Plastic Fountain Nozzle 1/2, Fountain Head for Garden, Ponds, Tabletop Fish Ponds, Use for Indoor and Outdoor, 9 Components and 5 Different Shapes for Easy Installation, Pool Aerator Nozzle

I was just happy to find this to be available; otherwise, the fountain pump I had in hand would have been worthless.

Dissing cheap chicom ( or maybe chicap/com these days? If you’re old enuf to remember “Terry and The Pirates” in the fishwrap medium, you know the difference) fake crap on Amazon is a popular passtime but here’s a <10$ set of fountain spray heads that work very well with a small AC pump plumbed with 1/2’ Tygon tubing. The mushroom is particularly nice and very easy to adjust to a three lobe tulip. Another head produces an intermittent spiral with varying center column hgt. One head has substitutable heads secured by a threaded central core. There are no instructions and only rudimentary illustration of disassembly so this particular head is useless to those with limited patience for a mechanical puzzle. All the extension tubes are a decent friction fit to the heads and the tubing I use and recommend. The objection to the inline valve extender that it is nearly impossible to adjust is correct. None of this kit is going to survive in a plumbed pond like brass and stainless but for a recirc hummingbird bath shaded from UV, most bits will survive a couple of years.

It looks like a great product, but it is not what I ordered! I ordered the small set and I was sent the large.

The description does not match the product. It is described as a 1/2 unit, which most people in the U.S. would assume means a 1/2” diameter. I did my search for a 1/2” dia. and this unit came up. I decided to order it knowing that I could return it if it wasn’t a 1/2” unit. I have no idea what the diameter of the pieces are. I can only assume the piping assembles to some type of tubing from a pump.

Returned because one was cracked. Lots of options tho

The media could not be loaded. The spray head for the mushroom comes completely closed and is hard to lift up. If you had a small little tool like maybe a tiny flathead screwdriver or one of those little screwdriver hooks it would probably pull it up. I didn't and I used my teeth instead lol.I think that's why this is returned a lot because people don't know and it's not obvious. I've had one of these before so I already knew how it would work. Whoever's packaging these is pushing it all the way in!

I wanted a "bubbler" type water feature that plops the water just above the pond surface. So I just needed the rigid vertical tubing and not the fountain spray heads (although I now have options). My pond is about 18" deep and 4' across. I selected this kit because it has multiple small segments that allows me to adjust the tubing height just right.Getting the desired esthetic takes some experimenting balancing the force of your pump with the fountain heads/tubing. I appreciated the restricter valve included on this model that allowed me to adjust the pump flow until I got the look/sound I wanted.Making all of these height and flow adjustments is where the failure happened. Surprisingly I got a perfect display first time but then the pump kept tipping over (and therefore the fountain tipped over). I fixed that but noticed a reduction in fountain height/performance, hmmm. Next I had water quality issues so I added a pre-filter which solved that problem but again a further reduction in fountain height/performance was noticed. Additionally, the fountain was now slightly bent and that altered the water display.Frustrated, wet, and determined I took the entire apparatus apart and found the problem. Several of the individual segments of the fountain's rigid tubing had hairline splits vertically (from the multiple adjustments), the segments were no longer tightly fitted and that caused loss of pump pressure. I dried all the tubing segments, filled the splits with E6000 glue making them water tight again, glued each section/diverter together, and then glued the entire thing to the pump. It was my last ditch effort to get this flimsy piece of plastic to work. Two weeks into my new fountain install and I finally had success.If you purchase this set of fountain heads I recommend gluing the pieces together to assure an airtight fit, better performance, and a straight fountain display.

This plastic fountain nozzle works great and adds a nice effect to my fountain! It’s easy to attach, and the water flow is adjustable, allowing for different spray patterns. The material feels durable, and it’s holding up well with regular use. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to enhance their fountain with a reliable nozzle!
