Replacing a Failing Lake Fountain After 20 Years

A council-owned retirement village, built around a scenic man-made lake in the late 1980s, featured a custom bottom-mounted fountain that had long been a favourite among residents.

After more than two decades, the original fountain reached the end of its life. When it failed, the council found that replicating or repairing the unit was no longer feasible due to upgrades in local power infrastructure and changes to the surrounding landscape.

Residents wanted a replacement that looked and performed like the original, but with easier access for maintenance and improved reliability. The challenge was to find a modern fountain design that preserved the lake’s beauty while addressing the practical limitations of the old installation.

Solution

Installing a 25hp AquaMaster Floating Fountain with Programmable Lighting

To meet the brief, we supplied and installed a 25-horsepower AquaMaster floating fountain—a high-performance system designed for both aesthetics and durability.

Unlike the original fixed fountain, the new floating design allows easy access for cleaning and servicing, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

The installation also included a modern RGBW lighting system, offering full colour customisation. Residents can now illuminate the fountain in themed colours—such as red, white, and blue for Australia Day, or pink for Pink Ribbon Day—adding seasonal vibrancy and personality to the lake.

Result

A Vibrant Centrepiece for the Community

Feedback from residents and the local community was overwhelmingly positive. The new fountain became an instant focal point, bringing life and movement back to the lake.

Installed shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, the revitalised water feature provided a welcome sense of tranquillity for residents during a challenging time—offering a bright, dynamic landscape to enjoy during walks around the lake.

Today, the 25hp AquaMaster fountain continues to enhance the retirement village’s landscape.
