Fountain Tech maintains a catalog of pond fountains and the parts that keep them running, for people who look after ponds at home and for businesses that buy at wholesale. The brand belongs to Fountain Mountain, Inc., a company in Santa Maria, California. Pond owners can order a complete fountain kit through the company website or pick up individual parts to repair a fountain they already own.A floating fountain depends on the pond fountain float to hold the pump and nozzle at the right height on the water. On the company's larger kits, the float is a durable unit 28.5 inches across. That kit also comes with 90 feet of mooring rope, which keeps the float in position so the display stays near the center of the pond. A coated steel filter basket or a stainless steel basket hangs below the float and keeps leaves and other debris away from the pump. The company recommends setting the float over the pond's deepest water, and most homeowners can finish the setup on their own. The float is either tethered to the shoreline or to cinder blocks angled away from the float and placed at the bottom of pond.
"Customers usually ask about spray height first, and we are always glad to talk about the float too," a company spokesperson said. "A good float keeps the nozzle upright, so the spray pattern looks even from every side of the pond. Our light kits mount right on top of it, and people tell us they enjoy sitting outside in the evening once the fountain is lit."
Depending on the model, a kit ships with three to six nozzles, and each nozzle gives a different display pattern. The LED light kits were made for the company's own fountain floats, though they usually fit floats from other manufacturers as well. The company also sells floats and filter baskets as separate parts. When comparing fountains, the company asks buyers to look at net flow rate, which is the volume of water a fountain lifts into the air. A horsepower label can overstate this, since some discount fountains sold as 1 HP use pumps with about a third of a horsepower in output. Every kit is assembled in the US.
