Adding a pond fountain to your existing pond can add a lot of benefits to your pond and to your home. A pond fountain can act as an aerator if your pond contains fish. It can help to move water for filtration or cleaning. It can also add to the appeal of your yard and home as well as add to the value of your home. A pond fountain will bring a bit of tranquil serenity to your yard.

A pond fountain evokes images of the peacefully splashing fountains of the old world, of water nymphs and romantic visions culled straight out of mythology. Of Narcissus dreaming on the water’s edge as he gazes at his reflection in a shimmering, reed lined pond. Glittering fish glide beneath lily pads as dragonflies swoop to snatch up smaller insect.

The pond fountain is a symbol of not only peace and quiet luxury, but also of affluence and success. A pond fountain can be the highlight of your property and can enhance the beauty and value of your home as well as provide a peaceful backdrop to cool mornings or lazy afternoons in the yard. Picture yourself reading in a lawn chair or lazing in a hammock as the sounds of a pattering fountain play in the background.

Fountains have their origins in the springs and pools where early men and women retrieved their water. In Roman society, the end-works of the aqueduct was marked by elaborate basins and sculptures, signifying and symbolizing the so-called ‘font of life’, the spring. In fact, the fountain itself can be seen as an embodiment of the Fountain of Life, the baptismal font of rebirth, or the Fountain of Youth, where a person’s youth is restored upon drinking from its waters.
