Pumps and Mechanical Components
LaBarge supplies and installs the fixtures and pump components required for its custom water features. Depending on the design, a project may also include an automatic-fill system, liner and waterproofing components.
The proposal should identify the pump, basin, power requirements, water supply, access and any available warranty details for the selected components. The property owner is responsible for arranging electrical work. LaBarge can assist with the permit process where needed.
Maintenance Expectations
A water feature may require:
- Debris removal
- Water-level checks
- Pump cleaning
- Mineral-deposit management
- Algae attention
- Leak observation
- Seasonal shutdown or protection
LaBarge offers limited maintenance, winterisation and leak-repair services. The available scope should be discussed during the estimate.
Warranty
LaBarge offers a one-year warranty on mechanical components and workmanship for its custom water features. The proposal should specify the warranty terms and exclusions for the project.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. LaBarge builds custom fountains and water features, but does not build ponds or fish systems.
Will a fountain attract mosquitoes?
Keeping water circulating and maintaining the feature can help reduce stagnant water. Regular care is still necessary.
Does a water feature require electricity?
Most pump-driven features do. The property owner is responsible for arranging the required electrical work.
