Throughout history, Tiered Fountains have been incorporated into many cultures of life for their functional benefits as well as for their alluring appeal.

The sights and sounds of running water cascading over the surfaces of a Tiered Fountain captivates our imagination.

Rays of sunlight accentuate the different elements of the fountain, while the dancing beams of light produced by the moving water lodges our senses in a hypnotic state, urging us to reach out and touch the water.

Why Aluminum?

  • Will not rust in water.
    What else is there to say?
  • Year round operation.
    (Don't even     think about doing this with concrete)
  • Lightweight
    (makes my back happy. :)

Our Tiered Fountain pieces are pre-piped prior to shipping. They will not corrode (like iron) or disintegrate (like concrete) due to submersion in water. Some fountain supply companies knowingly sell their fountains in an inoperable condition with no piping up through the middle of the fountain piece.

Our Tiered Fountain pieces are finished with a marine grade sprayed on epoxy finish which is designed for submerged applications.

When an aluminum Tiered Fountain piece is coupled with a fiberglass pool as the basin, you now have the most durable and non-corrosive components that the fountain industry has to offer. This setup would insure you many years of dependability.

There's no question that aluminum is the superior product for a Tiered Fountain, but go here for a quick comparison between the 3 most popular materials used in making Tiered Fountains.

 

Why Fiberglass?

  • Non Corrosive
    Fiberglass pools are non-corrosive unlike the "horse trough galvanized steel" types of pools that many other vendors will try to sell you with their Tiered Fountain pieces.
  • Easy installations
    Pick a spot and drop it in place. No backfill or additional support in needed.
    (Penetration kits are available for water fill lines, drains and electrical connections)
  • Durability
    Pound for pound the strongest man-made material on earth.
  • Lifetime warranty (Residential customers)
    Guaranteed to Residential customers for the life of the pool against cracks and leaks.
  • Year round operation (no need to drain)
    Fiberglass pools expand with the freezing water.
  • Depth
    Deeper pool basins give you more freedom to incorporate lights, larger pumps, and additional Options into your fountain project. Fountains with greater depths potentially have longer intervals between water fillings. A large percentage of our pools are 18" deep.
  • Custom capabilities
    Custom Fountains Inc. has over 90 standard pool sizes with the capabilities of manufacturing any shapes or sizes to meet your project needs.
  • Ease of cleaning and maintaining
    In most situations simply drain the pool and hose down the sides for effective cleaning.
  • Modular Construction
    All of our fiberglass pools over 8' in diameter, are made modular for shipping purposes.     Pictured below is an illustration of a 12 piece 20 foot diameter modular fiberglass pool with overlapping flanges.

**OUR FIBERGLASS POOLS ARE GUARANTEED FOR LIFE AGAINST CRACKING AND LEAKING TO ALL RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS**

 

Fiberglass Pools make installations a breeze. They can be placed above ground or underground and require no backfill. Installing penetrations like a water fill line, electrical conduit, and drains are simple and straightforward procedures. The smooth and shiny inside finish of a fiberglass pool makes for a quick and easy cleaning when it comes time for cleaning.

The most common flaw encountered when designing a fountain is the improper sizing of the tub /basin /pool. Having a pool that is sized too small for the water action will have an excessive amount of "Splash Out" and will drain the pool quickly. Adding a slight breeze to the equation only compounds your water loss.

When sizing a fountain to a pool or basin, it's important to remember that water has the ability to splash the distance it falls up to about 8 feet. Go here for a very simple basin sizing formula that will aid you in your battle to control "Splash Out" from your system.
