What size fountain does a golf course pond need?

Roughly 1 HP per acre is the standard starting point for water quality; a signature-hole display is often sized one step up for visual impact. Fountain Depot sizes units to your pond's exact dimensions at no charge.

Fountain or aerator for an irrigation pond?

Choose a surface aerator or diffused aeration when the goal is water quality and algae control; choose a decorative fountain when the pond is also a visual feature. Aerating fountains like the Kasco VFX split the difference.

Do we need three-phase power?

Not necessarily. Kasco's 3.1 and 5.1 models deliver 3–5 HP on standard single-phase 240V, which suits rural courses without three-phase service.

Who services the equipment after installation?

Fountain Depot is an authorized Kasco repair shop based in Markham, Ontario, serving the GTA in person and supporting courses across Canada with parts and replacement motors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Magnetic drive vs. direct drive - which type do I need?

Magnetic drive pumps (like the Pondmaster Pond-Mag series) are oil-free, fish-safe, energy-efficient, and ideal for continuous-duty filtration and fountain applications. Direct drive and Hy-Drive pumps (like the PROLINE series) deliver more pressure at height and handle debris better, making them the choice for waterfalls and solids-heavy ponds.

How do I size a pump for my pond or waterfall?

Circulate your pond's full volume at least once every 2 hours. For waterfalls, allow roughly 100-150 GPH per inch of spillway width, then account for head height (vertical lift) which reduces delivered flow. Check each pump's performance curve for flow at your specific head height.

Do you carry replacement parts for these pumps?

Yes - we stock genuine replacement impellers, pump covers, and pre-filters for the Pondmaster Pond-Mag line. A worn impeller is a $20-30 fix that restores like-new flow.

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship across Canada from stock. Delivery typically takes 3 to 5 business days depending on your province.
