Fountain Mountain completed hundreds of water feature sales across the United States last month. The water management firm has been working with municipal and private landowners to enhance both functional and aesthetic aspects of problematic ponds and lakes for over two decades now. The company is constantly seeking the best information and product updates for the optimal recommendation for each job.Fountain Mountain tackles water quality issues through specialized equipment designed for specific environmental conditions. Recent work included the installations of Kasco fountains in recreational areas suffering from excessive algae growth and poor oxygen circulation. These systems employ a combination of subsurface and surface aeration technologies that break up thermal stratification while creating visually striking water displays. The dual-purpose equipment addresses both the practical concerns of property managers and the aesthetic desires of visitors without requiring separate systems or increased energy consumption. When ponds or lakes are deeper than seven feet, a surface fountain alone will not aerate the water, so sub-surface aeration is required. But sub-surface aeration has no display, and by combining a fountain with sub-surface aeration the pond or lake is healthy and beautiful at the same time.
"Many property owners mistakenly believe they must choose between function and appearance when it comes to pond management," noted a company spokesperson. "What we've demonstrated through recent installations is that properly selected equipment can simultaneously address serious water quality issues while transforming these areas into stunning focal points. The return on investment becomes evident within weeks as maintenance costs drop and usage of these areas increases dramatically."
The technical aspects of the Scott pond fountains feature the importance of customized solutions rather than one-size-fits-all approaches. Scott pond fountains offer incredible displays of high heights and widths using only ½-3 HP pumps, saving energy and expense at time of purchase. In addition, these fountains do not need to be removed during icy winters..
Fountain Mountain stocks and maintains a comprehensive inventory of Kasco fountains and related equipment, allowing for rapid deployment to sites experiencing acute water quality emergencies such as fish kills or harmful algal blooms. Modern Kasco fountains incorporate energy-efficient motors and programmable controls that significantly reduce operating costs compared to older technology. These improvements make professional-grade water features increasingly accessible to smaller properties and communities with limited maintenance budgets.
