Waterfalls, fountains, aerators… these are just a few examples of the water features for which pumps have been developed. In celebration of summer, we?EUR??,,????'???ve outlined some of the many pumps models created to beautify your waterscapes.

Display Aerators:

These dual-function aerators keep waterscapes clean and provide dazzling fountain effects. Lower-horespowered aerators can keep small ponds healthy, while high-horsepowered pumps can spray water up to 40 feet into the air! Cleaner water means healthier fish and less destructive pond algae.

Aeration (non-display)

Aerators and aspirators supply air to ponds by transferring oxygen from the surface, or by pumping air through diffusers on the bottom of the pond.

Pond/ Lake Pumps/Waterfalls

The large variety of pumps also accommodates smaller ponds and display waterfalls to lakes requiring the movement of large amounts of water.

Look in the Marketplace section of this magazine or in LCN?EUR??,,????'???s Buyer?EUR??,,????'???s Guide to find more pump manufacturers. The above statistics represent just a few of the hundreds of options on the market.

Talk about waterscaping! The world?EUR??,,????'???s largest igloo is the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarri, Sweden. This 43,055 square foot building is constructed every December by blasting 30,000 tons of snow into a molded, metal frame. Ten thousand tons of ice is cut from the Torne River into vast sheets and blocks to reinforce the casting. Sculptors keep busy carving beds, tables, windows, and chairs from the ice. The Ice Hotel melts in May.
