Installation

Step 1: Ensure you have power close to your pond. If you don't, we recommend to ALWAYS use a licensed electrician to properly run power down to the pond.

Step 2: Choose your desired spray pattern. Note the classic pattern is already installed. However, the fountain includes two additional spray patterns (Crown & Trumpet and the Trumpet). Pick the one that best suits you or your special event. To change a pattern, place the included O-ring and desired spray pattern on top of the motor then secure it with the included nozzle nut.

Step 3: Assembling the unit: Lay the float flat on the ground with logo facing up. Place the fountain pump assembly into the center of the float. Lift the float straight up and ensure that the fountain pump lead power cord passes through the center hole. Gently lay the fountain to one side. Securely attach the power cord to the fountain pump lead quick disconnect. Attach the power cord strain relief to the loop underneath the float mount ring. Attach a mooring cable (Sold Separately) using two outside mounting locations on opposite sides of the float.

Step 4: Pick up the fountain by the float and place into the water. A minimum of 36" of water is required for proper operation.

Step 5: Anchoring the fountain. Tie one side of the mooring rope to a stake and place the stake securely into the ground. Take the other stake and mooring rope and walk around the pond, carefully pulling the fountain across the water. Once the fountain is in position, tie the 2nd mooring rope to the 2nd stake and place securely into the ground. Ensure both mooring ropes are snug to prevent the fountain from twisting and shifting during operation.

Step 6: Control Panel: We recommend using a licensed electrician to mount and install the control panel.

 

Recommend Fountain Accessories (sold separately)

 

• Purchase a Mooring Kit to anchor your fountain to prevent it from moving with the wind and waves.
• Keep your intake screen and motor clean with D-Scale Cleaner. Just spray on and wipe off any limescale, calcium or rust stains with a soft cloth.

Maintenance

Periodically clean fountain intake screen of debris, algae, or aquatic weeds.

Winter Removal & Storage

Remove the fountain and lights from the pond before the ice forms. This is the perfect time to clean any debris on the unit before storing it in an area above freezing temperatures.

FAQs

Which is the better Airmax ½ HP Fountain, PondSeries or EcoSeries?
Airmax 1/2 HP PondSeries Fountain out performs the EcoSeries in ponds with very poor water conditions.

What is the size comparison between the 3 PondSeries Fountains?

• 1/2 HP classic spray pattern = 5.5’ H x 13’ W
• 1 HP classic spray pattern = 9.5’ H x 23’ W
• 2 HP classic spray pattern = 14’ H x 28’ W

 

How do I select the proper size fountain for my pond?
The acreage size of the pond multiplied by 2 will give you the size horsepower required. Note: The shape of the pond may also need to be considered.

Below are a few examples on sizing:

• 1/2 acre circular shaped pond, 5’ deep requires 1 HP Fountain for proper aeration.
• 1/4 acre square shaped pond, 4’ deep requires 1/2 HP Fountain for proper aeration.
• 1/4 acre kidney shaped pond, 6’ deep requires two 1/2 HP Fountains for proper aeration.
• 1/2 acre circular shaped pond, 10’ deep will not have proper aeration with a fountain alone. We recommend and underwater Airmax PondSeries Aeration System instead.

The oil-free, water-cooled motor ensures maximum motor life and durability, reducing yearly maintenance costs and making cleaning easy with no seals to change. An oversized intake screen adds a layer of protection to prevent clogging leaving you with uninterrupted viewing enjoyment while providing your pond the benefit of aeration.

Airmax Control Panels have a fast-acting circuit breaker, which will shut off electrical power in the event of a ground fault. The (115 or 230-Volt/15 Amp) control panels are designed with 2 programmable 24-hour digital timers, so you can independently program your fountain and lights to run up to 8 times a day.

The PondSeries 1/2 HP pond water fountain comes standard with a 100' power cord, underwater quick disconnect and strain relief. The included strain relief cable attachment prevents the power cord from being damaged if the cord is snagged or tugged. Power cords are also available in: 150' and 200' lengths for the 115V motor and 150', 200', 250', 300', 350', 400', 450', 500', 550' and 600' lengths for the 230V motor.

All Airmax floating fountains and LED light sets come with a standard power cord, however, if you have nuisance pond wildlife like beavers or muskrats that are notorious for chewing, you may want to explore our cord protection options. Replacement cords can be expensive and time-consuming so investing in cord protection is a great insurance policy for your fountain. Airmax power cords can be wrapped with our durable PolyFlex protective sheathing, or if you are looking for something more substantial we highly recommend the stainless-steel option for the ultimate power cord protection.

Add excitement and entertainment during dark hours by bringing your fountain to life at night with the optional fountain lighting. The RGBW Color-Changing LED Light Sets can be purchased separately. The no-tools design lets you clip on 2, 4 or 8 light fixtures on your fountain float for a quick installation.
