Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We just received this fountain. I am an engineer and inventor and like the way the fountain is designed with one exception. I only had it plugged in ten minutes before I knew for sure that my wife would not put up with the water fountain noise. For those who are bothered by the splashing sound, don't give up on the fountain. With my simple modification ($4.50) using two 5-inch square white ceramic saucers purchased at the local grocery store, the fountain is completely silent and only slightly more difficult to clean. See the photos for how to make the simple mod. The 5-inch saucers fit perfectly and are held down by gravity. They do not interfere with function of the fountain at all, but it does mess with the look a bit. You have to choose quiet or pretty; we prefer quiet. Hope this helps folks that can't stand the extra noise. I think the manufacturer should incorporate this feature by widening the bottom of the tower.
