Fountains
Fountains usually develop from one of the following reasons:
A governmental activity, city, county, or state, where a program of beautification is undertaken in parks, reservoirs, lakes, civic centers or other construction such as traffic circles, malls, etc.
Interactive playgrounds for public spaces, city parks, theme parks, retail and water parks to cool off, entertain and amuse children of all ages.
Private grounds of commercial institutions such as manufacturing plants, distribution centers, etc., where the fountain serves a twofold purpose of landscaping and company identifications.
Hospitals and rest homes where restful fountains and pools have a definite therapeutic effect.
Cemeteries where subdued fountain patterns lend a quiet dignity.
Motels, highway hotels and other roadside business establishments where the fountain serves as an advertising billboard.
Private home gardens or courtyards - apartment houses.
Many other specialized functions such as water treatment and cooling towers as a means of aesthetically using visual impact from the nozzles to achieve the effects from the use of the application.

Choosing A Fountain Best Suited For Your Location
Budget:
It is important to ascertain the general type of fountain you have in mind and the amount of money that has been planned for this expenditure and whether this budget is absolute or is subject to revision. This enables design and engineering to intelligently develop the best possible fountain to fit the requirements of application and budget.
Size:
Many factors control the type of fountain best suited for a particular situation. If the area is large then a fountain using heavier spray effects and moving larger masses of water is to be preferred. You will be amazed at how distance shrinks the size of a fountain. A fountain of inadequate size and substance is just as undesirable as one that is over sized. If the pool size is restricted or is in a location where splash out would be objectionable, spray rings, for example, with an inside fall pattern would be desirable. A combination of two rings, one of smaller diameter and inside the other, and rising to a greater height, with or without a center jet, makes a very attractive fountain. Unless a fountain is intended to be the complete center of interest, it should compliment its environment, not overwhelm it.
Lighting:
There are very few unlighted fountains being installed today. As attractive as a fountain may be during daylight hours, it is immeasurably more beautiful at night with multi-hued lights playing upon it. A few things to remember; you can rarely over light a fountain and under lighting one can completely ruin its potential beauty. If you have envisioned a lighted fountain with changing water patterns but there simply are not sufficient funds to provide all of these functions, it would be unwise to reduce the size of the fountain. Rather, it would be sensible procedure to build the basic fountain as planned and make provisions for the addition of the changing water patterns and lights (and light changing sequencing timer) at later dates when additional funds are available. All necessary future services can be stubbed in and capped at the time of initial construction.
Submersible Fountain Kit Systems
Georgia Fountain Company, Inc.™ has over 15 years experience as a manufacturer of architectural fountain equipment. Their experience has enabled Atlantic Fountains to provide unique systems and fountain designs that are the highest quality Submersible Fountain System Kits around.
These systems are the easiest to install because their parts are pre-selected to operate as a package, so we at Atlantic Fountains can offer the lowest installation costs available. Submersible Fountain Kit Systems rely on all bronze submersible pumps which are available up to 1 horsepower. No cast iron or other materials that will corrode are used. Filtration equipment is not a standard with this type of system but is highly recommended for longer equipment life and sparkling clean water. A fountain without filtration will require much more maintenance.
Our fountain lighting equipment is also prepackaged to match the water effects. Each system has a recommended lighting option. The amount of light recommendation is for typical applications. More lighting should be considered for high ambient lighting conditions or to create more emphasis on the water effects.
The heart of the Submersible Fountain Kit System is the bronze submersible pump with integral debris screen. This high quality pump is matched to the exact requirement of the selected water effect for each system. The water effects are created by precision-engineered nozzles and spray rings. The submersible pump and nozzles are connected by custom-built brass and copper manifolds. The manifold is provided with bronze ball vales to regulate the flow and pressure requirements of each effect. Each valve has a bronze handle that is easily removed after final adjustment. All of the standard systems are designed for 18" minimum water depth. One or more UL Listed bronze junction boxes are provided to terminate the cord connections of the electrical equipment. Using the proper equipment ground and ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breakers for all electrical equipment in the pool are mandatory as per National Electric Codes. If special design considerations are needed, including water depth, contact your Atlantic Fountain representative for details.
