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. This fountain was featured on the cover of Landscape Architect and Specifier News magazine. To view the article, click here.
