Simple plaza fountain A simple plaza fountain, like this, is very easy to build. It is made using a sump with 3 pumps sitting in the sump, attached to each is a a komet nozzle. If you want more than one jet you will also need more than 1 pump, you should also remember that with more than one jet you will need to make the sump bigger, the size of the sump depends on jet height, please see the JW Rule which is here, any smaller and you will loose too much water due to wind. It is started by a pir which we have on our controls page
As you can see it looks like their is nothing there, but when approached a jet of water shoots out from the ground if you are going to build one we do not recommend having it under plain slabs as these become slippery when wet, (suitable textured slabs will need cleaning) Why not do as we have, use gravel. It should also be noted that when completed the komet nozzle is flush with the gravel surface, this is to prevent it being a tripping or impaling hazard. (That sounds bad, but you wouldn't want to have the nozzle sitting proud in case some one trips on it) You can have lights but to be safe they will need to be mounted under thick Perspex to prevent the glass fronts from being broken Please note the pool shown is for demonstration purposes only*. Your pool should be of suitable size and a suitable strong grid added. Obviously we can change quantity and height of jets to your requirements. *The size of the pool depends on the height of the jet (please see the JW rule) Why not contact us. Please also note that if you intend to let people run through it you should change the water regularly and also clean the fountain. Commercial fountains of this type use automatic doing systems.
