How do I decide between a fountain and an aerator?

While both add aesthetic appeal, aerators are primarily for controlling algae, adding oxygen, and preventing insect breeding. If you prioritize aesthetics and soothing sounds, a fountain may be the better choice.

Do I need an electrician?

A licensed electrician should install a power source if you do not already have one installed by the pond. Our fountains are fairly easy to install once the power source is up and running. With nylon rope and cinder blocks anchored on two sides, and powered by a submersible cord that plugs into a power source at the edge of the pond, our fountains float in the middle of the water. We often have customers who install their own fountains in order to save money. You will need to take into account your available resources.

How do I know which fountain is best for me?

This is the question we receive most frequently, and it carries a lot of weight. We would start by asking: is aeration the goal, or is it aesthetics? Or, do you need both? Consider one of our Aerating Fountains if you're looking for aeration, or both. Compared to aesthetic fountains, they circulate much more water at a much higher rate. In terms of aesthetics, there is a wide variety of options to consider. What it looks like is ultimately up to you. To begin with, make sure your pond meets the minimum depth requirements. Then, make sure your display doesn't exceed the capacity of your pond. Each fountain product page contains display dimensions.

No, lights are not included by default. It is possible to order them simultaneously with your fountain or sometime later. Attaching them to the floating unit is as simple as snapping them on. It is well worth the investment.

Can I let my fountain run all day?

Yes, our fountains are designed for continuous 24/7 operation

What warranty does my fountain come with?

All products come with manufacturers warranties.

Can I leave my fountain in during winter?

While it's possible to leave your pond fountain on during winter, it's generally recommended to turn it off when temperatures consistently drop below freezing, as running it could potentially damage the pump due to ice formation; however, if you have fish in your pond, keeping it running can provide crucial oxygenation, so consider using a de-icer or aeration system instead to prevent ice buildup and protect your fish.

How long does it take to receive my fountain?

Products normally ship with in a couple days and delivery is, on average, about 5-7 days.

How do I determine the right size and horsepower for my pond’s aerating fountain?

The size and horsepower depend on your pond’s surface area, depth, and intended use. Larger or deeper ponds may require more powerful fountains to achieve proper aeration.
