Fountain Design & Install

Choosing a decorative fountain can be an overwhelming task for many individuals. There are many items to consider when designing and ordering fountains and components. Wisconsin Lake & Pond Resource LLC will go through the many options available and make recommendations through the process.  Our staff is experienced in designing fountain packages for many applications including:

We utilize 1/4 hp up to 25 hp motors depending on the location, client request, operating costs, and performance requirements. The following is a list of questions to consider:

1. How tall and wide should the desired spray pattern be and what nozzle will provide the desired pattern?
2. How much horsepower will be required to obtain the desired spray pattern?
3. How much will it cost to operate the fountain and is that within the operational budget?
4. How much will it cost to maintain the fountain and is that within the operational budget?
5. Do you want lights on the fountain? How many and what wattage? How far will the primary viewing distance be?
6. What electrical requirements are needed to operate the desired fountain including lights?
7. Should the cable be protected from muskrats and other rodents?
8. Is the pond deep enough to support the fountain?
9. Will excessive debris in the pond cause continual plugging of the intake screens?
10. If multiple fountains are utilized, can a custom control panel be used?
