Materials: granite, stainless steel, concrete, brick.
Dimensions:
Outer "Nozzle & Scupper" fountain is 35' radius x 95' long, two 2' wide pools.
Inner "Dry Deck" fountain is 24' diameter.


Located in downtown historic City of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, this project includes two fountains, and outer "Nozzle & Scupper" feature, and an inner "Dry Deck" animated, musical play fountain. This fountain is extremely popular with children during the day and also with adults in the evening hours. The outer "Nozzle & Scupper" fountain utilizes a single display pump to provide water to the nozzles and weirs. A wind control prevents the nozzles from spraying the surrounding hardscape. Lighting is by submersible low voltage fixture each containing three MR-16 bulbs in primary red, blue, and green, which provides a generally white light with coloured highlights.
The inner "Dry Deck" play fountain features 51 individual submersible pumps, each individually controllable. As a safety feature, each independent nozzle/pump assembly lacks enough power to injure people. Lighting is by eight fiber-optic illuminators with dichroic colour wheels. Control of the pumps and lighting is by DMX interface.
