FOUNTAINS

Earlier fountain equipment manufacturers provided only nozzles and other minor accessories, with mechanical equipment provided by a plumbing contractor and electrical equipment by an electrical contractor. Due to their complexity and coordination problems, fountains were costly to install and difficult to maintain.

These days fountain equipment manufacturers provide a choice of more advanced and cost effective systems. The choice covers a range of numerous products starting from indoor or outdoor fountains, animal sculptures, pond liners, submersible pumps and underwater illuminations. For patios or living areas decorative arrangements are available in wood or ceramic. Plants and pebbles add a distinctive touch of tropical atmosphere to these fountains. Galvanized steel is used to guard the water surface for safety and children's sake.

Basic fountains or outdoor fountains are generally water columns of varying heights with appropriate diameter to meet basin diameter. To withstand prevailing wind conditions, automatic wind controls are used. Fountain manufacturer now provide nozzles for jet heights above 100m.
