Fountain Mountain, Inc. sells its pond and water feature equipment under the Fountain Tech name. The company operates from Santa Maria, California, and serves homeowners and wholesale buyers through its website. On the pond fountain pages, each model is listed with the pond size it suits and the spray patterns it offers, so buyers can narrow their choices before ordering.Pond size is the starting point for choosing a fountain. Shoppers can compare pond fountains floatingat the surface with aerators and diffuser systems that work from the bottom of deeper ponds. A floating fountain is held in place with mooring rope and is usually set near the middle of the pond, where the water is deepest. Swapping the nozzle changes the spray pattern without replacing the fountain. The website also has a pond calculator that recommends fountain options once a buyer enters the pond's measurements. Owners who want the spray lit at night can add an LED light kit that mounts on the float.
"A pond fountain should suit the pond it sits in," a company spokesperson said. "When someone sends us the size of their pond, we can point them toward a fountain that moves the right amount of water and gives them the look they had in mind. We enjoy hearing from customers after their first season with a new fountain, because that is when they see how much the pond has changed."
Many listings from other sellers put horsepower at the top of the page. Fountain Tech points buyers to net flow rate instead, since that figure measures the water a fountain actually sends into the air, and that movement is what adds oxygen to the pond. A fountain marketed as 1 HP can carry a pump with about one-third of a horsepower in output, which means two units with the same label may perform very differently. The company's fountain kits include a float, a pump, mooring rope, and a filter basket, and they are assembled in the US. Replacement nozzles and filter baskets are sold separately for owners who want to keep an older fountain running.
