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.

This is quite a nice product. Had it in the pond all summer, and aerated it well for the fish. Also likely kept the water cooler than without it. Looks great, although the fountain was not as tall as I expected. Easy to set up and assemble, lighted at night and quite pleasing. Would definitely recommend.

Looks good and works great! Make sure to get a pump skimmer or cover so nothing gets stuck in the impeller. Will see how it holds up over time. I got the Amazon 2year protection plan just in case.

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.

This product performed great. It looked just like the marketing picture. 6 mo. later the lights went out. Called the service dept. and got someone right away. I assumed that the product had a 3 mo. warranty and so I ordered a new light kit. They wanted $55.00 which I thought was reasonable but the CSR said, I wish I could help you save money. She ask, "When did you purchase this?" At this point it had been 9 months since buying the product and I told her that. She informed me that it was still under warranty and if I could send the purchase receipt, they would send me the lights under warranty. I told her I didn't have the receipt anymore and she informed me that if I bought it on Amazon, the receipt was in my account info (which it was). Sent her a copy. As I waited for the lights to come, I became concerned that the problem may have been the dusk to dawn sensor and not the lights themselves. 3 business days later I get 2 packages from the company. A whole new unit.... not just lights. NOW, what company does this for the customer. Say what you want, they did not have to do that. Besides being the best bang for the dollar when I purchased it, they also have the customer service that goes Above And Beyond.

I bought this fountain approximately seven months ago, excited to add a touch of beauty and tranquility to my backyard. It indeed was a sight to behold when operational, however, much to my chagrin, this visual spectacle has been fleeting and far too brief.The first issue emerged after only three months of use - the lights stopped functioning. Initially, the luminescence of this fountain at night was a real treat, the way it illuminated the entire pond, creating a magical and serene atmosphere that could leave anyone mesmerized. But, alas, the beauty was transient. The lights ceased to operate, taking away the primary reason why I was so attracted to this product in the first place.Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the engine gave up after only seven months of use. This essentially turned my once lovely and enchanting fountain into nothing more than a large and rather unsightly pond decoration.To give credit where it is due, I have maintained my pond meticulously. I even used a protective net to ensure the fountain was not subject to any undue strain or damage. My pond is as clear as crystal, which leaves me convinced that the issues I've encountered are no fault of my own but rather a clear indication of the fountain's inferior quality.I'm currently in the process of trying to get in touch with the company for a possible repair or refund. Unfortunately, my experience thus far has been a series of disheartening events, and I'm left feeling quite regretful about my purchase.All in all, I would certainly not recommend this product. It’s not just about the money spent, but also the disappointment and frustration that come with a short-lived product. This fountain promised longevity and beauty, but sadly, it failed to deliver on both fronts.
