WHAT IS A FLOATING AERATOR
FOUNTAIN?
The Water Filtration Company Floating Aerator Fountains (FAF-2000, FAF-5000 &
FAF-S-50) consist of a self-contained submersible pump with heavy duty float and fountain
nozzles. The three different models produce an impressive fountain display ranging from 8
to 25 feet high. See the following specifications.
FAF-2000.1/4 HP.40 GPM.8-10 ft. Display....l20 volt
FAF-5000. 1/2 HP..70 GPM.10-15 ft. Display....l20 volt
FAF-S-50. 1/2 HP.50 GPM High Pressure.15-25 ft. Display 120/240 volt
These units provide effective, cost-efficient aeration and algae control, not to mention
visual effects, on ponds up to 1 acre in size. Underwater light kits are also available.
All components are manufactured from high quality fiberglass, stainless steel, and PVC
plastic. The floats carry a 5 year warranty; and all pumps carry a 2 year warranty. All
units include 90 ft. of water resistant power cord, a 20 ft. anchor rope, and 2, 3, or 4
(depending on model) interchangeable fountain nozzles.
WHY AERATE THE WATER?
Aeration produces oxygen-rich water. This oxygen-rich water is essential to the ecological
balance of the pond or lake, and to the survival of fish and other pond life. Several
factors combine to reduce the oxygen level, such as drought, prolonged periods of overcast
skies without rain, large amounts of decaying organic matter, and heavy ice and snow
cover. Any of these can result in partial or total fish kill.
HOW DOES AERATION AFFECT ALGAE GROWTH?
Our Floating Aerator Fountains provide an economical and attractive way to aerate and help
control algae on ponds up to 1 acre. Aeration slows the growth of certain types of algae.
The constant mixing and rippling of the water surface diffuses the sunlight and makes it
more difficult for algae to spread.
WHAT ARE OTHER BENEFITS OF AERATION?
Aeration improves color, taste and odor in pond or lake water. This makes the water more
suitable for domestic use. Aeration also increases the microbial activity, speeding the
decay of organic matter such as leaves, and reducing the likelihood of “black”
or stained water.
ARE THE AERATOR FOUNTAINS EASY TO INSTALL?
Yes. The FAF-2000 comes fully assembled. The FAF-5000 and
FAF-S-50 require only minor hand assembly (no tools required). Simply select and thread-on
a fountain nozzle, float the unit to the desired location in the pond, anchor into
position with the anchor rope supplied, and plug-in to the power supply. All 120 volt
models include a three-prong electric plug. 240 volt models require
electrical connection to a remote switch or breaker box.
Optional Light kits
The FAF-2000 is designed to utilize model L-2000-2 Two Light Kit. The FAF-5000 and
FAF-S-50 utilize model L-5000-4 Four Light Kit. These light kits come pre-wired with 90
ft. of underwater power cord and require only a 120 volt AC power source. The lights
themselves are low voltage. The light kits include all necessary mounting hardware and
require only a screwdriver for installation. Each light includes four interchangeable
colored lens.
