In the past only the most lavish, high-priced homes had outdoor water fountains. Water gardens and water garden fountains were seen as a sign of dignity and distinction. Today you can experience a luxurious water garden fountain of your own. Enhance your pond with a fountain, and while you enjoy the site and sounds of your fountain, your fish will appreciate the increased oxygen provided by the moving water. A water fountain adds a touch of augmented beauty to your water garden pond. Many different types of fountain pumps and fountain heads are available.

The relaxing sound and a beautiful display of an aerating fountain are not the only benefits. Fountains aerate the water and improve the water quality of your pond. By increasing oxygen levels, the aerating fountain will reduce unpleasant odors, avoid uncontrolable algae growth, and improve the health of your pond.

When choosing a fountain, it is important to remember that the height of the water garden fountain spray should not be greater than half of the width of the water garden pond. This will help to prevent excessive water loss. The fountain head should be correctly matched to the intended pump to insure proper water distribution and desired effect. There are pump and fountain head combinations for those that would like to purchase a complete setup. There are also accessories that will allow you to connect a fountain head to an existing pump, and some allow for other water features to be connected.

Purchase a fountain setup kit and enjoy your own luxurious pond fountain in your new or existing pond.
