Things to Watch for When Buying a Floating Pond Fountain
Through the years we have watched as companies make claims to all kinds of miraculously cheap fountains with impossible-to-believe horsepower ratings. Here are some things to ask yourself before buying a cheap pond fountain:
Is the pump UL or ETL- approved? Or is this pump only approved for use outside the U.S.? If lights with transformers are offered, is the transformer UL-approved?
How difficult is the warranty process? If you must ship back to the manufacturer, is the manufacturer in the U.S., or do you have to ship to another country?
If LED lights are using a controller to program lights, is the housing approved for outdoor use or must it be stored inside a home or barn?
How did the company calculate horsepower? We have seen claims of up to one-half horsepower for a pump that uses only 300 watts of electricity. How is that possible? On what planet does that occur?
How about the size of the nozzle? We have seen pumps advertised with 10,000 gallons per hour flow using nozzles that are only 1 1/2" wide is size. These nozzles have holes in them, of course, to create a pattern (the fountain shape). We estimate that in some cases the nozzles are restricting the flow of these pumps to about 1,500 gallons per hour. For bigger pumps, bigger nozzles ought to be used.
