Signature-hole display fountains and irrigation-pond aeration for golf courses across Canada - sized to your pond, with single-phase options for rural courses without three-phase service.
A pond that feeds the irrigation system is equipment, not scenery.
Fertilizer runoff off the fairways and greens ends up in it all season. That nutrient load feeds algae and aquatic weeds, degrades the water you pump, and eventually shows up on the intake screen. Circulation and oxygen are what protect the pond as an irrigation asset — the display, if the hole warrants one, comes off the same unit.
We size the system before we quote it — against your actual surface area, average depth and distance to power. Free, and no obligation.
Play-side detail settled up front — spray pattern and height set against prevailing wind and drift onto turf, and the sight line from the back tee checked before anyone commits to a plume.
We service what we sell. Authorized Kasco dealer and certified repair centre in Markham, so the unit you pull before freeze-up has somewhere to go if it doesn't restart in spring.
A real number back, usually within one business day. Not a brochure, and not a "starting from" range.

Most suppliers in this category send you to a contact page and go quiet. Here is exactly what we do instead.
STEP 01
You tell us about the water
Surface area, average depth, and how far the pond sits from power. If you don't have the numbers, a satellite screenshot of the hole and a photo from the tee are usually enough for us to work from.
STEP 02
We size the system, free
We match horsepower and pattern to the pond, check what service is actually at the water's edge, and flag the things that cause trouble later — drift onto a green, a cable run that won't reach, a plume that sits in the line from the back tee.
STEP 03
You get a real quote in one business day
Specific models, cord lengths, control panel and lighting, delivered pricing in CAD. The documentation a superintendent needs to put a purchase in front of a GM or a green committee.
The cost of leaving it
What a course pond is up against
Most course ponds do two jobs at once: they hold irrigation water and they sit in play. Left still, they get worse at both, and the irrigation side usually degrades before anyone complains about the view.
Nutrient load off the turf
Irrigation ponds collect fertilizer runoff from fairways and greens. That feeds algae and aquatic weeds, and a still pond has no way of working through it on its own.
Algae reaching the intake
Filamentous mats and suspended algae end up on intake screens and filters. Moving the water column keeps growth from concentrating in the part of the pond you draw from.
Anaerobic water at the bottom
A pond that stratifies goes anaerobic near the bottom, builds muck and starts to smell — noticeable around the clubhouse, and it is the same water you put back on the turf.
How we size it
Three facts decide almost everything
Have these ready and we can usually specify a system the same day. Don't have them? Send photos and we'll work it out from there.
Surface area
In acres, or feet by feet. As a starting point we plan roughly 1 HP of fountain or aerator per acre for water-quality goals; a signature-hole display is often sized up past that for the visual.
Average depth
Decides whether a surface unit or bottom diffused aeration is the right approach, and how much of the water column you will actually turn over.
Distance to power
From the water's edge to the nearest panel, and what service is there — 120V, 240V or three-phase. This sets cable length and panel spec, and on a course it often sets the location too.
A few things are specific to courses. Rural sites often assume 3 to 5 HP of aeration means bringing in three-phase service: Kasco's 3.1 and 5.1 models run on standard single-phase 240V, and the three-phase 3.3 and 5.3 include a CA-3235 control panel where you do have it. Spray pattern and height are worth setting against prevailing wind so the plume isn't wetting a green or a bunker face, and against sight lines from the tee before the pattern is chosen rather than after. And everything comes out before freeze-up — fountains are pulled ahead of ice, which is a job to schedule rather than discover. Where you need open water through the winter, around a pump intake or a dock structure, that is a de-icer's job and not a fountain's.
For a signature hole or the clubhouse pond we specify Kasco J-Series multi-pattern fountains, which run from 3/4 HP to 7 HP with interchangeable spray patterns, or the AquaMaster Masters Series — patterns named Ace, Birdie, Par and Eagle, and a long-standing choice on large course ponds — with LED light kits for evening events and clubhouse dining views. Where water quality matters more than the look, a Kasco surface aerator moves the most water per horsepower, independently tested at up to 3.0 lbs of oxygen per horsepower-hour by Auburn University and ETL listed to UL and CSA standards; on deep irrigation ponds RobustAire diffused aeration works from the bottom up with the compressor onshore, so there is no electricity in the water. For open water through the winter, a Kasco de-icer holds it through Canadian conditions.

Ready for a number?
Send us the surface area, the average depth and the distance to power, and we'll come back with a specified system and real pricing. Free, no obligation, and usually within one business day.
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.
We size 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 to 5 HP on standard single-phase 240V.
That suits rural courses without three-phase service. Where three-phase exists, the 3.3 and 5.3 models include a CA-3235 control panel.
Who services the equipment after installation?
Fountain Depot is an authorized Kasco repair shop based in Markham, Ontario, serving the GTA in person.
Courses across Canada are supported with genuine parts and replacement motors.

I highly recommend the Fountain Depot. Ryan and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and timely. We sought a floating fountain and underwater lights for our client, and Ryan delivered precisely what our client was desiring. The Fountain Place continues to maintain the fountain, and we have had zero issues.
