Vertex Vertical TriTier Pond Fountain
Anchor Your Pond with the Compact Vertex Vertical TriTier Display Fountain
The Vertex Vertical TriTier Fountain is part of Vertex's Vertical Series - a compact three-tier display that stays in a tight column instead of spreading wide across the water. Three independent spray heights stack vertically (18 ft on the 2 HP up to 26 ft on the 5 HP) and the elegant floral side jets ascend and expand at each tier. The result is the same layered drama the Standard TriTier delivers, scaled to fit smaller and deeper ponds.
Three motor sizes cover small and mid-sized commercial water bodies: 2 HP, 3 HP, and 5 HP. Every unit needs 6.5 ft of water under it to operate - the compact vertical design sits deeper in the pond than the wider Standard / Horizontal TriTier. The Vertical TriTier runs on a sealed stainless steel turbine pump, ships with a UL-listed Class A GFCI-protected control panel, and is built on the same rotocast polyethylene float and stainless / brass machined nozzles used across the Vertex commercial line.
Pick 2, 3, or 5 HP. Single-phase or three-phase 230V is standard on every motor; 208V or 460V three-phase configurations are available on request. Optional stainless steel CREE LED lighting kits (sized to motor per the 2026 Vertex catalog) and submersible power cord lengths are sold at order time. 4-year warranty on display heads, pumps, and motors; 2 years on LED lighting; 1 year on the control panel. Free shipping on every Vertical TriTier.

Requirements & What to Know Before You Buy
- Pond Depth: 6.5 ft minimum on every Vertical TriTier. The compact design sits deeper than the Standard / Horizontal TriTier - if you have shallower water, look at the Standard TriTier or TwoTier instead.
- Pond Size: the Vertical Series is best for small and mid-sized ponds where a focused vertical display reads better than a wide horizontal one. Larger lakes show off the Standard TriTier or AerationJet better.
- Voltage and Phase Selection: single-phase or three-phase 230V is standard on every motor. 208V or 460V three-phase configurations are available on request - call for a quote.
- Dedicated Circuit: the included control panel needs a properly sized dedicated circuit with GFCI protection. Confirm with a licensed electrician before install.
- Mooring: commercial fountains need anchoring. You supply anchors or weights sized to the float and water body.
- Cable Run: standard cord lengths are available; longer runs are an order-time option. Plan for the run from the float to your control panel and breaker.
- Winterization: Vertex fountains must be removed from water before freezing conditions. Plan for pull-and-store at the end of the season.
- Lighting: the suggested LED kit is 2 lights on the 2 and 3 HP and 3 lights on the 5 HP. Add at order time so the harness ships with the float.
- Sizing Help: Call (470) 354-1969 with your pond surface area and depth and we will recommend the right motor size.
