and other decor, I wanted a water feature, specifically the sound of water cascading.I needed something that would fit size wise and of course, look nice. I found this fountain and felt it fit perfectly for all my wants and needs, it is very budget friendly and arrived in just a couple of days. Upon its delivery, I immediately unboxed it to assemble, which was quick and easy. I know others said they needed to make modifications but I just followed the directions and it went together easily and as expected so, maybe there have been adjustments made on their end?After assembling I filled full of water before turning on and once plugged in, it was just as advertised and water was cascading down from the top tier into the bottom bowl. It looked and sounded great!I was very pleased with my purchase and took video which I sent along to friends and family who were all surprised at its price point and thought it was really cute.I don’t keep it running continuously but only when home and have my door open so I can hear the water. I sit out on my deck in the early mornings and in the evenings after work because it’s so relaxing, the fountain definitely helped me achieve the goal of creating a nurturing and relaxing space.Then this past weekend I noticed the water level was rapidly dropping and then noticed my rug was getting soaked. I unplugged it immediately to investigate what could have happened? I had not had any previous issue whatsoever with its performance at all. I refilled it back to the recommended level in an attempt to try and find the leak but couldn’t seem to locate it. I kept trying for a couple of days as I was really bummed not to have my water feature…I just couldn’t figure it out and I couldn’t use it anymore so, I got on Amazon to see what could be done…the 30 day return window had come and gone, I was bummed.I decided to reach out to the seller & honestly, was not expecting much but boy was I pleasantly surprised.Not only did they get back to me in a timely fashion responding right back to my email. They acknowledged my issue, verified my purchase and told me not only that a new fountain was on the way but not to worry about sending back the old one and to keep it for parts just in case! Wow!!!Not what I was expecting or what is typical, GOOD customer service is hard to come by and because of this, I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again.I had already shared videos etc with friends and family as previously stated and I know at least one of them want to purchase the same fountain. I will encourage them to do so for sure.It shouldn’t matter the cost of an item purchased, it should perform as promised and if not, it should be made right which was exactly how this situation was handled by the seller, with integrity and professionalism.What an all around good experience it has been to buy this product from this seller, I’m stoked on the fountain and the seller👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👊🏼

WORTH IT IN THE END
YES, it’s plastic. Yes, it needed a few tweaks. Yes, it may not last fifty years. BUT, it’s exactly the little, inexpensive fountain I needed. I used a 3/8” grinding stone on my Dremel tool to open up the center holes on the two drip tiers. It was tricky getting the fountain pump situated in the bottom basin, but by using a zip tie to pinch the stiff cord slightly in a “U” shape and removing the pressure, the pump laid down nicely. I chose to put the fountain on a 16” X 16” stepping stone for easier leveling. The open filigree design of the fountain’s base would be too difficult to level on its own, so I cut a few channels on the base’s underside to accommodate the cord and allow the fountain to stand flat on the stepping stone. This way I was able to level the fountain with only one shim placed under the stepping stone. The water flow slider in the pump was a little wonky, but in the end I was happy with the water flow. Finally, weather-sealing the fountain may seem excessive, but even if the fountain wasn’t plastic, the sun destroys EVERY material in your yard, even wood and metal. So a little UV care isn’t too crazy an investment. I’m a DIY-er and I love to tinker, so this fountain’s little hiccups didn’t bother me, but you may not feel the same. That’s cool. In the end, I love my little fountain. It absolutely gives the charm my patio needed, and all for under $40.

Beautiful fountain, easy to assemble, looks great in a garden, attracts a wide variety of birds (given the fact that we are in the city). I even purchased a second one since I was so impressed. Fountain requires a little addition of water every morning. I looked elsewhere for the same fountain but found them at 3 times the price. Very pleased, I only wish that the plug would be 3 feet longer….but this is not a big deal.

This is a very light weight PVC plastic fountain. Likely to blow over in a moderate wind. …too light weightThe directions were lacking in detail for the fussy part of installing the pump…. not too complex to figure out thoThe top piece was not drilled straight so I had to REALLY tighten it to get the seal to the top dishFinal straw was the pump died at the less than 48h mark!The sellers were great and courteous… too bad the item didn’t match their service
