Fountains

A pond fountain draws water up and sprays it into the air, creating a decorative display while moving and aerating the surface of the water. Fountains are popular for visible ponds where appearance matters, such as entrances, golf hazards, subdivisions and yard ponds, and they add both curb appeal and surface circulation.

A fountain aerates mainly at the surface as water is thrown into the air and falls back. That helps with surface circulation and appearance. For deeper ponds and dugouts where oxygen needs to reach the bottom, bottom-mounted diffused aeration is the more effective approach. Many sites use a fountain for looks and a diffused system for water health.

Choose a fountain when appearance and surface movement are the priority on a visible pond. Choose a bottom diffused aerator, such as a windmill, solar or electric system, when the goal is to oxygenate a deeper water body from the bottom up and prevent stratification, muck and fish kill. To weigh your options, see our guides at /learn.

Most decorative fountains run on electric power, so they suit ponds with access to a power supply. If your pond is off-grid, our windmill and solar aeration systems circulate and oxygenate the water with no power line required. Contact us and we will help you match equipment to your site.

The right fountain depends on your pond size, depth and the look you want. Contact us with your pond dimensions and we will help you select a fountain, and if water health is also a goal, we can pair it with a diffused aeration system sized for your pond.
