Captivating Water Displays - Floating Lake and Pond Fountains

Having a pond or water garden in your backyard is great, but when the water is still, it can develop problems such as algae and inadequate oxygenation. These problems can transform your pond from a beautiful focal point to a slimy, smelly mess. The best way to beautify your pond and prevent these types of issues from occurring is to use a floating pond and lake fountain.

Pond fountains create movement, which increases the oxygen content and improves the clarity of the water, as well as the health of plant and animal life. Not only will your aquatic plants, fish, birds and amphibians have a healthier, clearer environment, your new aerating fountain will create a stunning water display.

The 1400 1/4HP Lake and Pond Fountain by Kasco is perfect for small ponds and water gardens. It floats upon the surface of the water, and is very easy to install - if you already have a 120v outlet, you won't need the help of an electrician at all. Five interchangeable nozzles produce beautiful, distinct spray patterns, ranging from 4 to 10 feet in diameter. The water spray arches an average of 3.5 feet in the air, and is available with our without lights, so you can choose to illuminate the fountain at night with an LED light ring. This fountain includes everything you need, and consumes very little power, making it ideal for constant operation. Pictured at left is the 1400 using the 'Osprey' spray nozzle, illuminated with the LED lights.

If you've got a larger pond or lake, the 8400 240 Volt Lake and Pond Fountain is a great way to create a dramatic effect. This incredible floating fountain can produce a spray that measures up to forty feet wide, and twenty feet tall! Six different spray patterns allow you to control the look and size of the water spray - it's like having six different fountains for the price of one. Add the 3-75 Watt Light Kit for spectacular nighttime displays. This light fixture is made of solid bronze, and can be partially or fully submerged for different effects. It includes clear halogen light bulbs, but for more variety, you can purchase colored bulbs in yellow, red, green, and blue. Pictured at left is the 8400 using the 'Linden' spray nozzle.

In addition to these two fountains, www.kineticfountains.com has a wide selection of extremely durable, high quality Kasco water features in various sizes to fit any backyard or community pond or lake.
