Fountains are pretty cool additions anywhere, whether you live in the country, the suburbs, or an apartment in the city or whether the fountain is outdoors or indoors. They come in all shapes and sizes, are made of various materials, can be very heavy or very light in weight, and their displays can either be 40 feet in diameter, as in the one pictured here, or the size of a trickle of water. There are fountains for indoors and outdoors, for placement on land or in water, for a location on a wall or for just sitting on a table or the floor. You can't argue with such versatility!
The photo of this Fountain Tech fountain was taken on my country lake, 4 acres of water that was in drastic need of circulation and aeration. The fountain has taken care of that.
Along with the soothing sound and visual effects is the fact that fountains provide a very important benefit to the environment! The oxygen levels of the pond have been maintained without chemical additives. And yes, you CAN buy fountains online - quite often with free or discounted shipping...
Have a lake or pond that could use a little rejuvenation? Visit Fountain Mountain and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
They have a huge selection of fountains including Kasco and the one I purchased from them, an FTech fountain along with underwater lighting, foggers, misters, and other accessories. Fountain Mountain has great customer service, fast shipping, and a web site full of information regarding size, and capacity, and pumps, and all the details you'll need to make the right choice for your pond or lake.
This fountain also worked fine through a North Carolina winter as you can see here.
I wrote an article about ponds and fish kills and the importance of aeration if you are interested in learning a few more of the technical and environmental advantages of an outdoor pond or lake fountain.
TIP: Country "scoop" on ponds and lakes - under 2-acres is a "pond" - over 2-acres is a "lake."
