We purchased the Sunnydaze 80" tiered fountain in May 2021, and overall, it’s a beautiful piece that draws a lot of attention. Each fall, we disassemble it and reassemble it in our barn without water to allow it to fully dry before any potential freezes. In early spring, I inspect it and seal any hairline cracks with a commercial-grade roofing caulk before final setup. The biggest issue we’ve faced is the excessive splashing from each tier, which makes it hard to conserve water within it. I experimented with multiple solutions: I cut 2" & 4" PVC tubes slightly taller than the water line for each tier—these reduce splash and stay in place, but aren't very attractive. I also tried filling each level with light blue ping pong balls to create a splash barrier, but they tend to float away with the upper-tier water flow and get blown out. What worked best was crafting chicken wire rings that sit about ½" above the water, wrapped in a poly fabric that absorbs and retains the splash. It’s not perfect, but it’s functional. To keep algae away in humid weather, I place a bromine tablet in the top and bottom tiers. So far, I haven’t seen any signs that bromine damages the fountain, though I still repair a few minor cracks each season as a precaution. I also tried copper pipes for algae control in the first year, and while they worked, they required constant cleaning to stay effective, so I started using bromine. And we don't have plants under or near the fountain. A tip for setup: you can use non-wood shims to adjust the tiers slightly so the water flows evenly all around. And we added an affordable remote control to turn it off and on from inside the house. All in all, it’s a great-looking fountain that does require a bit of annual maintenance and creativity to manage splashing. But if you’re willing to put in a little time each season, it’s absolutely worth it for the visual appeal.

Not a cold weather fountain
On my second fountain in 3 years. Paint came off on both. Was told fountain needs to be taken down and brought inside every season. So in cold weather it’s an indoor fountain.

disappointed
we purchased this fountain and loved the size and the way it looked - however it was chipped when it arrived and didn't sit straight no matter what we did. by the end of summer the color was coming off - the next summer the hose wouldn't fit - we tried to leave it in the sun so it would stretch but still wouldn't work. tried to reach out for a replacement top - figured we could live with the rest as it is attractive but couldn't get a response. wouldn't buy this again.

Paint starting peel off
It looked great for one month, but the paint starting peel off, and it is getting worse. Have sent pictures to the Customer Service, waiting for response now.

Pretty but MAJOR design flaw so its NOT functional
We love the look of this fountain HOWEVER due to manufacturing defect the fountain does not operate as a fountain, its just a 4 tier basin that holds yucky green water now. After sending emails with photos to the company and many phone calls it still is not resolved. The problem is the tubing that is attached to the very top tier is not long enough to allow the pump to sit submersed in the water. After trying to execute the recommendations from the customer service department, some that defy the laws of gravity and we tried to explain to them that wouldnt work. One even went against what the instruction manual said, they said to let the pump hang and it was ok that it wasnt submersed in the water. Long story short if you are really in the market for a large fountain, find a different company that sells a product that functions as described, otherwise you will be disappointed with this particular water container!

Grand Courtyard Fountain
After searching for months for a pretty fountain I finally found the Grand Courtyard fountain on Serenity Health and was blown away! After purchasing the fountain it was even prettier in person. I like that it is easy to assemble and lightweight.
