Desert Rain® Onshore Fountains

The Onshore floating fountain is a good choice for fishing lakes, brackish water or any body of water in need of both circulation and aeration. The pump is mounted on dry land close to the shoreline, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The intake for the pump can be placed anywhere in the pond but is usually located at the deepest point. Water drawn from the bottom of the pond is then aerated as it is discharged through the fountain. No electrical cables are in the water unless the optional light kit is installed.

Onshore systems include a prewired control panel; dual compartment float; pump; choice of Stratus, Zephyr or Blazing Star solid brass display nozzle; mooring rope; stainless steel intake frame; 100' of fire hose for discharge; and 25' of suction hose for intake.

Optional light kits are matched to fountain size. Light kits include stainless steel adjustable brackets, two or four submersible cast bronze fixtures with clear lenses and 250-watt or 500-watt quartz lamps, 100' of power cable, timer and GFCI. Photo cell controls are prewired into control panel if lights are ordered with the fountain.

Please specifiy your available power, nozzle choice and desired cable/hose length when ordering. Additional power cable for lights is available. Additional suction and discharge hose available. Allow 10–14 days for delivery.
