Floating fountains can be found in a variety of public places—shopping malls, apartment communities, office complexes, etc. However, pond fountains are being installed more and more in backyard ponds, large lakes, retention ponds, and detention ponds to beautify as well as improve water quality throughout the Akron, Ohio and Canton, Ohio areas. In fact, most experts encourage the use of such fountains in residential applications as they help to improve aeration, which then improves the entire pond/lake ecosystem. Many homeowners throughout the Stark County, Ohio; Portage County, Ohio; and Medina County, Ohio areas have installed their own decorative pond fountains after getting the necessary supplies from Hoffman’s WATER X SCAPES Garden Center. Not only can this Summit County, Ohio establishment provide you with the tools you need to get good aeration in your pond, but they can also recommend floating fountain lighting in order to make your pond more pleasing to the eye after sunset.
Most people assume that decorative pond fountains are only there for looks. While this may be true in some cases, floating fountains can actually benefit the pond ecosystem in a number of different ways. Fountains keep the water moving, which allows for greater oxygen production. Plus, constant movement of the water helps prevent thermal stratification (different temperature layers). The experts at Hoffman’s WATER X SCAPES Garden Center in Summit County can assess your pond, lake, retention pond, or detention pond and recommend the best fountain or aeration system for your application.
In addition to boosting oxygen levels in your pond, floating fountains can also help control pond scum (floating algae) and duck weed. The moving water pushes certain types of algae (water meal and duck weed)to the side of the pond, making removal or treatment much easier.
Finally, there’s the simple fact that pond fountains can turn an otherwise boring pond in your Stark County, Portage County, or Medina County backyard into a beautiful water feature. Hoffman’s WATER X SCAPES Garden Center carries a wide range of Airmax® Ecoseries™, Matala®, OASE®, and Kasco® products, so you can choose the pattern you like best. Plus, Hoffman’s also offers floating fountain lighting to really make your pond stand out.
Needless to say, adding a floating fountain to the pond in your Akron, Ohio or Canton, Ohio backyard is a wise choice, particularly if you’re concerned that it’s not getting enough aeration. The folks at Hoffman’s WATER X SCAPES Garden Center of Summit County, Ohio would be happy to provide you with additional information about installing and caring for your new pond fountain, as well as choosing the right floating fountain lighting. As soon as you have the opportunity, be sure to take the short trip from your Stark County, Ohio; Portage County, Ohio; or Medina County, Ohio home to Hoffman’s WATER X SCAPES Garden Center so you can talk to a knowledgeable associate about decorative pond fountains.
