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

These easy of attaching the fountain to the pool, and simple instructions.Made it easy to enjoy the pool.

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=1Its 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.

Whoever designed the compression fitting at the top head needs to go back to school for some basic plumbing education. The threads of the nut bottom out before the compression fitting actually gets tight enough to hold the head securely. And guess what happens if the compression fitting isn't tight?You guessed it, the head blows off. The only way to keep the head on is to lower the pressure to the point that the head only produces a 5 or 6 inch fountain, which is just pathetic. And yes, it was as tight as possible-you can't tighten it any further when the threads are bottomed out or you risk breaking stuff (it's cheap plastic, after all).As nice as these look on the product page, do yourself a favor and save your money. They clearly aren't well designed.

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.

The media could not be loaded. Replaced my jet nozzle with this, but the threaded return fitting is too small. The fountain falls out easily when bumped and must be readjusted constantly. If the fountain fit properly, I'd give this more stars.

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....

This item arrived previously opened in a damaged box partially assembled with missing parts. Fortunately I was able to make it work with the previous one I had. If you are adjusting fountain regularly this item will only last you 2 years at best. On my 4th in 6 years

The media could not be loaded. I live in Alabama and toward the end of the summer our pool gets close to 90°. These lower the temperature of our pool approximately 20°. They have a great quality. And listening to them is just a plus. I would recommend these to anyone.

Excelente producto funciona y se ve muy bien.

The media could not be loaded. 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!

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.
