FAQ

How long does it take to assemble and install the fountain?

Our vortex floating pond fountain ships assembled in one box. It is simple, one-person installation with a simple plug in and go operation.

Can I add lights to my floating fountain?

We offer LED lights that can be added to your pond fountain at any time for an additional cost. These lights come in 50′, 100′, or 150′ cord lengths. Our light sets come with an additional timer that allows you to choose when to turn on the lights.

Why should I aerate my pond or small lake?

Ponds that do not have aeration can become stagnant or stale and can also produce an awful smell. Aerating your pond or small lake with a pond fountain will circulate the water which increases the oxygen levels in the pond that help prevent fish kills. You can also see a decrease in algae and a reduction in muck levels. Use a pond aerator to keep your pond healthy and beautiful all summer long. Great shallow ponds less than 10 feet deep!

Which HP should I choose?

The ½ HP fountain will aerate up to ½ acre. The ¾ HP and 1 HP fountains will aerate up to 1 acre.

  1. laurie.riepe (verified owner) –

    I’m really happy with this fountain! I’m not that handy, but was able to install it easily myself. Our pond was covered with green carpet algae. The first few days we had it in, it became clogged with algae – we just pulled it out and sprayed it down with a hose. After a few days, no more clogs. After 1.5 weeks, the algae is completely gone! We also used Mizzen from LR to kill the algae. The 1/2HP easily plugs into my regular outdoor outlet, and the automated timer it comes with is great. The fountain itself has a nice spray pattern and is moving water throughout my .14 acre pond. Also the staff at LR has been awesome and super helpful to me as I’m learning how to beautify my pond!

    • Katie Braton –

      Thanks for the specific feedback, Laurie! This will help inform other customers as well. We’re glad you’re so happy with your fountain!

    Their warranty basically doesn’t mean anything. They don’t back up their products.

    Thin spray pattern – doesn’t do much for water quality but looks nice.
