About Custom Fountains Inc.

We believe a good design is based on sound engineering practice. Inspiration is moderated by experience to produce solutions that are not only unique and beautiful, but also functional and reliable. These combine to prove themselves in the initial design, and for years to come.

Incorporated in 1983, Custom Fountains is Ohio's largest manufacturer of fountains, and is a distributor of world-class components from the most highly regarded names in the industry. From the manufacture and retail sales of decorative pools, through the design and installation of large commercial projects, Custom Fountains is regularly called upon by architects, developers, landscape firms, and home owners to bring them reliable state-of-the-art solutions.

Custom Fountains is a member of the N.F.I.B., U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Cincinnati Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

Each of our engineers have an average of twenty years of experience in the design of water features. Additional staff members in design, manufacturing, field supervision, and service combine their years of experience to produce fountain systems that are well conceived and properly implemented. Prefabricated commercial projects are supplied with system schematics and operation manuals.
Custom Fountains utilizes 2D and 3D computer aided drafting and rendering to bring your project ideas to life. This allows designs to be considered before fabrication of your fountain begins. When the site already exists, we can work from photos or consumer video tape formats, (VHS, S-VHS, 8mm, Hi-8),and place an operating fountain on your property. Designs can then be returned in any of these formats for family or board room review.

Custom Fountains produces instructional video tapes for homeowners on the installation of fountains and garden ponds, and holds a master of ponds certificate from the National Pond Society in the design of water garden projects.

Fiberglass pools

Custom Fountains manufactures eighty different fiberglass pools and cascades, and can make custom shapes on request. Ask for our Fiberglass Pool Catalog and see why years of experience in the fountain industry has brought about our slogan:

"If you only want to do it once -use fiberglass !"

Easy Installation
Fiberglass pools are self-supporting even when full of water. Installation can be as simple as setting the rigid pool on the ground and surrounding it with rock or block. In-ground installations are straight forward and reliable.

Professional Appearance
Unlike blow molded plastic pools, careful grading and backfill is not required for the pool to hold its shape when filled. Rocks may be used to provide a natural appearance around a pool edge or on top of a cascade, without sagging, cracking or collapse. Fittings for pipe or electric conduit can be made an integral part of the pool.

Durable Operation and Lifetime Warranty
Fiberglass pools are safe for fish and plants and may remain filled in winter. The smooth surface is easy to clean with a cloth and water. We provide a lifetime warranty against leaking or cracking under normal use to the original residential customer.

Liners

Liners may also be used to make ponds, waterfalls, and streams. We offer commercial grade rubber liners in .045 and .060 thickness. These materials resist puncture and remain flexible in freezing conditions. Unlike plastic liners, a special blanket or sand base is not required.

Components

Custom Fountains stocks hundreds of pump, nozzle, and lighting components. In addition to our own products we are a distributor for dozens of national and international fountain component manufacturers. This variety allows us to supply exactly the right equipment for your project. Equipment with a proven track record, whether you intend to build a small indoor fountain or fifty foot wide rapids.

Electronic Controls

We produce a full line of fountain controls ranging from simple level controls and wind speed units, through sophisticated animation systems that can choreograph hundreds of lighting and water channels to music.

Floating Fountains and Aerators for Ponds and Lakes

Custom Fountains is a leader in the design and installation of floating fountains. Our experience in this field enables us to provide reliable products of superior value:

Design

With over forty standard models in a variety of spray patterns and lighting configurations, we have a wide variety of attractive products with practical features. Rugged foam filled fiberglass flotation, in a natural green low-profile design. Operation in 20 inches of water for most models, 48inches for models 5 hp and larger. Hand adjustable control valves, plus adjustable swivel nozzles on many models, allow a single fountain to produce many patterns and adapt their shape to smaller lakes.

Efficiency

Minimum power is required to produce a desired pattern. Pumps, nozzles, and manifolds are matched to each application.

Service

Maintenance is a topic avoided in most sales literature. We consider it one of our greatest strengths and have many exclusive design advantages developed from years of field service:

Our flat bottom design permits easy slide in installation, protecting cables from damage.
Top access allows components to be cleaned without removing the unit from the water.
Lights may be lifted off for relamping without removing bolts that can fall overboard.
Our "Bright-light" Jet Spray System continuously washes sediment from fixture lenses.
Component cables on the float are shielded for protection against muskrats and turtles.
Four season operation - Winter operation clears ice to provide a safe haven for waterfowls (consult factory).
Not just interchangable nozzles, but dozens of different patterns from our spray ring designs.
Our fiberglass floats provide excellent stability and maintain a low-profile with the waterline.

Pumps are U.L. listed and designed for continuous duty operation, and include stainless steel intake screens and thermal overload protection. 120 and 230 Volt models are available.
Light fixtures are U.L. listed,and feature our exclusive "Bright-Light" Jet Spray System and metal cable shields. Each model includes a standard power cable that remains flexible in freezing conditions. Longer cable lengths are optional and may require a larger wire gauge.
Custom Fountains can provide a full range of timer, photoelectric, wind, and computer based controls, allowing "well behaved" operation and programmed water and color blending.

With the largest selection of fountain components in Ohio and its surrounding states, and a staff of knowledgeable sales people, designers, and engineers, Custom Fountains has the right materials and experience to make your project a success.
