Floating fountains are often the first and one of the best additions we recommend for aesthetic and functional enhancements. A couple main categories of floating fountains: decorative fountains are designed to spray water into the air in stunning spray patterns, though they are generally not known for their water circulation. Many have beautiful colored (and customizable) lights that demand attention to the waterbody at night. An aerating fountain, on the other hand, is one that is designed to move more volume of water thus creating a circulation. However, that doesn’t mean these fountains aren’t aesthetically pleasing too. Some of the best-looking aerating fountains combine the best of both worlds with a decorative, multi-tier spray pattern that has the visual flash and moves a lot of water. Add some lights and you have a system that demands attention and benefits the ecosystem.

Well-circulated and oxygenated water has many compound benefits when fountain systems are efficiently sized and spaced in the pond. In certain cases, it may be beneficial to pair fountains with bottom diffused aerations systems. The movement increases dissolved oxygen levels, which in turn helps stabilize water quality parameters and prevents nutrient pollution that contributes to aquatic weed, algae, and toxic cyanobacteria growth.
