A floating fountain nozzle lets you change the spray pattern on your EasyPro AquaFloat fountain head without replacing the entire unit. Each nozzle threads directly onto the ACF fountain head's 2" inlet, swaps in minutes without tools, and produces a completely different display. Buy one pattern with your fountain head and add others as you want to change the look of your pond or lake.
Smith Creek Field Notes
One of the things we like about the AquaFloat system is that the nozzle is the whole show — same float, same pump, completely different fountain depending on which nozzle you put on. The Rocket is the one that gets attention from a distance, especially on larger ponds. The Wide Umbrella is the classic look most people picture when they think of a pond fountain. The Narrow Umbrella splits the difference — more height than the Wide, less drama than the Rocket. If you're not sure which to start with, the Wide Umbrella is the most versatile for most pond sizes.

✅ Use this floating fountain nozzle if:
- You already own an EasyPro AquaFloat fountain head (ACF2N, ACF3N, or ACF1N)
- You want to add a second or third spray pattern to your existing setup
- You want to swap nozzles seasonally or for a different look
- Your pump meets the GPH and head pressure requirements for your chosen pattern
⚠️ Keep in mind:
- These nozzles are designed exclusively for the EasyPro ACF AquaFloat fountain head — they are not universal and will not fit other brands
- Spray height and spread depend entirely on your pump's output — check the performance charts below before selecting a pattern
- The float and pump are sold separately — see the EasyPro AquaFloat floating pond fountain head if you need the complete assembly

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a floating fountain nozzle?
A floating fountain nozzle is the spray head component that attaches to a floating fountain head and determines the shape, height, and spread of the water display. On the EasyPro AquaFloat system, the nozzle threads on and off in seconds, making it easy to swap patterns without any tools.
Will these nozzles fit any floating fountain head?
No — these nozzles are designed specifically for the EasyPro ACF AquaFloat fountain head. They use a 2" NPT thread connection and are not compatible with other brands or float assemblies.
Which floating fountain nozzle pattern should I choose?
For most ponds the Wide Umbrella is the best starting point — it produces the classic broad fountain look with maximum surface coverage. Choose the Rocket if you want maximum height and a dramatic single-column display, especially on larger or deeper ponds. The Narrow Umbrella is a good middle ground — more height than the Wide Umbrella but less concentrated than the Rocket.
How high will the fountain spray?
Height depends on your pump's GPM and head pressure. The Rocket nozzle can reach up to 16 feet high with a pump delivering 65 GPM at 23' of head pressure. The Wide Umbrella reaches up to 8 feet high with 82 GPM at 19' of head. Use the performance charts above to match your pump to your expected display.
Can I use multiple nozzles on the same fountain head?
One nozzle at a time — only one nozzle threads onto the fountain head. But owning multiple nozzles lets you swap patterns whenever you want a different look, seasonally or just for variety.
How do I clean the nozzle?
Thread it off by hand, rinse with clean water, and use a soft brush to clear any debris from the ports. No tools required. EasyPro designed the threaded connection specifically for easy on-and-off maintenance.
What pump do I need for these nozzles?
Use the performance charts above to find the GPM and head pressure your chosen pattern requires, then match those specs to a pump. The EasyPro TH Series pump is a proven match for the AquaFloat system with a 2" female threaded outlet and output options from 3,100 GPH to 6,000 GPH.
Are these nozzles made in the USA?
Yes — EasyPro AquaFloat nozzles are made in the USA.
Seasonal Notes
Spring
Before reinstalling your fountain for the season, check the nozzle ports for any mineral buildup or debris from storage. A quick rinse and brush clears any blockage that would affect spray performance. Spring is also a good time to try a different pattern if you want a fresh look for the season.
Summer
No maintenance needed during operation. The nozzle threads off quickly if debris gets into the ports mid-season — rinse and reinstall in a few minutes. Surface agitation from the fountain helps control duckweed, watermeal, and pollen buildup during peak growing season.
Fall
Remove the nozzle when shutting down your fountain for the season. Rinse clean and store dry. This is a good time to order additional patterns so you have them ready for spring.
Winter
Store nozzles indoors during winter. The PVC construction holds up well but there's no reason to leave them exposed to freeze-thaw cycles when they're not in use.
