Hey! Great question — I added a floating fountain to my pond a while back and it’s one of the best upgrades I’ve made.

For a 1,500-gallon pond, you’ll want something compact but effective. A floating pond aerator is ideal because it not only adds visual appeal but also helps with water circulation and oxygen levels, which keeps fish and plants healthy.

I’d recommend looking for features like:

Adjustable spray patterns (so you can fine-tune the look and splash radius)

Optional LED lighting (adds a nice touch at night)

Eco-friendly, oil-free motors

Submersible ones are quieter and work well in small, shallow ponds, but they don’t offer the same surface display or aeration power. Personally, I prefer the floating kind — more dynamic and easier to maintain.

Hope this helps! Happy pondscaping.
