I have a 3 to 4 acre lake that is fed by a 2" pipe from a waterwell. I have it elbowed off in the middle of the lake and am coming straight up to discharge water. (I was told that this would areate the lake better than just having the water spill into it from the side). Right now, it just bubbles out of the end of the pipe.

Has any one found an inexpensive way to have it discharge from the pvc as a fountain. I went to a couple of the retail websites and $1,000 for a nozzle is a little high for me. I thought about reducing the 2" down to a smaller pipe and then putting a sprinkler type nozzle on there. Any ideas?
