Below we have provided you with a variety of frequently asked questions we hear on a daily basis.

What are the benefits of a floating fountain?

Floating fountains not only add aesthetic beauty to a pond or lake, but they also work to improve the overall eco-system. The quality of water in any lake or pond is constantly threatened by nutrient overloading caused by fertilizer and debris runoff. Nature responds by producing undesirable algae and aquatic weeds. The spray produced by an Aqua Terra fountain absorbs oxygen from the air. Once the oxygen droplets strike the surface of the lake, oxygen is released into the water. The increase in oxygen assists in the improvement of the overall health of the lakes eco-system by promoting the aerobic bacterial digestion process which reduces the growth of algae and unwanted aquatic vegetation.

How does a Floating Fountain work?

An Aqua Terra Floating Fountain consists of a submersible pump which discharges water thru a spray nozzle to create a fountain display. The pump assembly is attached to a flotation unit which allows the unit to move up or down as the lake or pond's water level changes. Submersible cable connects the floating fountain unit to a control panel typically located on an on shore location.

What about quality assurance?

During the design and installation of your floating fountain, each floating fountain is tested to quality check the spray pattern, pump performance, flotation, and underwater lighting.

What extra options are available?

Lighting Packages:

Aqua Terra fountains create dramatic nighttime focal points when equipped with optional recommended lighting packages. All of Aqua Terra Fountain Lighting Packages include U.L. Listed cast bronze fixtures equipped with lens, light gaskets, and bronze rock guards.

Wind Compensation System:

A two-stage wind compensation system is available to reduce the spray blown from the display during moderate and high-wind conditions. During moderate wind conditions, stage one is used to reduce the height of the water display. During heavy wind conditions, stage two is used to deactivate the pump.

Freeze Protection System:

The optional freeze protection system can be used to activate the pump & lighting system during moderate freezing conditions to prevent damage to the fountain. During heavy freeze conditions (extended temperatures below 27 F), the floating fountain should be removed and stored in a location with temperatures above 32 F.
