At Head Squared Aquatics, we understand there's often confusion around the different types of fountains and their purpose, particularly when it comes to ornamental fountains, aerating fountains, and lake aerators. Here's a simple breakdown to help you choose the right feature for your waterbody.
Lake Aerators
These are designed for function. A lake aerator moves a large volume of water to increase oxygen levels, improve water circulation, and promote overall water health. They're not built to be decorative, they're workhorses for your pond or lake.
Aerating Fountains
Offering the best of both worlds, aerating fountains combine functionality with a visually pleasing display. They provide essential aeration and water movement while delivering an attractive fountain effect.
Ornamental Fountains
These are purely about visual impact. Ornamental fountains create stunning water patterns—tall sprays, wide fans, elegant cascades. They captivate onlookers and elevate the appearance of any lake or pond, but they offer limited benefit in terms of water health or oxygenation.

Why Choose an Ornamental Fountain?

Ornamental fountains serve a powerful purpose: they attract attention and spark joy. Whether installed in a private estate, public park, or commercial landscape, they become a visual centrepiece that draws people to the water.
Imagine a fountain that pulls children away from their screens and into the outdoors, encouraging exploration and connection with nature. The fine mist they emit acts like a natural beacon, inviting birds, insects, and other wildlife to your aquatic space.
There's also something deeply primal and universal about our fascination with moving water. Like the glow of a barbecue or the crackle of a campfire, fountains tap into an ancient part of the human experience.
With years of experience in lake aeration and fountain installation, we still get a thrill every time we see a well-designed water feature in action. For the ultimate combination of water quality and visual appeal, we may recommend a setup that includes both functional aerators and a striking central ornamental fountain.
Whether you're looking to enhance your lake's beauty, improve water quality, or simply create a wow factor that delights visitors, Head Squared Aquatics can help.
