The Benefits of Floating Lake and Pond Fountains
Floating fountains not only enhance the beauty of a waterbody but also play a crucial role in maintaining healthy and balanced water quality. They achieve this in two ways.
First, lake fountains increase the levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the waterbody. The movement of water as it falls across the lake or pond surface enhances the transfer of oxygen.
Second, lake fountains and pond fountains help to circulate the water, distributing essential DO throughout the water column. Dissolved oxygen is a key indicator of a healthy waterbody and is one of the primary factors that aquatic experts measure during evaluations of lakes and ponds.
It’s important to note that floating pond fountains are most effective in waterbodies less than 6 feet deep. This is why professionals recommend combining lake fountains with a submerged aerator.
Determining the Best Lake Fountain For Your Waterbody
The aeration and circulation provided by floating lake and pond fountains are vital for maintaining overall pond health. Using properly sized fountains and aeration systems is essential for ensuring healthy water quality.

Other Lake and Pond Aeration Solutions
Depending on your goals, budget, and how your waterbody is used, pond fountains may not always be the right solution.
Surface aerators: If power and functionality are more important than aesthetics, surface aerators may be a better choice. Surface aerators create a boil-like flow on the water that can incorporate up to 20 pounds of oxygen into the waterbody over 24 hours. Like pond fountains, surface aerators are most effective in waterbodies less than 6 feet deep.
Submersed aerators: Submersed aerators are excellent for lakes and ponds deeper than 6 feet. Situated on the bottom of a lake or pond, they pump air from a subsurface tube into the ecosystem. As the bubbles rise, they help circulate and oxygenate the water.
Often, professionals recommend pairing floating pond fountains with one of both of these systems to maximize results.
