Alpine Corporation 35" Tall 3-Tier Outdoor Pedestal Water Fountain – Durable Resin Cascading Water Feature and Birdbath for Garden, Patio, Deck, and Backyard, Green

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👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👊🏼

For $30 ish dollars, I would have been happy if this fountain had lasted one summer. We're more than halfway through the second summer and it's still going strong. It is very lightweight, but I like that - it's easy to move, dump out, etc., and despite it's flimsy feel, it looks really nice. The fountain does require some time and maintenance to keep it working properly. Sometimes when I squirt it out to clean it (without emptying it completely), the water stops flowing. For some strange reason, if I take off the top dome, and give it a minute, it starts back up. Sometimes I have to take off a few more tiers. Why removing tiers on the outside of the water tube would affect what's going on inside the tube/pump, I don't know, but it always works. Another thing to note - about once a week, I take off all the tiers down to where the pump is under the bottom dome and wash the fountain out well. It gets really dirty inside that dome, and lots of birds drink from it, so I try to keep the water clean. I've found that when re-assembling, the top dome doesn't screw all the way down. It never feels tight, but it still works. The re-assembling can be done with the water flowing. Last note - the first summer, I had the fountain up against the house since that's where the electrical outlet is. The birds never came near it. This summer, I ran an extension cord out to under a large tree. Now it's full of birds all the time. They love it!

I liked this fountain at first, even though it’s quite obviously a cheap plastic imitation of antiqued metal. It worked well enough and the birds didn’t worry about aesthetics. I enjoyed the sounds of water and birds. Then last week tragedy struck and we found a little sparrow drowned in the largest bowl. When I bought the fountain, I was focused on the bubbler on top to hopefully attract hummingbirds. None came, but sparrows and starlings came daily. The larger concrete birdbaths in the yard got all the action from the other birds. At the fountain, at first the birds only perched and sipped. I noticed that none landed on the upper tiers—they’re too small. The large bottom bowl, though, has a wide and slippery edge that’s hard for the birds to grasp onto. Sometimes the little ones slipped in accidentally and scrambled out. Eventually, some starlings got the courage to bathe, and a few sparrows too but they were cautious. Then last week, while no one was watching, a sparrow either tried to bathe or accidentally slipped in from the edge and couldn’t get enough footing to get out. All the while, it was getting soaked by the dripping from the tier above. I’m heartbroken over the struggle it had that ultimately failed. I didn’t think it was deep enough to add rocks and maybe it wasn’t the water but the struggle that doomed that little creature. Either way, I can’t recommend this fountain. I will be getting rid of mine and I will destroy it because I don’t want anybody else to take it from the curb and put it in their yard. The fountain has at least three fatal flaws: the main bowl is too deep and slippery for small birds to bathe without rocks; the rim is too wide and slippery for birds to grip; all the tiers, including the main bowl, are too small for bathing. In the main bowl, especially, birds can’t bathe without being drenched from above. I’ve since added rocks to the bowl, but now we worry that the water level will fall too low for the pump so it’s not running. It’s just a mute reminder of a bad choice and a dead sparrow.

Water features where it freezes in the winter can be difficult to maintain, and therefore I wanted something easy to assemble and disassemble, easy to store during winter, and above all something that would attract birds. This fits the bill perfectly. It's not the most attractive or robust fountain, but it is frequented by at least a hundred birds per day (finches, sparrows, doves, and even some hummers). The biggest down side for me is that where it sits it gets full sun in the late afternoon. The sun heats the plastic and it bends a bit, making the bowl tip. It's fine, it just sits a bit crooked due to bending. I turn it every couple of days so that the bending evens out a bit. The pump works well, but may need to be cleaned every few weeks if there are things getting sucked into it with the water. Very happy with this purchase for what I wanted and expected. Great price point for this product (around $50). UPDATE 11/20/23: This awesome fountain has provided excellent entertainment and resources for hundreds of birds for yet another year. I continue to think it's an amazing fountain at a fantastic price point. Clean it well before putting it away for the winter and be sure to clean the pump well. Easy to put away for the winter and looking forward to next summer of enjoyment. Highly recommend!

I didn’t prepare or read what material this was. I guessed based on the picture. It’s plastic. The instructions are absolutely awful and nothing makes any sense and there are pics of pieces not put together for no reason. I had to figure this out all by myself and the switch to turn it on and off doesn’t do anything. It just stays on forever. So cleaning will be hard cuz it’s plastic. Ugh. But it’s pretty and much bigger than I expected. To clarify for sure …this plugs in. It is not a solar fountain. That’s what we wanted. And …it’s perfect for what we want. If the instructions made sense then this would get more stars. Also pieces didn’t have holes the right size and I had to use a drill to fit it and then one didn’t have any hole where a hole should be.

I gave this fountain a 5-star rating for two reasons. 1. It looks good, sounds good when running and was easy to assemble. 2. I did have one problem. The center brass tube that goes from the pump and holds everything together above it the upper nut was cross threaded, when I tried to move it , the tube twisted and then was unusable. I called alpine customer service and spoke to a service rep named Eve and explained the situation to her. She said the part I needed was not available as a replacement part and would instead send me a new fountain. All I had to do was send a couple of pictures, the batch number and a copy of the sales receipt. After I did that , I had the new fountain in less than a week.I just want to say thanks to Eve and her team she worked with, They were all outstanding.

This is the second one I’ve purchased. The first one worked perfectly and the finish just faded overtime cause I didn’t spray it with a sealant, and the pump died out. I had it for like four or five years. There’s nothing else in this price range that is like this with the three levels, unless you wanna pay $200 to $600 for a nice concrete or ceramic one. This is perfect for small birds, like sparrows, and hummingbirds. They like to rinse off their beaks and take a little bath, which, as we know, it’s very hard for hummingbirds to find an appropriate place to bathe. The bees actually love to drink out of it too, so if you’re looking for something that can satisfy all three of those this is perfect. I do recommend adding Aviclense water conditioner, that you can purchase on Amazon, to keep the slime down and also the germs because bird baths can get very germy, obviously. So I put seven drops in there every time I add water. I will either change the water with the hose and just spray it out every day or I’ll just add water every day because so many birds bathe in it. I just imagine it’s very germy. When you’re assembling it just make sure to feed the power cord through the tubing down to the base and then you can just pull it up through one of the holes in the base. When you’re putting the pump connection to the fountain spout you can use a 1/2” wrench T.O. tighten and loosen it to the appropriate height to fit the pump in there and then push down the fountain rod tightly into it. One problem I had with my old one was that it wasn’t secure enough or low enough and it would get loose, and it wore out the plastic part that holds it there so that’s probably the most important part, in addition to not letting it dry out. But It’s very easy to assemble and clean out and if you use the water conditioner, it doesn’t get that bad. The only time I get slime is in the summer because it sits right in the sun, but it’s just a little bit. I know this is very wordy. I just wanted to help whoever was interested in this as much as possible.

The plastic construction of this product is only suited for locations where birds are the only outdoor animals that will attempt to utilize it. If you have squirrels, raccoons, or any other of nature's creatures that attempt to use it, it will fail. Even supported with heavy objects it will bend or break with animals jumping on or attempting to get to the water. I have also had difficulty getting it balanced so that the water flows evenly across the three tiers. OK for birds but little else

It’s a great bird bath and water fountain. Easy to assemble. The birds love it. I have it on a timer to turn on and off automatically. I don’t run it through the winter. It’s plastic but looks good. Hasn’t ever tipped over. You have to keep adding water to it every day or couple days depending on birds using it. And don’t forget to clean it at least once a week. Happy birding.

Not worth the money , the pump was defective, still trying to return the product but Amazon has not picked it up yet .

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.

I am little bit deceive, because finally I just have a bird' bath and not a fountain, I had so hard times to assembly the pump and finally it not works, I don't know if it broke or not. I will buy another pump, because i bought it because it was also a fountain, I love it, it's beautiful, if I can settle the pump problem :( I will be much happier with it, :). but I recommend it, may be I am responsible of the pump problem, but the instructions are not very clear about this part of the assembling.

I bought a bird bath very similar to this one from Amazon but this isn't anywhere the quality . way too light not finished very will and. thin plastic.
