The fact is that such a fountain is equipped with a special grate, from under which water jets beat, the very niche of the pool with water is hidden under the grate. Thanks to this design people can come close to the dry fountain, walk along its lattice - in a word, be in the very center of events. It is very like children, because running in water jets is so much fun! Well, let's learn more about what a good fountain is good for.
Features of dry fountains
Such an engineering and architectural solution in the construction of hydraulic structures, like a dry fountain, has other names: pedestrian, flat, game or underground.
So, the water bowl of such a fountain is below the ground level (that's why they are called "underground"). It consists of several communicating channels of varying length, diameter and depth. The grate above the bowl, or basin, has openings for reaching the surface of the jets.
The advantages of a dry fountain are obvious. First, it is much more interesting for the public than the ordinary, because you can go there and become not just an observer, but also an active participant in games with jets of water. Secondly, this construction is safer for others, since all equipment - pumps, nozzles, collectors and other components for a dry fountain are out of reach. The child will never fall into such a fountain. Yes, and coatings are usually used special, anti-slip and anti-traumatic. And thirdly, such a fountain does not require "conservation" for the winter.
Particular attention deserves the decorativeness of dry fountains. In their design, lighting is often used, which makes the structure a dynamic fountain - and this is a very beautiful sight. In many cities, dry light and music fountains have already become real sights.
Often dry fountains are installed in water parks, entertainment centers, etc., because this is not an ordinary fountain, but a real attraction. If you want, you can build this fountain in the local area. The construction of a dry fountain is handled by specialized companies. It is worth this pleasure is not cheap, although it depends on the dimensions of the lattice for a dry fountain.
