Poolmaster 54507 Spa and Swimming Pool Waterfall Fountain, For Pools with 1.5-Inch Threaded Return Fitting, Medium, Multicolor

Arrived on time and in fair to poor packaging. That said, I have been looking at these pool fountains for some time and knew I wanted more than 1 but not at $40 each. I found 2 available as "Open package/Missing parts" directly from Amazon warehouse for $14.99 each, so I purchased 2 for my pool. YES, they were missing parts and NOT in their original packaging but I was able to make 1 perfect unit out of the pieces and with duct tape, another working unit. OMG, they look great. Work perfect and lowered the pool temp 10 degrees. $80 worth of fountains for less than $30 buck's. Very satisfied. Being totally honest, it has transformed our pool area in that I have been sitting at our pool for 30 years and know the sights and sounds like the back of my hand, now sitting out there is like being on vacation somewhere else. The sound of the fountains, the cool spray wisping off the high arc of the water bar. AMAZING....

Don’t buy. It keeps falling apart. Waste of time and money.

Simple cost-effective way to cool your pool in the summer. Add a fun fountain like experience to the pool. More durable than I expected 3 pool seasons and they're still going strong. Easy to install

If it weren't for the fact that this fountain doesn't stay in position, I would rate it 5 stars. I do love it. It is "fairly" easy to install. The problem is that we found out the hard way that we couldn't leave ours connected permanently. It hooked up okay, but tightening it to get it in the desired position for the proper height and range of your waterfall is a tiny bit tricky. Once we had it in place, we loved it! It was a beautiful addition to our inground pool, creating a calming sight and sound for it. But...if anyone touched it, even slightly, it would be knocked right out of its perfect position. And...the worst thing for us was that we left it connected, thinking it would be a welcome addition to the pool whenever our pump was running. Unfortunately, our pump is on a timer and runs while we are not using the pool on a daily basis. One day, while the pump was running, the force of the water caused the fountain to shift, shooting the stream of water outside the pool instead of back into it. We didn't discover this until we ended up with quite a bit of water in our basement as the fountain had been shooting water directly at our house for some time. Luckily, someone was home and discovered the problem before it got much worse. From that point on, we only use this fountain supervised. Unfortunately, it's a little bit of a hassle to connect and disconnect every time, so going forward, it will only be used on special occasions. If we didn't have to worry about it, I would use it all the time as I really do love it.

Little to short, wish pipe was longer.

I tried to install this, but my pool's return inlet is male. This has a male connection too. I'm currently looking for a solution. Also, my inlet's eyeball female fitting is a tad bit larger than this male connection. I tried to screw it on this fountain as a test; that was a fail. So basically, if I did fit my pool, I think this would work well seeing how well made it is. Since I was unable to install it, I can't rate it any higher. ***UPDATE*** My inlet has a 1.5 inch pressure fitting. When it was installed before me, the installers glued it in. Thats why i thought my inlet was male. Turns out I needed to unscrew the eyeball cover, remove the eyeball, then break the base or mount of the eyeball fitting out of my inlet. It came out in pieces and behold, my 1.5 inch inlet return. It's pressure fitted so there is no screwing or unscrewing anything from this point. I figured out how to get this to work with 1.5 inch returns inlet. Once your old fitting is removed, you will need an adapter(Hayward SP1022INS): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EL3YF6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Its a perfect fit. Just push the adapter in the same way all pressure fitted returns are installed, then screw the fountain into the adapter.The fountain works great.

This is a good product. Easy to install with easy adjustments to make the fountain go higher or lower. We have a pool that has little shade, plus south Georgia weather, so this has also helped in maintaining a reasonable temperature and reducing it 1 or 2 degrees as well. My only other comment is to make sure you have the pipes installed correctly with the grommet's included, otherwise the pieces will blow off when the pump is started. I found that just inserting and pushing the pipe all the way in for connection, it causes the grommet to get misaligned and cocked to the side. It will not seat for sure if the case. My solution to that was to put the grommet on the pipe first and then push it into the connecting piece and it worked perfect thereafter.

POS. Does not fit. Not enough plumbing tape could hold it. 1.5 in fitting. BS. I could have made one for less. Too late for refund. Hopefully Amazon will do the right thing and give a credit, we can watch Amazon movies. Who vets these things?

This works great. Followed instructions and the joints were falling apart. These are a simple compression fitting. The trick is to slide pipe through the collar, then slide rubber sleeve over end of pipe, then insert into threaded pipe and hand tighten. Don’t use a wrench . Awesome feature. The sound is the best part. Drowns out neighbors without crankin the tunes!

Excelente producto funciona y se ve muy bien.

98% sure I received someone else’s return. That being said, $50 for a couple pieces of plastic that are incredibly difficult to work with. The arm that inserts into main piece that connects to the return jet will not stay in place, we have had to rig it with tape to keep it from coming apart. Definitely spend a little more and get something else…

funciona como se anuncia sólo es indispensable colocar un adaptador en la salida de agua

Box was a bit mangled and unit looked half assembled (appeared returned) although everything there. Work great, and kids love it. Easy to install. Abit of a design flaw, the rotation coupler also tightens the water release swivel pipe. A little paranoid kids grabbing onto it and breaking plastic inlet to pool.
