Refer to the table below to determine spray pattern and height.
(Please Note: Estimated spray patterns based on pump attached directly to fountain head.)
| FOUNTAIN PERFORMANCE CHART | WIDE UMBRELLA NOZZLE |
|---|
| Spray Pattern | 4'H x 15'W | 6'H x 20'W | 8'H x 24'W |
|---|
| Pump GPH (minimum at chart head pressure) | 3720 | 4620 | 4920 |
|---|
| Feet of Head | 11' | 14' | 19' |
|---|
For Example: To produce a water spray pattern of 4 ft. high x 15 ft. wide, a pump would need to produce 3,720 gph at 11 ft. head pressure. In this example, the pump required would have a much higher gph rating in order to achieve 3,720 gph at 11 feet rise (head).
Always check pump manufacturer's flow ratings to ensure proper pump selection.
Helpful Hints on Pump Selection:
If a smaller pump (3500-5000 GPH) is used, a direct drive pump with a maximum head height of ideally over 20 ft should be selected and the pump should be attached directly beneath the float. Larger pumps should also be attached directly beneath the float for best performance. Larger pumps can also be connected to the float by a short (3-10 ft) run of 2" ID or larger piping, but keep in mind this will result in reduced water flow at the nozzle. So, increasing the distance between the pump and your fountain, the use of smaller than 2" ID hose, elbows, check valves, etc., will all result in a reduced flow of water at the nozzle. Best Advice: Keep the distance between your pump and the Floating Fountain Head as short as possible with minimal fittings for the best Fountain Display!
