How do I build a pond fountain?

A pond fountain is a lovely addition to any garden pond, adding the sight and sound of cascading water which also helps to circulate and oxygenate the water.  Here's how to create a fountain display in your pond.

• Measure the pond width, length and depth and record this information.
• Select a dedicated Fountain Pump which is designed for your pond size.
• Ensure you have a weatherproof electrical point within reach of the pump cable length.
• Submerse the pump in the desired location in the pond.
• Adjust the riser pipe or lift the pump up so the nozzle attachment is just out of water.
• Connect the pump to the electrical socket and test the fountain.
• Adjust the display height using the in-build water flow regulator.

With any mains electrical equipment installation, always employ the services of a qualified electrician.
