Pond & Lake Fountains
Domina's Agway in Portsmouth, Rhode Island (RI) & Southern Massachusetts (MA) & Connecticut (CT) area, sells, installs, and maintains Airmax floating fountain aerators for all-size natural ponds and lakes. Fountains are mostly viewed as an aesthetic addition to an otherwise quiet body of water, but play a vital role in the overall health of your otherwise stagnant pond or lake. The movement of the surface of the water, combined with aeration, from above and below the water's surface, is one of the keys to the overall ecosystem survival. The other is a professional-grade water treatment regiment.
How to Choose a Fountain
Fountains are a great way to add visual appeal to the pond or lake landscape and the stirring water is relaxing and tranquil to hear. In addition to their aesthetic qualities, fountains also add a great deal of oxygen to the pond as the tiny droplets make contact with the air and fall back into the pond. However, do pond water fountains provide enough aeration? Similar to choosing an aeration system, determining if a fountain is right for your pond will depend on the depth, shape, and size.

Decorative Pond & Lake Fountain Types
Decorative fountains have many different available patterns. These patterns do result in reduced flow, circulation potential, and lower oxygen transfer rates, but the tradeoff is high aesthetic value. Although decorative fountains still provide aeration and circulation potential in the top 6’ of the pond, we mainly consider them aesthetic units.
Aerating Pond Fountains
Unlike decorative fountains, these units typically have only one V-shaped pattern. Since there is less restriction in the flow, they have better circulation and oxygen transfer rates. Aerating fountains are a good comprise when you are looking at aesthetics and water quality.
Surface Aerators
Different from decorative, or aerating fountains, these units have no defined pattern, but benefit from increased water flow and surface disturbance, along with the highest oxygen transfer rate. When dissolved oxygen and water quality are the main priorities, surface aerators should be your first choice.
