Fountains & Aerators
Display Fountains
Decorative fountains are primarily for display. They provide a limited amount of aeration. Most manufacturers offer a variety of spray patterns and pump sizes. Lighting kits can add even more enhancement to the fountain display at night. Best pick for consumers that are interested mostly in a visual display.
Surface Aerators
Surface aerators provide both display and aeration. Although not as efficient as bottom air diffusers, they will provide a moderate amount of oxygen exchange. These are the tool of choice for emergency aeration during an active fish kill. The visual appearance varies from a heavy churning to an elevated spray pattern. Best pick for those who would like both aeration and a visual feature.
