Fountains serve many purposes. They add beauty to your landscape, and they aerate ponds and lakes, meaning they add oxygen to ponds and lakes that have been overcome by nutrients from fertilizers, overgrown plants, and pollutants.

Fountain Types and Uses

Fountains range in size and horse power, depending on the purpose for the fountain itself. For example, a homeowner may choose a fountain for mainly decorative purposes for a small backyard pond. This type of fountain might be considered Fractional or small, with horsepower of ½ to ¾. Or, a larger fountain in a Mid Series ranges from 1-5 horsepower.

Aerating fountains are usually in the Large (7.5-10 HP) to Giant (10-25 HP) ranges, and are used to create a beautiful pattern above the water surface, while aerating the water. These types of fountains are found in ponds and lakes with larger depth and need for oxygenation.

Fountains are beautiful in the daytime, but with our lighting packages, you can now enjoy patterns and a beautifully lit fountain in the evening hours. Ask about Coastal Pond Solution’s extensive selection of lighting packages for your new fountain, serving Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas .

Aerators

Aerators are used to infiltrate a pond with needed oxygen.  Still ponds are only able to exchange gases at the water’s surface level.  When there is not enough oxygen in a pond, marine life cannot be supported, and gas exchange is limited, leading to unwanted build up of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. This will cause foul odors and unclear water, and a conversion to potentially toxic nitrate.  As a dealer for The Power House and Otterbine Barebo, Coastal Pond Solutions offers many models of aerators for any size pond- both fresh and salt water.  Continuous flow, surface agitation, high pumping volume, and built for energy-savings, our aerators will have your ponds looking great and functioning properly.
