Custom Pro FT Series Floating Fountain Kit

The primary difference is the flow rate and power consumption. The FT-3500 moves 3,500 gallons per hour at 300 watts, while the FT-6000 moves 6,000 gallons per hour at 660 watts, making the latter better suited for larger ponds requiring more aggressive aeration.

Yes, this is a complete DIY kit that includes the pump, the 28-inch float, nozzle attachments, and an anchoring rope. You will only need to provide basic tools for assembly and ensure you have a compatible outdoor electrical outlet nearby.

The kit includes an anchoring rope designed to secure the float in place. You can attach this rope to a weight or stake at the bottom of your pond to prevent the fountain from drifting toward the shoreline.

The integrated stainless steel mesh prefilter is designed to minimize maintenance by blocking debris. Depending on the amount of organic matter and algae in your pond, you should inspect the intake periodically and clear away any buildup to ensure consistent water flow.

It is generally recommended to remove the fountain from the water if you live in an area where the pond surface freezes. Ice can damage the pump and the float assembly, so storing it indoors during the winter months will help extend the life of your equipment.

The polyethylene float assembly is backed by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty. The pump itself is covered by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
