Multiple nozzles

Multiple nozzles good or bad?

Some fountains have big multiple jets like the one above, to do this requires a manifold and a large 3 phase pump.  This is because the combined water demand of the nozzles is high. But if you have not got 3 phase or want multiple small low jets what can you do?

The answer is have one single phase pump for each jet* This is not only often cheaper in running costs but also saves the cost of having a manifold constructed, and it also means that should you wish to give your fountain "more interest" you can easily switch the pumps either in sequence or you can consider our access software which will give you an endless variety of options, something you can not do with a 3 phase pump. Also should one pump fail the others will continue to operate, but if you have one pump for all nozzles if it fails you have no fountain.

* It depends on the size of the nozzle used and jet height required but most 1 inch inlet nozzles with a jet height of under 3m you can use single phase pumps.
