Fountains and Aerators are very beneficial to all aquatic life, they help replenish the supply of oxygen which usually is lacking in stagnant ponds. The circulation of water helps in the process of destratification, or helps breakup the column of water in the pond (normally the upper 4-6 feet) where most of the algae growth begins. Fountains and Aerators help to eliminate odors and other pests that are normally found with stagnant water.

The Eco Series pump assembly is very energy efficient (750 watts). On average, and running continuously, these units remain under $1 per day within a 24 hour period to operate. Figure your costs by clicking this link to calculators.

The common 15 amp/120 volt breaker is sufficient for the Eco Series unit.

NOTE: A GFCI breaker in the panel would be our recommendation. GFCI protection is standard on all of our 120 volt fountains/aerators.

We protect all of our 120 volt fountains/aerators with ground fault protection (GFCI). We would recommend additional GFCI breakers be installed in the electrical panel by a licensed electrician.

NOTE: AS WITH ANYTHING MECHANICAL FAILURES DO OCCUR,, WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE SWIM IN WATER WITH THE FOUNTAIN/AERATOR RUNNING. THESE UNITS SHOULD NOT BE USED IN WATERS FREQUENTED BY SWIMMERS UNLESS THEY ARE UNPLUGGED AT THE POWER SOURCE.

A standard depth of 4' or more is required for the Eco Series to operate correctly. A shallow configuation is available for depths of 18" up to 4' at no additional charge. The Eco Series can be built, upon request, to allow for a deeper draw.

No, the Eco Series is oil-free and the motor is totally water-cooled.

No, all of our fountains/aerators are pre-wired and almost 100% pre-assembled. Adding the float is usually the only assembly necessary.

There are TWO methods utilized in the floating and placement of a fountain or aerator:

1. This unit may be anchored to the bottom of the pond utilizing two concrete blocks and rope (nylon is preferred) using a boat drop each concrete block with rope attached fifteen to twenty feet in each direction from the location of the float to prevent spinning while in operation. Ropes are then tied to stainless eyes under the float or through holes molded into the Eco Series float. (This is preferred if you have a lot of activity in the pond/lake.)
2. The second method is to moor the unit to shore, with what we call "dog stakes" or spiral eyes threaded into the ground. We recommend you thread these in just under the waterline and in an area you won't forget. Use either 1/16" stainless steel cable or a dark nylon rope. Once tied off to the float, pull in place and tie or strap to the "spiral eyes" under the waterline. This method makes retrieving the unit much simpler.

Storage of the Eco Series and Eco Jr. is very simple once out of the water and sprayed clean for the season. The Eco Series and Eco Jr. can be stored sitting right-side-up, on its base. We would recommend removing the float so it is not too top heavy. The unit should be kept from freezing and thawing, a controlled temperature is best if possible.

Yes, As described in the Eco Jr Overview, we offer both a two (2) and three (3) light low voltage systems for our Eco fountains. Both types are built for simple installation for adding later.

The most common cause for a float to sit un-level in the water is that the power cord has not been given enough slack to relax in the water, thus pulling the fountain/aerator to one side. Another reason is that usually when anchoring the fountain/aerator with concrete blocks, one side is too tight and actually pulling one side down in the water. Both of these problems are easily remedied.

The ECO Series 1/2 HP 220V pump assembly is very energy efficient (225 watts). On average, and running continuously, these units remain around $.50 per day operating for a 24 hour period. Figure your costs by clicking this link to calculators.

The common 20 amp/200 volt breaker is sufficient for the Eco Series, 200V unit.
