New Water feature

A new water feature in the form of a fountain has been installed in the lake at Capel Manor Gardens. The fountain not only provides beauty; it also serves to clean water naturally by adding oxygen as it moves.

The 34" (0.8636 metres) diameter float gives it stability in the water and the droplets distributed through the air by the fountain dissolves oxygen as it falls causing a process called aeration. The cascading sprays create waves as they impact the water surface. These waves mix and circulate water as they head towards shore. The net affect is a healthy; naturally balance body of water.

Dissolved oxygen produced by aeration helps clean up algae
and other aquatic weeds.
