Dark Sphere 35 1/2" High Large Zen Modern Indoor Outdoor Decor Faux Stone Floor Fountain with Light LED Bubbler Pillar Ball Water Feature for Outside Garden Patio Yard Backyard Porch - John Timberland

The media could not be loaded. I just LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! this fountain... it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Yes, it does leak at first but there is a simple, easy, quick fix... gotta give credit to the hubby for figuring out this one!. 1. First, assemble the fountain. 2. You will notice a cable (it's the power cable for the pump AND the LED light) and it passes thru this tube like thingy. 3. Use silicone sealant or RTV to seal the area of this tube where the cable passes thru it. THAT'S IT!! that bad boy works like a dream now and NO leaks!! I've had it for a couple months and am VERY PLEASED! I get lots of compliments as well. I'm gonna also suggest you purchase an Algaecide Clarifier (bought something called Fountec). You only use a drop and it keeps away the algae... I use it on all my fountains. I used it on this one as the round globe ball started getting a little slimy but now it never gets slimy anymore. The Dark Sphere color is really nice as well... mine is black and was true to the picture. BTW - Lamps Plus customer service is the BOMB! They are sooooo nice there. Very helpful folks! I will try and upload a pic for everyone but I wanted to write this review before I forgot!! Happy Thanksgiving fellow Amazon shoppers!! Bo

I bought this fountain 2 years ago and as soon as I assembled it, It leaked. Instead of returning it, because I liked how it looked so much, I put some silicone sealant inside the fountain around the area where the electrical cord comes in to power the pump and light. It has worked great ever since - no leaks! Now, after 2 years the pump needs to be replaced - something I expected because fountain pumps never last that long. I plan on buying a new pump. Still love the fountain.

The pump stopped working after two weeks. I called Amazon customer service. I ended up going through an automated process which directed me to Lamps Plus. The customer service rep at lamps Plus was very rude and condescending. I expressed concern to the customer service rep that if a pump dies in 2 weeks how will the replacement pump be any better. She chose not to listen to me and just continue to speak over me. So I decided to return the product for a refund. The product had to be returned to UPS. I did not have a box large enough to put the fountain in. UPS was going to charge me $40 for a box to return the fountain. I did not believe that was consistent with free refunds. I then went through the system again trying to contact Amazon's customer service. Again after going through the automated system and eventually talked to a person I was very disappointed. The person I spoke to told me to just go find a box somewhere and then take it to UPS. I am not in a position to be driving around to find a box large enough to return a fountain that only worked for 2 weeks. I can't say who I'm more disappointed with Lamps Plus or Amazon customer service. I would not, I repeat NOT, purchase any items from the third party seller Lamps Plus nor would I recommend purchasing this product. To summarize I would not purchase this product because it only worked for 2 weeks and the customer service is horrible. I am now stuck with a $200 fountain that may or may not work with the replacement pump. By the time I received the replacement pump that I really don't want. I will be outside the window of the return for the Amazon. I am so very disappointed.

Very nice bubbler. The bubbling brook water sound is just sooo soothing. The pump is very quiet. We don't hear it at all. Here's a tip, though--how to fix a design issue that the designers left unsolved. In the first few days that we had the fountain, the water level was very erratic. Often the water sloshed over the side for seemingly no reason. At one point we even thought it had a leak. However, it turns out that the sphere is a sealed system. Barometric pressure changes, the outside temperature and even the cooling effect of the water evaporating as it flows over the sphere all affect how much the air sealed within the sphere pushes and pulls on the water below. The answer is to tape the end of a small length of clear plastic tubing up inside the sphere and then run the other end under the rim of the sphere and up over the edge of the fountain. This equalizes the air pressure within the sphere to the outside environment. Now our fountain is perfectly civil with no more strange spills, etc. We really love it, though the tubing does make it look like we turned the fountain into a still of some sort!

I bought this fountain specifically to attract hummingbirds. I am happy to report that they are now using it regularly. The flow of water is gentle, which is perfect for the hummingbirds to stand in. The only drawback to the fountain is the limited water holding capacity. Make sure to check the water level every 1-2 days and refill. I learned the hard way at 2 in the morning, when I was awakened to a horrible whining sound. It took me a few minutes to identify the source. But overall, this was a great purchase. I would highly recommend.

This fountain had a leak from the factory; the rubber seal for the power wire inside allowed water to pass through. The vendor was very nice and offered to replace it, but I fixed it with some silicone caulking.The sound is pleasant, it works as it should, keep it nice and level so the water streams down on the whole sphere.I would give five stars, but the leak cost them one star.

Beautiful lightweight piece! Sleek and elegant. Can't hear the motor at all. Water pouring us not very loud! I get compliments on this fountain all the time. With stands high temperature and doesn't lose color. Has to be filled daily for me seeing how it sits at the front of the house in high heat!

I bought this fountain a few years ago. Always had it in a shaded area and it was only out in the warm months. Kept the pump clean and used distillled water to prolong the life of the pump. The fountain started leaking from the basin somewhere so I attempted flex seal it twice and it didn’t work. I loved the fountain but expected more life from it even with extra care it failed. Sad to say it’s garbage now.
