fountain feedback

I worked in Branson and saw the Waltzing Waters there many times. The fountains are incredible but cheapened by the cheesy music and shed-type theater. I am working on a fountain and need about 300 small orifice jets. Do you have an idea where I can find them?

We are very much interested in your articles describing musical fountain in Grand River Channel. By coincidence, we recently got an inquiry of musical fountain in a plaza. So we will be grateful if you could tell us where and how we can get connected with the manufacturer or supplier of the musical fountain.

My grandfather built the first musical fountain show in Berlin in the early Thirties. Today Waltzing Waters still designs and manufactures shows. We have done projects for names such as Disney, Sea World and Universal Studios. I have heard much of the Grand Haven fountain and can understand your strong feelings to this show. However, I would like to send you a video of our shows, in order to win you over.

Thanks for your note asking about the Grand Haven Musical Fountain. I spoke to the designer on the phone today. The fountain was built entirely from donated labor, materials and equipment. It has been upgraded several times. The fountain's piping system is built from standard industrial plumbing materials, and the spray is controlled by a PC-based multi-channel DAT system (a vast improvement over the punched-paper tape). It's possible to store the programming on CD. Allen-Bradley (and similar) controllers are used as well. Ongoing maintenance is performed by a group of volunteers and business owners, and the programming is created by the Fountain designer. More than 15 new themes have been added for the 1997 season

I am helping universities in India to set up musical fountains. Can I ask your help? We are looking for companies which can deliver the whole thing and on the other side, we are starting to explore the possibilities of doing it ourselves. Do you know what are the main parts needed and where to get them?

We are based in Calcutta and deal in landscaping and other jobs such as development of gardens and rockery with waterfall. We would like to offer products like fountains and musical fountains, therefore a business partnership would be ideal. Regards to you. Stay in touch and if possible interact with your views and ideas on fountains and its importance in life.

How are u doin? I am a student of the University of Oklahoma. I'm taking a digital design class and decided to build a musical fountain. I'll be grateful if u could advise me. My questions are as follows:
(1) How can I synchronize the water with the music? (2) Can I use the Motorola M68HC11 micro-controller to do it? (3) Where can I find the hardware? (4) Where can I find more information about musical fountains? Thank you for your time.

I hope you can help me. I am a director of a company called Flower Forest of Barbados, which as its name suggests is a cross between a nature trail and a botanical garden. We cater mostly to tourists visiting the island. Our Chairman saw the Waltzing Waters show in Newtonmore, Scotland, and was impressed. We would like to find out how to franchise the product here. Come and see the Flower Forest if you are ever in Barbados, on the house.

Hello, my name is Rob Andersen in Roanoke, Virginia. I am now 26 years of age and I have been a fountain fanatic ever since I was a toddler. Over the years I have built many small water displays in fiberglass bowels making my own spray rings and fountain heads. But my dream has always been to build a small scale waltzing waters that is portable and can be used indoors or out. I have talked to Waltzing Waters in Cape Coral, Florida, realizing that the cost of even a small portable unit is absolutely out this world, and out of my price range. I feel that someone who has basic knowledge of fountains could build their own at a fraction of the cost, so that is what I have set out to do. My plans are to build a unit that is 18 to 24 feet in length at 6 to 8 feet in width with 9 to 12 different spray patterns and the common sets of colored light combinations. But I have come to a fork in the road trying to decide how to control the fountain, by solined valves or trying to go with some form of a digital show controller to turn pumps on and off and sequence the lights to music. This is where I was wondering if you would share your past knowledge and experience of the unit so that I can develop this dream fountain. Thank you for your time.

    We appreciate if you quote to us your best price and delivery for the next fountain system: a small programed fountain for variable jumping jets (in Spanish, fuente saltarina). Our customer is a didactic park for kids, they want a "well of the wishes" fountain. The dimensions of this fountain are the follow:diameter= 3m. High available= 3m. Our customer wants a 10 minute program cycle, the fountain must work with music sound and sumergible colored lights too. Maybe you can send two or three options.

    We are interested in installing an 80-feet long fountain on a 10 feet wide area. We feel a line of vertical nozzles jetting a maximum of 10 feet in the air and forming 2 dimension patterns will be sufficient for our purposes. Can you send us a list of equipment required to complete this project along with prices. We would also like to know the process of changing the pattrens — would it be fixed or can we change it on our own. (from Ikno Technologies, Karachi, Pakistan)
