      Comments about Waterbury Solar Fountain:

      This was a total disappointment. The finish peeled within 2 weeks, it was difficult to clean, the pump was junk and it cracked after 1 month of hot weather...my vision of a pretty environmental piece in my garden went out the window along with the money I spent on it. I now use the bottom part as a planter. Imagine.

      Piece of Junk

          Comments about Waterbury Solar Fountain:

          I complained shortly after I bought this item because the faux finish came off. I did not return it because it is too heavy for me to handle. Later the side split open. IT IS HOLLOW. Then the solar unit stopped working. At least it could still be a bird bath. Now it doesn't even hold water. A complete piece of junk.

          Had this item 1 season. Stored in the garage and went to put it up this year and has cracks everywhere. Very cheaply made. Could of bought a stone one for the same price. Beware of this ripoff!

            Looks good and works good, but finish wears off easily. Fiberglass needs a added prep. for the finish to adhere to.

            Looks nice and birds enjoy the water. Easy to fit together. Finish doesn't last and my pump stopped working after about 3 months....... So looks nice, but not very durable.

              I wanted a fountain as a focal point in a garden that is in process. I didn't want the trouble of running electrical so the solar panel works well. It was super easy to set up and looks as though it is made from stone instead of the durable, lightweight material. I put a few ferns around the base, filled it with water and instant "zen".

                  This fountain is lovely; however, only from a distance. The grey finish is peeling and it is a great disappointment.

                      I obtained my fountain this past spring and loved it. However, I now find that gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is starting to wear off the finish leaving white fiberglass exposed. I assure you it has had only normal wear and loving care.

                      The pump worked for only two days and then failed. I was careful to keep it fully immersed in water. Seems to be a flawed design in the motor. Fountain now functions as a very attractive - - but expensive - - bird bath. Recommend dropping item from your catalog.

                      We love the look and the sound of the dripping water but we're having to clean the pump and change water twice a week -- and it's in a large open yard with no trees but still clogs. The last time we cleaned, it just stopped. Don't know if it's the cord, pump or panel and we've only had it 6 weeks! It does work when it looks cloudy but maybe sun rays are getting through. Pretty weak bubbler. No information came with it on how to order replacement parts.
