Frequently Asked Questions

What size pond works best with these small fountains?

Our small pond fountains with 1/3 horsepower motors are perfect for water features between 100-2,500 square feet. They ensure effective circulation for ponds up to 1/4 acre, creating suitable spray patterns that match smaller water gardens. For tiny ponds under 100 square feet, adjustable flow controls let you reduce water movement to fit your pond's size, keeping the display balanced.

How high will a 1/3 HP fountain spray?

A 1/3 horsepower small pond fountain typically achieves spray heights between 3-15 feet based on the nozzle used. Column patterns reach higher elevations, while bell patterns offer wider, lower spreads. Most models include spray height adjustments to tailor the display to your pond size, wind conditions, and personal taste. Keep in mind that higher sprays may lead to more water loss from evaporation and wind drift.

Are these fountains truly simple to install?

Yes, our small pond fountains are built for genuine 15-minute setup with no technical skills needed. The pre-assembled units either float or rest on your pond bottom without needing anchoring or complicated mounting. Power connections use standard weatherproof plugs, and spray adjustments don't require tools. Most users complete installation in 10-20 minutes, including unpacking and placement, making them great weekend additions to your pond.

How much electricity do these small fountains use?

Small pond fountains with 1/3 horsepower motors generally use between 250-400 watts while operating, similar to 4-6 regular light bulbs. The monthly electricity costs average $5-15 based on local rates and usage times. Many pond owners use timers to cut consumption during nighttime, though continuous operation provides optimal aeration benefits. The energy spent results in better water quality and lower maintenance needs.

Can fish live safely with these fountains?

Yes, small pond fountains are beneficial for fish by increasing oxygen levels and improving water quality. The 1/3 horsepower models create adequate water movement without too much turbulence that could stress fish. All our fountains come with protective intake screens to prevent fish from reaching the pump. For ponds with smaller fish, additional fine-mesh guards are available to ensure complete safety while maintaining proper water flow.

How do I winterize my small pond fountain?

Winterizing our small pond fountains is easy in most climates. In areas with mild winters, fountains can keep running to maintain open water areas through movement. In harsher climates, simply remove the fountain unit, drain all water, and store it in a frost-free spot. The quick-disconnect design allows for fast seasonal removal and spring reinstallation. Some models can stay in the pond if placed below the freeze line, though removal offers a chance for annual maintenance checks.
