Vertex AerationJet Commercial Fountain
Anchor Your Lake with the Vertex AerationJet Commercial Floating Fountain
The Vertex AerationJet is a commercial-grade floating fountain for large lakes and ponds 2 acres and larger. Heavily aerated arching jets shoot up to 45 ft on the 30 HP unit and span up to a 40-ft diameter, with the outer streams creating a wide cone of mist that holds together in moderate wind. The result is the kind of fountain that anchors a corporate campus, golf course, HOA waterway, or commercial lake from the moment you turn it on.
Inside the float is a water-cooled and self-lubricated submersible turbine pump paired with a UL-listed control panel. No oils, no seals, and no annual maintenance kits - just water keeping the pump cool and quiet. The float is rotocast polyethylene with UV inhibitors and corrosion-resistant components throughout. Vertex backs every unit with a 4-year warranty on the pump, motor, float, and cable, 2 years on the optional LED lights, and 1 year on the control panel.
Pick from 10, 15, 20, or 30 HP. 10 and 15 HP are available in single-phase 230V or three-phase 460V; 20 and 30 HP are three-phase 460V only. Standard cord lengths are 100 ft (1-2 HP), 200 ft (all units), and 300 ft (20 and 30 HP); custom lengths available on request. Each fountain can ship with or without the 10-fixture LED lighting package - the lights mount inside the float and illuminate the spray after dark. Free shipping on every AerationJet.

Requirements & What to Know Before You Buy
- Pond Size: the AerationJet is designed for lakes and ponds 2 acres and larger. For smaller water bodies, consider the Vertex TriGeyser or one of the Kasco aerating fountains.
- Pond Depth: 6 ft minimum on the 10 HP, 7 ft on the 15 and 20 HP, and 8 ft on the 30 HP. Measure where the float will sit, not at the shoreline.
- Voltage and Phase Selection: 10 and 15 HP are available in 230V single-phase or 460V three-phase. 20 and 30 HP are 460V three-phase only. Three-phase is recommended wherever possible - smoother running and lower current draw.
- Dedicated Circuit: the included control panel needs a properly sized dedicated circuit. Confirm with a licensed electrician before install.
- Mooring: commercial fountains need anchoring. You supply anchors or weights sized to the float and water body. Vertex provides the float-side mooring attachment points.
- Cable Run: standard cord lengths come pre-attached. Longer runs are an order-time option - call for a quote.
- Winterization: the AerationJet must be removed from the water before freezing conditions. Plan for pull-and-store at the end of the season; the owner's manual covers the procedure.
- Lighting: the 10-fixture LED kit is optional on every variant. Add it at order time - retrofitting requires a separate float-internal install.
- Sizing Help: Call (470) 354-1969 with your lake surface area and we will recommend the right motor size.
