Fish require oxygen in the water, if a pond or lake is already oxygen deprived then the addition of fish will make it worse and they will not likely survive. The easiest way to improve the oxygen content in a pond or lake is to add an aeration device. When water is sprayed in to [...]

120 and 240 volt single phase power are two of the most common voltages available for lake or pond fountain power. This is generally what is available in nearly all residential properties. 240 volt is marginally more efficient but the main advantage is that your wire size is substantially smaller when compared to a similar [...]

You can anchor in one of two methods. The first is to use two cement blocks at the bottom of the pond with mooring ropes attached and tied to the float allowing 3 feet distance away from the float for every foot of water depth. The second method is to tie mooring ropes to stakes [...]

Customers can install a solar system to power our products, however the most cost effective method is typically permanent utility power unless in a remote area.

A fountain uses a higher pressure low volume impeller pump to generate larger spray patterns through a nozzle. An aerator uses a low pressure high volume propeller pump to spray large volumes of water at a lower height for enhanced aeration capacity.

Fountain size is a personal choice based on pond size and ensuring the majority of spray pattern stays in the pond on a windy day. Aerator size is dependent on pond shape, size and biological loading. An irregular shaped pond may be better aerated with multiple smaller units than one large one. A typical rule [...]

Our motors are water cooled and water lubricated and is maintenance free only requiring annual cleaning to remove any debris buildup. Some of our competitors use less expensive oil filled motors which require seal replacement and oil changes every 2 to 3 years.
