What it does and why you need it Improves water circulation to prevent stagnation and reduce surface temperature, keeping pool water cleaner and more comfortable. Creates an adjustable decorative waterfall/spray that also increases oxygenation and surface turnover. Key features Adjustable spray direction and height — aim and tilt the Lotus pool fountain to direct flow where you want it. Up to 5 m spray height depending on the water pump used; a larger pump produces a stronger, taller spray. Compatible with most 1.5" threaded return fittings for simple, direct installation. Suitable for gardens, above-ground and in-ground swimming pools, ponds and other small water features. Performance and compatibility Spray performance scales with pump capacity: low-flow pumps provide gentle circulation and a modest waterfall; higher-flow pumps deliver stronger, higher spray patterns (up to about 5 m). Designed to fit the common 1.5" return plumbing standard so it integrates into existing pool systems without special adaptors. Installation (quick, tool-minimal) 1. Turn off your pool pump. 2. Unscrew and remove the existing rear return fitting. 3. Connect the fountain to the return outlet. 4. Turn the pump back on and adjust spray direction and flow to suit your preference. Practical use scenarios Backyard in-ground pool: lower surface temperature and create a gentle waterfall for improved comfort during hot weather. Above-ground or family pool: increase circulation to reduce algae buildup and keep water clearer between chemical treatments. Garden pond or ornamental water feature: add visual movement and aeration to support aquatic life and improve water quality. Why it stands out Simple retrofit for standard pool returns, giving immediate circulation and aesthetic benefits without major plumbing changes. Adjustable output allows you to balance visual effect with functional circulation based on the pump you use. Notes and tips Spray height and pattern depend on pump size and available flow; test settings after installation and adjust pump or nozzle angle as needed. Always turn off the pump before making plumbing changes.
