PoolMoss® for fountains brings the power of Sphagnum moss to the residential fountains. In addition to providing a new level of enjoyment for home users, it also reduces the time, cost, and effort associated with maintenance and service issues. Sized according to a fountain’s water volume, the amount of PoolMoss® is easily determined and applied. The system starts with the easily installed CC-F or CC-STxS contact chamber, and PoolMoss®, which is easily changed on a monthly basis.
