POD: Fountain
Beyond their inherent beauty, lake and pond fountains offer a wide range of benefits to their owners. By circulating and aerating water, they are able to reduce the presence of undesirable weeds and algae, remove foul odors, and greatly improve water quality. Moreover, they create an improved habitat for aquatic life, enhance water clarity, and even boost real estate values! When choosing which fountain will grace your waterfront, it is important to research the options carefully as great differences in fountain quality, features, and performance exist. The Admiral Fountain, a heavy duty, commercial-grade fountain, is a great option as it boasts many advantages over competing units, as outlined below:
Filtration: The Admiral Fountain is again unique from competing units in that it comes with a standard mesh filter over a side intake. The mesh filter provides the fountain added protection, while the side intake both further safeguards the unit and enables shallow-water mounting (in as little as 24 inches of water!) In circumstances where water quality is poor, the separately-sold Mega Filter is available to further protect your investment and assure optimal use and efficiency.

This fountain is designed for simple installation and easy maintenance. There are no hard-to-use materials involved, no special skills or tools needed. And any mistakes you might make are easy to correct. The fountain shown is about 4 ft. in diameter. You could make yours half as big or twice as big using the same materials and methods. To change the look of the fountain, you can use a different type of stone, arranged any way you like. Find the step-by-step instructions, here.
Modeled after an old millstone, this little fountain is the perfect size for a patio or small backyard. Constructed from concrete and common building material, you can construct it in a weekend. Here's how!
If you're looking for an eye-catching feature for your patio, deck or even front entry, this natural-looking fountain will do the trick. Designed around a special stone with a 1-in. hole drilled through it, water from the pump gurgles up through the hole and overflows the stone. To reduce maintenance, we eliminated the collection pond. A gravel-filled reservoir below collects the overflow for recirculation. Since no sunlight can reach the water in the reservoir and support algae growth, the water stays pristine. Check out the complete how-to instructions, here.
The Colossal Pond Fountain The Colossal Pond Fountain is a decorative way to aerate your pond. From 1/2 HP to 1.5 HP and available with light options.This fountain is suitable for clean and dirty water ponds and shallow depth ponds!!
Man-made lakes and reservoirs are often subject to still water, especially in areas with little wind activity. Floating fountains offer aeration and surface disruption that bodies of water need to keep from getting stagnant. Having a floating fountain reduces algae levels, increase oxygen levels and provide a large percentage of the required aquatic maintenance. These are all vital to the health of water bodies, especially in mosquito-prone areas.
Note: The Fountain Guys. Ltd. will not warrant pumps for use as replacements on Sugar Creek MPS Series fountains due to obvious design flaws that have contributed to repeated pump failures. In our opinion, the MPS Series Fountain places the pumps in the upper levels of pond water, exposing the pumps to warmer water and higher concentrations of weeds and debris which results in clogging and overheating. Under sized power cord is also a contributing factor.
Portable two-circuit fountain timer incorporates a plug in for a timed circuit (normally used for a pump) and a plug-in for a live circuit (typically used for lights). GFCI protected circuits and a three-prong grounded plug for the time switch supply are also built-in. Qty. 1 .... $132.82 Secure On-line Ordering

Floating lake fountains and aerators not only add beauty, but they also add function. They are an integral part of your overall lake and pond management. The aeration and circulation that floating fountains provide is essential to maintaining overall pond health. Properly sized lake and pond aeration systems will help to mitigate damage caused by the excessive nutrient loading that occurs through the inflow of stormwater. The beneficial microbial processes in lakes and ponds that are enhanced through well-conceived floating fountain aeration will reduce and eliminate many of the water quality problems faced by lake and pond owners.
A pond fountain adds to the enjoyment and value of a home by improving water quality and decreasing mosquito activity; it can also be a majestic centerpiece, providing distinction and splendor. In a professional setting, lake and pond fountains add a bit of tranquility while providing much-needed aeration.

The pump comes with a suction cup base for fast, easy installation and operating stability.
Many pond problems are solved by installing a fountain. It has a recirculating, submersible electric pump with a spray jet that spews the water as high as you like while aerating the pond at the same time.
"A lot of people enjoy the fountains for the looks because you can get a variety of spray nozzles and different heads for them to change them," Roose says. They also provide circulation and movement in the water's surface to help algae breakouts, and they provide oxygen to the mid-to-surface levels of the water."
Usually the fountain is situated in the middle of the pond, but sometimes there are smaller ones at each end, too. Roose says it's important to place the fountains where you can easily get to them for maintenance. Check them at least every two weeks to make sure the filters aren't clogged with vegetation. Since a pond fountain will cost over $1,000, that's good advice.
Winter is a beautiful time of year. With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season it can be easy to overlook winter preparation for your fountain. If you live in an area where you do not anticipate temperatures to drop to freezing, you can maintain your fountain as usual; however, if you live in an area that is anticipating freezing temperatures, you should winterize your fountain to protect the fountain, pumps, and its components. Luckily, winter fountain maintenance is simple and can be completed in a short period of time with these three simple steps. 2ff7e9595c
