Fountains become more beautiful, the better they harmonise with the size of the garden pond. This is particularly true for high-flying water patterns. A fountain should not exceed a height where the water may not land completely in the pond. The influence of shifting winds should be taken into consideration. Rule of thumb: maximum fountain height equals the minimum distance to the nearest pond edge. All Aquarius Fountain Sets are capable of manual flow control and all models include a regulated secondary outlet for optional connection to a watercourse or waterfall.
The Aquarius Fountain Sets 1000 - 3500 are supplied with 3 different fountain nozzles. The chart below gives the fountain pattern dimensions for each pump and nozzle combination | | | |
