Fountains
Jet types for fountains
The shape a fountain takes depends on the nozzle used. We offer 15 jet types — from tall vertical columns visible from a distance to quiet effects suited to indoor spaces.
Overview
Water refreshes the space it sits in. In the warm season, a well-kept fountain adds beauty to a place and has a pleasant effect on passers-by.
The way the water is pushed out depends on the type of nozzle used. Each model produces a distinct shape — vertical or parabolic, compact or foaming, loud or quiet — and several types can be combined in the same fountain to achieve the desired effect.
What to keep in mind when choosing
- Some jets (cascade, geyser, chalice) depend on the water level; for best performance, fit an overflow drain and a level sensor.
- Wind-sensitive jets should be used in areas with moderate wind or indoors, sheltered from draughts.
- Night lighting increases the visibility and beauty of the jets.

Types & options
Compact jet 1
Small and medium nozzles reaching up to 14 metres. The integrated ball joint allows vertical or parabolic jets.
Compact jet 2
Large compact nozzles reaching up to 140 metres, visible from great distances. The integrated ball joint allows vertical or parabolic jets.
Mini-sphere jet
Small nozzles, visible from a distance and attractive even when off. Lit at night, the jets become more striking.
Hemisphere jet
Large nozzles, visible from a distance and attractive even when off. The results are striking, especially when lit.
Sphere jet
Large nozzles, visible from a distance and attractive even when off. The results are striking, especially when lit.
Chalice jet
Produces a thick, pulsing ribbon of water shaped like a chalice. Quiet nozzles with a pleasing look; operation depends on the water level.
Cascade jet
For areas with moderate wind, mounted at a fixed height. Depends on the water level; for best performance, fit an overflow drain and a level sensor.
Mist jet
Creates parabolic jets at varying heights for attractive effects. Suited as the main feature in small fountains.
Mushroom jet
Produces a transparent hemisphere of water. Ideal indoors, in areas sheltered from wind.
Foaming jet
High water flow and strong visibility, especially beautiful when lit. Several jets can form a column effect.
Snow jet
The internal system mixes outside air with water, producing a rich, foaming jet.
Water curtain
Can take many forms and is usually used in linear groups. Well suited to interiors — quiet operation and little splashing.
Crown multi-jet
Creates parabolic jets at varying heights for attractive effects. Suited as the main feature in small fountains.
Parabolic multi-jet
Usually used for secondary effects. Placed alternately, it creates attractive water shapes.
Geyser jet
For areas with moderate wind, installed at a moderate height. Depends on the water level; for best performance, fit an overflow drain and a level sensor.
