Vertex TriTier Floating Pond Fountain
Anchor Your Pond with the Three-Tier Vertex TriTier Display Fountain
The Vertex TriTier Floating Fountain is part of Vertex's Standard / Horizontal Series - a three-tier water display engineered for medium and large ponds. The lower tier opens into a broad cascading dome, the middle tier holds a wider second arch above it, and the upper tier shoots a tight vertical column straight up the center. The result is a more layered, more dramatic display than the TwoTier, with the same wide horizontal footprint that reads beautifully across residential and commercial water bodies.
Six motor sizes cover ponds from a half-acre on the 2 HP unit up through multi-acre commercial lakes on the 15 HP. The 5 HP and larger units produce a wider spray diameter than the equivalent TwoTier - up to 55 ft across on the 15 HP - because the three-tier discharge head spreads water further outward. Every fountain runs on a sealed submersible turbine pump, ships with a UL-listed control panel, and is built on the same rotocast polyethylene float used across the Vertex commercial line.
Pick 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, or 15 HP. Single-phase 230V is standard up through 15 HP; three-phase 230V is available on every size for longer cord runs or industrial three-phase service. 208V and 460V three-phase configurations are available on request. Optional LED light kits sized to each motor (2-5 fixtures depending on HP) and submersible power cord lengths from 100 to 300 ft sold at order time. Free shipping on every TriTier.

Requirements & What to Know Before You Buy
- Pond Depth: 3 ft minimum on the 2 HP, scaling up to 7 ft on the 15 HP. Measure where the float will sit, not at the shoreline.
- Pond Size: the 2 and 3 HP fit ponds from a half-acre; the 7.5-15 HP are sized for multi-acre commercial lakes. The TriTier spray diameter is wider than the equivalent TwoTier, so leave room around the float.
- Voltage and Phase Selection: single-phase 230V is standard up through 15 HP. Three-phase 230V is available on every size for industrial service or longer cord runs. 208V and 460V three-phase configurations are available on request.
- 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 are 100, 200, or 300 ft, sized to motor. Longer runs are an order-time option - call for a quote.
- Winterization: Vertex fountains must be removed from the water before freezing conditions. Plan for pull-and-store at the end of the season.
- Lighting: LED kits are optional on every unit. Add them at order time so the harness and float-internal mounts ship in the same package.
- Sizing Help: Call (470) 354-1969 with your pond surface area and depth and we will recommend the right motor size.
