This beautiful, high quality glazed ceramic tabletop fountain is perfect for any home or office setting. The water pump sits in the pool of water beneath the sphere and circulates the water up to the spout in the top center of the sphere, where it bubbles over and flows down the sides of the sphere, into the pool of water in the round basin. This creates sweet, soothing water sounds that you will find very relaxing. The quiet water pump has an on/off switch.
