HoMedics WFL-MARI Review
HoMedics WFL-MARI Review by bunnyrabbit4 (New Orleans, LA USA)
I like the sound of this fountain but the look of it up close and the power of the motor leave much to be desired. If the water in it evaporates, even with the fountain off, you may have trouble getting the fountain to restart. Last time mine was off for a while I had to add a little vinegar to the water to loosen the water deposits in the pump and get it running again. The plastic petals slip over a central column in three stages and the motor quickly loses the power to pump fast enough to fill the third stage. The light it not as bright as shown here either. You would not notice it in daylight.
HoMedics WFL-MARI Review by E. Turner
I like a fountain in my kitchen, and my cats love drinking from the running water. I thought this would work as something that they wouldn't demolish.
It looks surprisingly good when it is actually running. You know that you're just getting plastic at this price so I wasn't expecting any great work of art. And it has a loud enough water sound to be pleasant.
However, it is really, really hard to put together. Yes, you have to find and read the directions, but, no, the directions really don't match reality. For example, the tube from the pump to the base of the "flower" cannot be attached before you try to settle everything in the base of the fountain. The tube sort of touches the flower base - that's about the best you can do - and there's no way to connect it securely. Best I found was long needle-nose pliers to attach that tube last after the rest of the installation was complete. Oh,and they don't mention that what looks like a light bulb too big to fit in the hole on the bottom of the "flower" is actually the light bulb very, very securely encased in a protective sleeve which you have to remove to get the bulb to fit where it should. Then, once it is together, the water doesn't automatically run evenly and nicely over the edges. You have to rotate the middle layer of the flower to adjust it so that water doesn't spill over the edge - and some parts will just not get water.
Then there's the unsteadiness of the whole thing once it is together - very easy to knock over, especially by a curious cat. AND the pump is very, very weak. I've had it less than a month and already it has stopped working once after I had to reassemble it. I discovered that something was just binding it up, took off the filter, flipped the switch back on, and did a quick "jump start" by flicking the impeller with an ice pick and it's running fine again - but it doesn't inspire confidence in how long it will last.

I got this from Target and, despite my usual method of checking out the reviews for something online BEFORE buying it, this was an impulse buy for me. I brought it home and then did my research--not good reviews at all. I figured I'd give it a chance so I set it up--yes, the instructions are confusing. I cleaned everything prior to starting it to make sure fuzzy junk doesn't get into the pump just like it recommended, and lo and behold, the pump is very noisy anyway. I couldn't hear any of the water, no matter how much or little water was in there. I was disappointed in the pitiful bag of rocks they included, so I went and got some little glass ones from Wal-mart in hopes that it would help the fountain make more waterfall-y noises, and, I suppose it did a little. For a short while at least. It took much maneuvering of the second and third tier basically every time I turned it on to get 'babbling' or 'drizzle' whatever it is water does, but it still doesn't mask the noise of the pump. I tried to give it a shot anyways, trying to convince myself that the pump acted as sort of a 'white noise machine' ....but that didn't work so well. I think i might end up returning it. Not quite sure yet.
I went and bought some algae destroyer from the pet shop, since some comments say that the pedals/tiers are easily discolored due to hard water or algae, but really I've only had it a while so I doubt this will be a problem any time soon, however I do recommend it for anyone who has a fountain, so it doesn't need to be cleaned as much--probably only once a month with the stuff.
The thing as a whole is pretty, especially when in a dark room and you can see the light flickering through the water on the wall and ceiling, but I'm just not sold on this thing yet. Maybe a couple more days.
