36” Traditional Bamboo Fountain with Pump – Outdoor Japanese Garden Water Feature for Ponds, Buried Basins & Disappearing Fountains | Natural Bamboo Landscaping Accent for Zen Gardens & Patios

I think this a bargain for the price. I built my pond, attached brook and 2 waterfalls about 25 years ago, without help or machinery. As I approach 80 y.o., I have simplified things by removing the brook and waterfalls but I missed the sound of moving water. This gives me the sound and sight of moving water with very little effort and expense. I played around with different things to keep this device upright. I ended up driving a long segment of aluminum tubing into the ground and placing the bamboo onto it without crimping the water tubing. I have always loved the simple Japanese Pond look and this fits right in with my granite Japanese lanterns, pond lilies, etc.

The bamboo is very thick walled and indeed a different species than typical. The pump is still running after 3 months 24/7. It comes with the spout separated so you need to push the hose through the spout and insert the spout which is then pinned in place. It's all very precise and aligned perfectly. I need to cut the spout shorter for my needs and it worked great using a fine tooth saw.

I used this for a small existing pond that had a funky looking stone waterfall that needed to be replaced. I removed the waterfall and installed this bamboo spout. When I test mounted it next to the pond, even though it is only three feet high, it looked too big in proportion to the pond. I was going to saw about a foot of it off but my wife talked me into just burying it about ten inches and surrounding it with stones to get it to blend in better. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Installed a blue tooth controlled switch for the pump so I can control it with an app on my cell phone. The photo shown is using my existing pump, not the pump that comes with the spout. Not sure if there is any difference.

I bought a competitor's item and had to return it because it was poorly designed and essentially non-functional. I'm happy to say that everything is designed well and the unit is fully functional. I upgraded the pump because I wanted to pump the water farther than the included pump was designed for. It was easy to adapt the existing tubing to some larger tubing.

I have installed this next to my waterfall, and it drips into the pond area. The size stated is accurate. After burying the bottom part of the bamboo post, you'll end up with approx 24-30" above ground. It makes a pleasing statement of simplicity and style. You'll get the bare and rough bamboo ground post, which is about 4 inches in diameter, an arm made of very smooth 1 1/2" bamboo that reaches almost two feet out from the post, and a bamboo pin to hold the two together in the pre-drilled holes. You cannot misalign the parts if you use the pin and holes. Assembly takes a couple seconds of alignment. A six foot piece of clear vinyl tubing is pre-installed through the ground post and arm, eliminating the need for the frustrating job of trying to drill the center of the post and arm and pulling the tube through yourself. Do not grab the arm and pull it away from the post when unwrapping. Doing so will pull the hose free, and then you get to re-thread it inside the bamboo. The pump is included, and has a rather short cord, so you will need to either get a waterproof extension cord and cover, or install this within a few feet of it's power source. I used a ten foot outdoor cord and covered the connection with one of the waterproof extension cord covers available on Amazon. I'm pleased with the purchase, but did remove one star because it came with no manual at all and no way to contact the manufacturer if the bamboo arrived split or the pump didn't work. A person handy with things can look at the online picture and figure it out, but a manual and warranty contact address for those that have never assembled anything like this would be an easy thing to include.

Looks and works great. Easy to install, needs a stake to anchor in the ground. The pump works well and is sufficiently powered for a good flow of water even when placed in an underground sump.

Beautiful piece. Solid and well crafted so should last for some time.

The Fountain looks Great. Problem is the Pump. First of all when installed it provided a very weak water flow. Then it just stopped working or pumping after about 3 days so I ordered a stronger pump. I ordered a pump rated to lift 10 feet and it pumps 800GPH It also has an adjustable speed knob. I do not want to return the fountain because it looks so great. From what I am reading in the Reviews others have had this problem as well.
