Genesis Sprinklers & Water Management repairs, cleans and installs fountains and pond aerators in Sarasota for homeowners, HOAs, condominium associations and commercial properties. Our fountain work in Sarasota includes floating pond fountains, aerators, display fountains at assisted-living and commercial properties, and the pumps, motors, lights and controls that keep them running.
What does fountain repair cost? See fountain repair prices: $750 for a full pond fountain report, credited toward the repair, and usually $800 to $1,000 for a home tower fountain with a failed pump.
A fountain that stops in a community pond is noticed by every resident who drives past it. We diagnose the cause on the first visit, repair what can be repaired on site, and put a written estimate in front of the board or owner when a motor or unit has to be replaced.
Fountain and aerator services in Sarasota
- Pond fountains and aerators. Floating fountains and aeration units for retention and stormwater ponds: sized to the pond, wired with power and timers, and anchored so they stay in place through summer storms.
- Display fountains. Decorative fountains at community entrances, clubhouses, courtyards and homes: pumps, plumbing, nozzles and lights.
- Pump and motor repair. Diagnosis of motors, pumps and seals that have failed or lost output; repair on site where possible, and a written estimate when a motor or unit needs replacement.
- Electrical faults. Tripped breakers and GFCI outlets, damaged power cables, timers and photocells. We have replaced damaged fountain power cable and reset controls so the fountain runs on schedule again.
- Lighting. Fountain lights that have failed or dimmed are inspected and repaired or replaced.
- Cleaning and invasive mussel removal. Intake screens, nozzles, units and lines are cleaned of algae, debris and mussels that attach to submerged equipment and choke the flow.
Running hours in Sarasota County: under the water shortage order in force through March 31, 2027, a fountain that is purely decorative may run only 4 hours a day, with a sign posted showing when it starts. Some uses are exempt, such as koi ponds and small fountains, so check yours on Sarasota County’s water restrictions page before you set its timer.
Where we service fountains in Sarasota County
We service fountains and aerators in the City of Sarasota and across Sarasota County, including Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, Osprey, Nokomis, Venice, North Port and Englewood. Pumps, lights and cable at waterfront and barrier-island properties face more salt exposure, so they are worth inspecting more often.
Fountain maintenance
In dirty water with high biological counts, a fountain without regular maintenance will fail early. On Sarasota’s barrier islands, salt shortens the life of pumps, lights and cable as well, so those units are worth inspecting more often. See fountain repair in Sarasota and fountain maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can you come out for a fountain that stopped working?
Scheduled fountain repairs are completed within one week, and emergency service calls are answered the same day. Call (833) 543-6374, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
Why did my pond fountain stop running?
The most common causes are a tripped breaker or GFCI outlet, a failed motor or seal, a damaged power cable, a clogged intake or a timer or photocell problem. We find the cause, repair on site where we can, and give a written estimate if the motor or unit needs replacement. A decorative fountain in Sarasota County may also be on a 4-hour timer, the limit under the current water shortage order, so one that is off for most of the day may be working as it should.
Can you take a floating fountain out of the pond for repair?
Yes. When a unit has to come out of the water, we bring it to shore by boat, inspect it, restore it and set it back in place.
Do you clean fountains and remove mussels?
Yes. Cleaning covers intake screens, nozzles, the unit and its lines, including algae, debris and invasive mussels that attach to submerged equipment and restrict the flow.
Do you install new fountains and aerators?
Yes. We help choose a unit sized to the pond, plan the power supply and timers, and install and anchor it, including 2 HP floating fountain-aerators. In Sarasota County, the current water shortage order limits a decorative fountain to 4 hours a day, with a sign posted showing when it starts, so the timers need to be set to match.
