Dry floor fountain

Dry floor fountains are becoming more and more common in urban public spaces, making them full of charm and fun.
In the dry floor (subsurface) fountain, all the fountain equipment and the lighting system are placed below the surface, which allows people to pass through the fountain environment and conveys a sense of freshness and vitality to the passersby.
The subsurface water fountain has features that make it possible to turn it into an attractive interactive water fountain.

If there is musical accompaniment in the features of the fountain, such a water feature will become a landmark of the city.

This fountain can give a beautiful face to the landscape of cities. Because the difference between this fountain and other fountains is the close touch of the water element, which creates a lively and dynamic atmosphere for the audience, especially children. Children love dry floor fountains because they can play with them. Even adults can’t resist running in front of the fountains and getting wet. Children prefer playing in a dynamic and stimulating space designed with water to playing in a rigid space created with play equipment.

All kinds of high-quality fountains, such as musical fountains, rhythmic fountains and dry floor fountains… can be beautiful in all places and convey a sense of relaxation to the audience.

Many urban planners use dry floor fountains to beautify the city and parks. In addition to beauty, this type of fountain provides fun and exciting entertainment for children.
These fountains are mostly seen in urban public spaces and make them attractive and fun.

Where are dry bottom water fountains seen?

Dry floor fountains are usually seen in open spaces. We can see them in city squares, parks and public places where they refresh the atmosphere and allow people, especially children, to play with water. The resistance of the floor where the fountains are installed must be accurately calculated so that it can withstand the traffic of people or even vehicles. (for example, the possibility of passing ambulances or public service vehicles)

On the other hand, there is contact between people and water in these fountains. Therefore, water quality is particularly important. It is necessary to use a water purifier in the dry floor fountain system.
A seemingly contradictory concept
The concept of a “dry bottom fountain” may seem like a contradiction, it’s hard to imagine a fountain without water unless it’s broken or neglected. Now, there is a type of fountain in the middle, which is called “dry floor fountain”. These fountains do not have a visible pool to collect the water, but the tank is below the surface. Water nozzles come out of this underground tank and go directly up to the floor level. When the fountains are off, the floor is dry. Therefore, they named them “dry floor fountains”. If these fountains allow interaction with the audience, they are called interactive dry floor fountains.

Dry floor fountain design

Designing and implementing all kinds of fountains is a professional work that requires the time and experience of experts who specialize in this field.
By applying knowledge, imagination, skill and taste, we can design and implement all kinds of musical fountains and dry floors for different places.
Dry floor fountains are ideal for enhancing and beautifying common areas of cities, especially squares, parks and gardens. This means that dry floor fountains must meet a series of basic requirements in order to achieve proper interaction with pedestrians.

Wet areas of the fountain (that is, parts that contain water: Pits, canals, etc.) should be insulated with the most suitable water insulation system.

Dry floor fountains need to be connected to the electrical panel. The panel can be placed outdoors (inside a polyester cabinet) or inside a technical room, together with the rest of the fountain mechanisms.
Dry floor fountain structure
The dry floor fountain has a unique structure that distinguishes it from other types of fountains. Also, the type of nozzle used in this type of fountain is very influential on the quality and final result.
Cooperation with a professional and experienced team can be an effective factor in improving the performance and beauty of this type of fountain. It is very common to use these fountains to beautify the public space of cities.
The reason for the name of dry floor fountain is that the floor of the fountain is dry, and its main reservoir is located under the asphalt.

Technical considerations

The implementation of the fountain requires high expertise so that the project implementation process does not face any problems.
The design and implementation of the dry floor fountain must be carried out with accurate calculations so that there is no disruption to the movement of people and vehicles.
This model of the fountain has a technical room and in this way we can control the settings of the fountain well. Beauty and wonder can be seen in this type of fountain in an extraordinary way.
The water purification system in this type of fountain is completely unique and the quality of the water is of particular importance. In addition, it affects the lifespan of the fountain and its durability. It also prevents the parts of the fountain from wearing out significantly.
If the pH of the water is higher or lower than the specified value, which is between 7.2 and 7.6, it will damage the parts of the dry floor fountain, which are mostly made of bronze, tambugo, brass and stainless steel.
Also, water hardness of more than 90 milligrams per liter will damage the fountain. Therefore, the hardness of the water should also be taken into account.
To avoid damage to the fountain motor, dust should not enter it.
The dry floor fountain has been welcomed by most people due to its special and wonderful design and conveys a good sense of relaxation to the audience.
