Want a fountain?

You want a fountain? We can point you in the right direction, but you need to know a few facts first.

How big would you like your fountain to be? 

You can have a fountain as big as you like but it has to look right, you wouldn't want to spend all your budget on say a 20 foot pool only to find that your budget is only enough for a  6 foot  jet. It is better to think of what you would like then consult us. Equally true is you wouldn't want a small pool in a big area as it will be out of perspective, from a small garden fountain to a big 20+ foot pool we can help.

Is your budget big enough?

A fountain is cheap, after all  its only a pump and a pool filled with water?

If only it was that simple, there are different sizes of pump, nozzles lights and controls. Obviously the more "components" you  have the more the cost goes up. Please also note that if you want "Niagara falls" then you can not do it using a water pistol, although people still try.

Technical

The physics of water and pumps are that as flow goes up linearly, head pressure goes up by the square and horsepower by the cube.  What this means is that the cost of a system is closely related to the spray heights involved, so basically the more complex your fountain the more it will cost.
