How Two Innovators Transformed Pond Fountain Maintenance with Fountains Forever
A Neighborhood Problem That Sparked an Innovative Solution
In the peaceful community of Ormond Beach, FL, residents cherished the sight of beautifully flowing pond fountains. These water features added serenity to the landscape, offering a sense of calm with their gentle cascades. However, there was a recurring problem - one that many communities, homeowners, and golf courses face but rarely find a lasting solution for.
The fountains were constantly breaking down. Some days, they sputtered weakly, struggling to push water into the air. Other times, they stopped working entirely. The culprit? Sediment and debris buildup clogging the pumps.
Each breakdown meant expensive repairs, frustrating delays, and the disappointment of seeing once-gorgeous fountains reduced to stagnant pools of water. For most, this was just an unavoidable nuisance. But for two problem-solvers in the community, Mike Bono and Tas Coreonos, it was an opportunity to innovate.
From Frustration to Innovation
Mike and Tas weren’t just ordinary residents; they were thinkers, doers, and natural problem-solvers. With backgrounds in engineering and a passion for efficiency, they couldn’t ignore the issue. They knew there had to be a better way to keep pond fountains flowing without the constant hassle of maintenance and costly repairs.
So, they got to work.
They analyzed the problem and quickly realized that the root cause wasn’t the fountains themselves but how the pumps operated. Traditional pond fountains draw water from the bottom of the pond - right where all the muck, silt, and debris settle. Over time, this accumulation choked the pump, leading to frequent breakdowns.
Mike and Tas asked a simple but powerful question:
What if the pump didn’t have to pull in sediment-laden water?
Their answer? A protective barrier that prevented the pump from drawing in debris while still allowing water to flow freely.
The Birth of Fountains Forever
After extensive testing, tweaking, and refining, they developed a patented solution: Fountains Forever.
This innovative pump protection tube places the pond fountain pump inside a specially designed high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tube. Instead of pulling in murky water from the bottom, the pump now only accesses cleaner water from the surface. The result? No more clogs, fewer breakdowns, and dramatically reduced maintenance costs.
To prove their concept, they installed Fountains Forever in their own community’s fountains. The change was immediate.
No more clogged pumps
No more stagnant water features
No more frequent (and expensive) service calls
Their fountains stayed clean, beautiful, and fully operational for much longer than ever before. That’s when they knew they had something special - something that could help countless other communities, homeowners, and businesses facing the same frustrating issue.
Why Fountains Forever Is a Game-Changer
The beauty of Fountains Forever lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. Here’s why it works so well:
1. Stops Sediment Before It Reaches the Pump
By enclosing the pump within an HDPE tube, Fountains Forever prevents it from drawing in the muck and silt that cause breakdowns.
2. Reduces Maintenance and Repairs
With a cleaner intake, the pump doesn’t clog, meaning fewer service calls and less time spent fixing problems.
3. Extends Pump Lifespan
When a pump doesn’t have to struggle against debris, it lasts much longer - saving money on replacements.
4. Saves Time and Money
Homeowners, HOAs, golf courses, and communities can enjoy their fountains without the constant worry of maintenance costs.
5. Keeps Fountains Flowing Beautifully
