The Font`N-Aire Ready 1HP fountain line has four major components:
FLOAT – constructed of rugged polyethylene molded plastic with UV inhibitors and filled with nonhygroscopic pressure molded polystyrene foam.
POWER DRIVE ASSEMBLY – mounting structure (drive structure assembly), pump/propeller, nozzle and motor.
The ELECTRICAL SERVICE CABLE ASSEMBLY includes a 100’ length of AWG# 12/4 submersible cable and a convenient submersible quick disconnect connector for plugging into the fountain.
The CONTROLS consist of a 24-hour time clock with off/on trippers, a Franklin Electric start and run QD capacitor box, and an inline ELCI ground fault protector. These components come prewired and mounted on a 16” x 14” plate. Air-O-Lator uses the Franklin Electric 600M submersible motor exclusively for all fountain lines. This motor is water-cooled, lubricated, and designed for lake and pond applications, ensuring environmental safety.
The CENTRIFUGAL PUMP DISPLAY FOUNTAIN has a unique center discharge pump design. It keeps the shaft and discharge vertical, concentrating the fountain’s weight in the float’s center. This design makes installation and removal easy without special brackets or hardware.
Furthermore, our centrifugal pump design produces high pressure. It creates impressive heights and displays while using less horsepower than other fountains. However, it’s important to note that this fountain is purely for aesthetics. The volume of water pumped into the air is not enough for oxygen transfer and doesn’t meet Air-O-Lator’s standards.
