The Platinum Series comes with two different types of pump units:
Propeller Pump Unit | Centrifugal Pump Unit |
Propeller Pump units are great for aeration, since the water that moves through it gets "sheared", thusly dragging water droplets back to the pond and, in essence, increasing the surface area of the lake. Centrifugal Pump units don't aerate as much as the Propeller Pump units, which makes them more suited towards "aesthetic" usage.
All standard Platinum series fountains are shipped with one nozzle of your choice (additional nozzles available), a timer, a ground fault circuit interruptor (single phase only), and controls for the fountain in a NEMA 4X enclosure. Control panels are ETL tested to comply with the standard for industrial control equipment ANSI/UL 508, 15th edition. The fountain also includes 100 feet of #12/4 underwater power cable. The light kit includes a power pack with a transformer and a photo cell.
