Q: I notice a lot of reviews mention there is not drain. Has this been corrected?
submitted by Michellelynne - 1 month ago
A: Hello! The design of the Pump & Splash Discovery Pond does not allow for a drain since the basin is not raised off the ground. However, the pump allows for water to be pumped out of the basin to empty. Best regards, Step2 Consumer Service

Fairly easy to assemble. Kids were very excited one I was able to get some water to siphon up. Then after about 10 good pumps, it died. Definitely not worth the money. Ours was too difficult for smaller children to pump and stopped working in 2 minutes. I would not recommend this. I've seen similar reviews.

This water table/pond is so much fun! Right now my baby is still little so she’s able to sit in the pond and splash around while I hold her up. She loves playing in it and watching the water rain down or come pouring down from the bucket. I know she’s going to have even more fun with it for years to come when she can walk around and play with it. Great purchase!
fun but NO DRAIN

I am writing a second review, because now that rain season is upon me, the NO DRAIN makes this toy soooooo HIGH maintenance!! It just stores dirty rain water everytime. As it is quite heavy to lift and dump, it a job I've been dreading to do time after time. I can't understand why they made such a big water table with no drain Yeah, my kid loves it. But I wish I bought another similar model that had a drain. Water pump works ok. It is hard to get going and only the big kids can make it work, the 3yo can't.

There is no drain and absolutely no way to get all the water out in between uses. And if you live in the south where it rains once a week in the summer-good luck keeping this thing empty and not just a haven for mosquitos. Also, the pump broke after two days. If ANYTHING other than water enters the basin-forget about it. Pump is broken and you are left with a water collecting hunk of plastic. Nope.

Within a week or two the pump broke *ugh* The design and look are super cute. The kids liked it when the pump worked. But not worth the money since it breaks so quick. Is there way to buy and fix the pump part?

This would include sending any necessary replacement parts at no charge with proof of purchase if product within warranty. Please note that we provide location points and not holes for screws as shown in the product instructions. The pointed metal screws provided are self-tapping and will pierce the pliable plastic and form their own threads into product. Save time up front by using the correct size screwdriver type and head size to avoid wiggly screws during assembly. Align the screw top with the screwdriver and apply direct downward pressure or force onto screw by turning slowly with screwdriver. The screw will drive into the plastic and create a hole. This would be the same or true of driving screws into a wood board such as decking or a 2 by 4 without a hole. Think about hanging a picture on the wall of your home, if you put a new nail into an existing hole it would not have a strong hold. It is much better for you to create the hole yourself, so that every item is guaranteed complete alignment for the best and strongest results. If needed or preferred, you can use a small nail with a hammer and pound a nail into plastic a bit to create a starter hole and then take out install screw. A power screwdriver or rechargeable drill can also be used to aid installing screws but be cautious as we do not always recommend as driving screws in too far with too much torque can strip out the plastic and cause other damage. Please watch our assembly tips & tricks video on our website at www.step2.com about screw installation. Regards, Step2 Consumer Service Regards, Step2 Consumer Service

I liked the concept of this product but the pump is a huge issue. The "straw" / hose intake portion is constantly jiggling off, rendering the pump useless. It's now an overpriced water table with a pump decoration
