What Is A Floating Fountain?

A floating fountain is a decorative water feature designed to float on the surface of a pond or lake. It typically consists of a submersible water pump attached to a flotation ring, which draws water from the surrounding area and sprays it through a nozzle to create an appealing water pattern.

Floating fountains are ideal for ponds or lakes that are too deep or difficult to accommodate a traditional submersible pump mounted on the pond floor. They are also well-suited for ponds with dirty water, as they pull water from near the surface, which is generally cleaner than the sediment-laden bottom that could clog a pump.

Another key advantage of floating fountains is their adaptability to fluctuating water levels, which is common in lakes. The float rises and falls with changes in depth, provided that the tethering cables have enough slack. It’s essential to ensure the pump is positioned in sufficient water depth to prevent it from "bottoming out," which could cause the fountain to tip over or damage the pump’s motor.

Floating fountains come in a wide range of sizes, suitable for anything from small ponds to expansive lakes. Here at Healthy Lakes, we have a wide range of floating fountains to cater your needs.
