Should I choose a pond aerator or a decorative fountain?

If oxygen and water quality are the priority, choose a surface aerator such as the Display Fountain Aerator, North Star or Boilermaker, or a subsurface diffuser system for deeper water. If visual impact is the priority, a decorative pond fountain adds aeration near the surface while creating a spray pattern. Many commercial properties combine both.

When is subsurface aeration better than a surface aerator?

Subsurface diffuser systems release air at the pond bottom and circulate the entire water column, which makes them well suited to deeper ponds and lakes, irregular shapes, and sites where a visible spray is not wanted. Surface aerators move large volumes of water at the top and are often preferred in shallower ponds.
