Fountain Services

Nothing adds beauty to a pond like a fountain!  Besides adding beauty to a pond, a fountain enhances water quality.

All healthy bodies of water need oxygen for the normal biological cycle to be completed.  In large bodies of water this occurs naturally as a result of wave action.   In smaller lakes and ponds, it is easy for biological factors to become unbalanced, causing the oxygen levels to drop, making it necessary for mechanical aeration. 

Proper circulation and aeration will increase the amount of oxygen at all depths.  Cool water holds more oxygen than warm water.  Mixing the cooler water from the bottom with the warmer surface water enables the entire water body to hold more oxygen.

What will the fountain do?


Besides adding breath taking beauty to your pond, a fountain adds aeration. 

Aerating a pond provides a healthier habitat for fish, reduces algae blooms, improves water clarity, and rids the pond of bad smells.   In short, aeration aids the normal biological life cycle in a pond so it works the way nature  intended.  Aeration also improves the effectiveness of bacterial products that reduce nutrients and improve water clarity.  


How do I size a fountain to fit my pond?


The amount of aeration required for a pond or lake depends on its size (surface area), its depth, whether it collects run-off from fertilized areas, and its general condition.  One (1) horsepower of surface aeration per surface acre should be adequate for a typical pond.  Multiple smaller units can be more  effective than one large unit if the pond is shallow or has an irregular shape.  The smaller the pond or lake, the more aeration it needs per acre.
