Water Features and Decorative FountainsAdding a pond fountain or aerator to your pond is one of the most beneficial things you can do for the overall health and beauty of your pond. A fountain or aerator will circulate the water in your pond, add oxygen to the water, and some models add a stunning and dynamic water feature. We offer high-flow models for aeration as well as models with draw tubes for deep water circulation. Our innovative and low-cost designs will help you maintain a beautiful pond without breaking your budget. Most systems are easily installed by the customer and we will be happy to help you as necessary.Why purchase a fountain or aerator? An average pond without proper circulation has multiple layers of water, with each layer getting colder as it gets deeper. These dark bottom layers typically have little or no oxygen, which can decrease the amount of useable fish habitat and inhibit bottom-dwelling food sources (such as worms and crawfish). Another drawback to an oxygen-starved pond bottom is that organic debris (leaves, plant material, dead fish, etc.) are unable to properly decompose. This can result in an accumulation of black, smelly, anaerobic sludge that builds up over the years, making the pond shallower. Another drawback to heavily layered ponds is that they are more susceptible to fall turnovers and subsequent fish kills. When a pond has proper aeration and circulation, the layers in the pond are well mixed, and all zones of the pond have good oxygen levels, day and night. Organic debris can now decompose in a way that the nutrients may now enter into the food chain to eventually become more food for your fish. The likelihood of a fish kill (from natural occurrences) is virtually eliminated. A well aerated pond will have healthy and active fish, and the pond will generally look and even smell better.
