FS01 110V, 1 HP, Large Pond Floating Fountain, Oil Free Pump 13000 GPH with 100’ Cord, Two Spray Patterns Included

This fountain was easy to assemble by myself, inside my air conditioned house, on the kitchen island (I put down a layer of cardboard to protect the counter surface. My wife liked that idea) so there was no sweating by the pond, with all the parts spread out on the ground. I used a garden cart to carry it down to the pond from the house (but if you have a 12 year+ child, get them to help you carry it). The two 70' guy wires and 100' electric cord make a great anchoring trio. I was able to attach each to a tree instead of using the stakes provided. This provided a very secure placement. It is easy to adjust the placement by tightening and loosening the guy wires. I discovered my pond is about 6' deep in the middle. I secured the guy wires temporarily to nearby trees, waded with the unit into 4' water, then waded back to shore to move the wires to different trees to adjust the position. I didn't use a boat, just waded in creek shoes and jeans. IMPORTANT NOTE: the bottom was muddier and thicker than I anticipated, and if you lose your balance because your weight shifts and you can't move your feet quick enough to maintain your balance in the muck, YOU WILL DROWN IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING TO HANG ON TO. It's a matter of the water being too deep for you to push up from the bottom with your arms. So have a friend with you and DON'T LET GO OF THE FLOATING UNIT if you start to fall; consider bringing a long stick to help you keep or regain your balance. And don't forget the friend! The fountain worked perfectly on the first try, and it was easy to adjust the placement by moving the wires to different trees. The fountain is large and beautiful, and the first day it began improving the water in my pond! I would definitely buy this product again. NOTE: While the directions are common sense, the English was written by someone who was not a native speaker and their spell-checker did not correct the errors, so you will need to read and decipher the directions a couple of times to make sure you understand everything. ALSO, the directions call for a hex Allen wrench. You don't need an Allen wrench; you need two socket wrenches. And it would be a good idea to buy 8 large washers to place on each end of the four bolts that hold the float plate in place. While this might be unnecessary, it is a good idea. ONE MORE NOTE: if you have a magnet on a telescoping rod, bring it with you to the pond. if you drop a metal part in the water, it will be a lot easier to find!

The HQUA-FS01 110V Floating Pond Fountain is a fantastic product for anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and aeration to their large pond. We are very happy with it! The powerful 1/2HP motor and 13000 GPH pump deliver impressive water flow, creating beautiful and dramatic displays that not only enhance the visual appeal of your pond but also help to improve water circulation and oxygenation. The two included spray patterns, a wide 32'x12' and a taller 18'x6', offer great versatility, allowing you to easily switch up the look of your fountain to suit your preference or the specific occasion. With a generous 100-foot power cord, you have plenty of flexibility in placing the fountain exactly where you want it. Overall, this fountain is an excellent choice we’ve made that combines robust performance with stunning aesthetics, making it a truly worthwhile investment for us for sure.

We have had our fountain and lights up and running for one week now. They were very easy to put together and they must’ve improved the instructions because we thought they were really good. It works great and has helped clear up our pond very well. He feel it was a very good purchase and value for the money. It seems to be very well made too.

What can I say, first part of buying off Amazon is if it delivers undamaged and it works once assembled. So far so good. Bought to aerate my pond and provide some aesthetics. Assembly took me about an hour. Definitely a two man job getting it out into the tank because of the 100’ cords for fountain and lights. You need to think ahead and arrange everything in your little boat how it is going to come off in the water. Also you need someone on-shore feeding you the cords as you row out. The directions for the timers are not the greatest but pretty simple technology. Only time will tell if it lasts. My other DYI fountains would only last about a year at a time so hopefully this will last a lot longer with some nice aesthetics to boot.

This is a very well made fountain. It works very well. Looks great at night, quite stunning in fact. The only issue I had were the instructions, which would be difficult to follow for many non mechanically inclined. The explanation and installation of spray pattern nozzle and gasket was not clear. I am extremely mechanically skilled and was able to figure, build and install this quite easily however. You must go to Youtube to learn how to program the timers, not included in the instructions, and even that is not all inclusive, especially how to put it into the auto mode. Another issue, the lights were not working. I took the control box apart and found one wire had fallen out of the connection module, had to use small reg. screwdriver to reinstall, then it worked fine. Not difficult, just had to open the box and see the wire hanging out. Overall, have your handyman(woman) put this together and install. Its well made and works wonderful. Update: after several weeks of using the fountain, my pond is now clearing up nicely. So far so good, it comes on when programmed, looks beautiful (especially with the lights!) and is clearing my pond. All for under a grand!

The unit comes with two head patterns. The unit is decent, but it's not hard to add more spray patterns (heads). I may end up 3D printing different ones. The unit is consuming 700 watts. I feel it's a little much considering the amount of water that's being sprayed. The unit has been working for over a month and it's been solid so far!

very easy to work with

I thought I was buying a simple pond fountain. You know, to make the water look fancy, maybe impress a frog or two. What I got instead was a life-altering aquatic experience that has utterly transformed my pond—and possibly my entire identity. Before: sad, stagnant water. Frogs looked mildly disappointed. Ducks didn’t even make eye contact. My fish were holding tiny protest signs demanding better conditions. After: Absolute aquatic euphoria. This fountain burst forth like the finale of a Vegas water show and whispered, “You are now the ruler of a magical kingdom.” Birds started harmonizing. Neighbors stopped by with offerings. A turtle stood up on two legs and gave me a slow clap. I swear I heard the opening notes of a movie soundtrack every time the fountain kicked on. And let me tell you—it’s not just a fountain. It’s a statement. A declaration that mediocrity has been banished and drama reigns supreme. My pond now looks like it’s about to host an enchanted party with fairies and swans in formalwear. This fountain didn’t just change the water. It changed me. 10/10. Would dramatically transform my backyard again, and my life. P.S. Get the light kit, your wife will thank you.
