Picking the Perfect Fountain

A fountain can be a beautiful addition to your pond or lakeshore property! A floating fountain will enhance the view and sound of your landscape, as well as provide aeration to degas and clean the water.

Things to consider when choosing a fountain

Size of Pond or Lake Area

The length and width of the pond or lake area will establish the appropriate size of fountain required.

Wind Interference

Determine if there is a lot of wind in the proposed fountain location or if it is a shaded area. A windy location can blow the water over to the shore wetting the grass. In windy locations we recommend choosing a fountain that sprays wider, not higher and has a bigger water droplet. In a shaded area the fountain spray pattern is not disrupted by wind and stays more uniform.

Size of Fountain

A wide selection of fountain sizes and nozzle options are available to suit your taste and the size of your pond or lake location. Choose the fountain size and nozzle pattern from selections below.

Hydro Requirements

The size of fountain will determine the horsepower required. Review the Floating Fountain Specifications chart below for the motor HP to obtain the voltage and amp information. The length of electrical cord required can be calculated by distance from power source near water to location where fountain is to be placed, plus cord length to reach bottom depth.

Next, determine how far it is to the main power box, to make sure the wire is sized right to meet the hydro load required. Other hydro requirements to consider are fountain lights, other pond lighting, music, etc. Your electrician will ensure adequate hydro sizing is in place to prevent amperage drop. Pond Perfections can provide guidance on proper wire sizing for your fountain as well – give us a call if you have questions.

Pond Perfections strives to manufacture sturdy units that require low horsepower and low running amperage without sacrificing the height and diameter that comparable brands require.
