While there's no denying the seductive beauty and allure of water, these qualities become even greater when it's moving. Therefore, choosing a sparkling, dancing fountain for your water garden will likely be a priority.
Little Giant offers a myriad of different fountain nozzles and spray patterns, most of which are identified here:
All of these fountains require a submersible pump. Little Giant offers a complete line of submersible pumps designed to operate safely and silently while completely submerged in your pond. The size of the pump you will need will depend largely on how high you want your fountain to be and how much water you will need to circulate.
For this reason, it is important to know the gallon capacity of your pond. The water in a basic pond should be turned at least once an hour, which means a 500 gallon pond should have at least a 500 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) pump. To calculate the gallons in your pond, follow this formula: Length x Width x Depth x 7.5 = Gallons.
Example: 4'L x 6'W x 1.5'D x 7.5 = 270 Gallons
The overall shape, height and diameter of your fountain is dependent upon two important factors: the size of the pump and the design of the fountain nozzle. Below, you will find a convenient chart that will help you determine the combination that's right for your particular water garden project.
