POND BOSSDFTN12003L Floating Fountain With Lights, 50 Foot Power Cord, 1/4 hp

I have a small pond. I started watching YouTube videos on diy pond fountains. I bought a bunch of stuff and started making my own. What a mistake.Just spend the money for this fountain. It is SO EASY to deploy. It looks great.I would definitely buy it again.

The media could not be loaded. So far, so good. Took about an hour to install with some help, because we needed to tether the 3 rope lines in the right spots to keep it from tilting over, but it’s working well so far and has the fountain height as advertised! Satisfied so far!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this fountain to replace a commercial fountain I had in my pond for a decade or so. But replacing it with the same fountain was not a cost effective solution, so we decided to try this fountain. I was worried it would be too small, but it is a good size for our pond.Overall I am very happy with the fountain. The only issue we have discovered (which seems to be a design flaw), is that the fountain sits slightly off balance due to the motor. The motor does not sit directly under the fountain; it sits off to one side and sticks out from the center of the fountain about 6-8" causing it to sit off balance.Our neighbor has this same fountain and we noticed their fountain also sits off balance.If you use one of the less defined spray patterns (like in my video) it is not as noticeable. But if you use one the the patterns that are more defined, you can see that it is off center.That being said, we rigged it to help it sit more balanced. We took the cord that comes off the end of the motor and zip tied it up to come off the opposite side of the fountain. That little bit of tension helped counter balance the motor and help it sit straighter. It's not perfect, but much better

Ordered to replace a 1/2HP pump with supply and return piping and fountain for my 1/8 acre pond. Was able to install it in the dark with a headlamp. Very easy assembly and instructions. Was surprised how much water this pump/fountain moves. Actually appears to move more water than my previous setup. Time will tell how long it holds up. I did purchase the Pond Boss Mesh Bag to attempt debris from clogging it up. Because of the decrease in amperage, (Old Pump 240V/5A, New Pump 115V/1.5A) we can afford to run this pump for longer hours, which is sure to make the fish happy. Speaking of happy, after I got it cranked up, I called the wife to come out and check it out. She loves it. The LED lights make an awesome effect with the water. I read some negative reviews about the lights not lasting. I found that the wire connector used on the fountain side of the cord does not appear to seal to well. Water is probably the culprit in most of the failures. I used some high quality electrical tape and looped the cord around one of the lights to keep the connector on top of the fountain. It will still get wet, but will not be underwater. Hopefully it helps, because I really do like the lights. Looking at other reviews, some report problems with the fountain after a few weeks or months after installing it and complained about it not having a warranty. Just make sure to register it with Pond Boss. They have a two or three year warranty and seem to have great customer service. I highly recommend this product.June 6, 2022 Update - Well after having to replace the LED lights several times, I was still pretty happy with the fountain itself until last September when it took a direct hit from a huge oak tree during Hurricane Ida. Even with the LED light failure issues, I ordered a new one from Amazon in December. I was finally able to clear all the trees from the pond and installed the new fountain in February. It has been running fine since I put it in. Today I spoke with a friend of mine that purchased the same pond boss floating fountain on my recommendation. He told me he has had to replace the LED lights several times on his fountain which is just a little over one year old. He explained that the pond boss people were nice about replacing them the first time when they failed at two months old. The second second set lasted a couple months and the folks at pond boss are now dragging their feet. While I had to wait a while for the parts to come in the last time they failed, the folks explained that they were in the process of moving and were waiting for parts to come in from overseas. Other than that, I have had a good experience with the Staff at Pond Boss, but am not pleased to hear they are treating my friend differently. BUYER BEWARE. There is an evident problem with the LED lighting package on this Pond Boss floating fountain. Until Pond Boss figures out what the problem is with the LED lighting and applies a fix, I would recommend thinking twice before purchasing the product if the LED lights are a deal breaker for you. This fountain comes with a 3-year limited warranty if you register the product with Pond Boss. Please make sure you register your fountain. Good luck.

I purchased the 1/4 hp pond boss about 1.5 years ago and has been operating 24/7 since. Only glitch is the lights stopped working. Contacted customer service. They quickly took care of the problem so we'll that I wrote them this email today that says it all:Dear Cindy,I wish all companies had such great customer care! Thank you so much for being so supportive. Your Pond Boss fountain really works great. Not only calming to hear and see but the water movement helps reduce mosquitos. That and with such good people as yourself it really is a pleasure and stress reducer. I'm going to go share this with others on Amazon.Wish you all a happy new year!Dan
