Quality vs Price when purchasing a Fountain, Aerator or De-Icer
“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten”
- Benjamin Franklin.
When making a purchasing decision, price always plays a large role. Everyone wants the best quality for the lowest price possible. However, the elusive “cheap premium” is difficult to find since low prices often come at the expense of quality.
There are many factors to consider when purchasing a product;
- How long do I expect this product to last?
- Can this product sustain heavy usage?
- Does this product have all the features I require?
If you’re looking for a product to perform well and last several years under medium-to-heavy usage, then choosing a product for its quality will be the best buying decision you can make.
Arbrux floating fountains, pond aerators and dock de-icers are the result of quality craftsmanship and materials that meet the demands of the industry while remaining easy to install and maintain. Each product has been approved as complete units to UL and CSA standards of safety, and comes with a two-year warranty and excellent after-sales service.
Low prices often come at the expense of these features. Quality materials, specifications, craftsmanship and after-sales service often suffer at the expense of a lower price tag. If you’re comfortable spending money on a product that may not perform as well or may have to be replaced early and often, than a low price may take precedence in your buying decision. However, if craftsmanship and performance are important, always be sure to choose a high quality product. You’ll more often regret the money you didn’t spend, than the money you did.

Just discovered this site through Yahoo, what a way to brighten up my week!
A couole of questions about operation of your de-icers;
1) How many seasons can the de-icer be expected to last?
2) Do you suggest using a thermostat and/or timer to control the duration and timing of actual operation? (i.e. only when temp is below freezing and only for a few hours per day)
3) Are there different sizes of de-icer available depending on the dock/area size?
4) What happens if the intake becomes plugged with leaves, etc. – is the motor protected from overload or lack of water flow?
5) Does it make sense to limit the use of the de-icer to specific period during the winter such as during spring melt only?
Thanks
Mark
