Fountains add drama and interest to even the smallest watergarden and can be an exquisite centerpiece for a large pond. Lighting lends an enchanting touch to these water features extending the enjoyment of the watergarden far into the evening hours.

In addition to the magical sights and sounds, fountains promote gas exchange by breaking the surface of the water. Water movement also helps reduce nuisance algae populations.

Fish frequently gather and play in the slpash for hours. Whether your taste is simple and elegant or dramatic and bold, we have the fountain head and accessories to meet your need.

Fountain Heads
Fountain heads produce spray in a variety of patterns. The graphic at right illustrates jet, tulip, mushroom, and 2- and 3-tier sprays. Bubblers, bells and swirls are also available. Little Giant and Danner supply a wide variety of popular models for the home watergarden.

Most fountain heads for the home watergarden are constructed of durable plastic and provide years of reliable service. Periodic cleaning to keep jets free of algae and debris ensures an even, regular spray pattern. A small brush is perfect for this job.

Fountains can be powered by submersible or external pumps or they can operated by their own pumps. Diverter valves are designed to direct flow from a main pump to other water features. Extension tubes are used to raise fountain heads above the surface and to adjust the height.
