Choose the Right Pump Motor
Pump motor size is a critical consideration as it determines the fountain’s water disbursement and adds to the overall aeration in the pond. To figure out the appropriate pump motor size for your pond, start by determining the depth and surface area of your pond. Depending on the size of the pond, you may require a pump motor with anywhere from ½ to 5 HP.
We recommend choosing a higher horsepower motor than you think you’ll need, as this will help it cope with any future changes to your pond, such as adding more fish or plants. Remember, a pump motor that is underpowered can result in a dull and unsightly fountain display.
Pro Tip
Pond Fountains require consistent maintenance, filters need replacing, and air hoses need checking to look for leaks and clogs. The pump motor should be assessed to make sure it is in good working order.

Match the Pond Fountain to your Pond’s Size and Style
When selecting a fountain, make sure it complements your pond’s size and style. A larger or more elaborate pond requires a fountain that can match its scale and complexity.
A small pond with a small surface area can look great with a simple, single-tiered nozzle, while larger ponds with interconnecting arms, and multiple-tiered nozzles are ideal for bigger surface areas. The fountain lighting, and nozzle shapes also contribute to its aesthetic appeal.
Consider the Fountain’s Spray Pattern
Due to exposure to the wind, ponds located in open areas may require a more narrow water discharge than ponds located in protected areas. The spray pattern also plays a crucial role in oxygenating the water.
Fountains with a single stream or bubbler nozzle are ideal for maximum oxygenation, whereas those with a fan or dome-shaped nozzle distribute the water more broadly, resulting in less oxygenation. A good suggestion is to choose a fountain that can be adjusted to different spray levels, so you achieve the effect you want.

Pond Lake Management can help solve your Pond Lighting needs.
In addition, to the benefit of color, RGB lighting can be controlled by a wireless controller that allows you to turn the lights on and off and potentially change the color scheme from the comfort of your home. No need to make your way to the fountain in the middle of your pond.
