An illuminated floating fountain for a pond in a residential development that has an automated water top-up system.
Concrete anchors are used in the pond to hold the fountain in position.
The fountain pump draws water out of the pond, projects it through the nozzle, and then returns the water to the pond.
A neighbouring kiosk houses an automatic top-up system that maintains the pond at the correct level.
This unique water feature honours the heritage of the Grand Union Canal and is a part of a canal-side plaza that was built as a social hub for local residents to enjoy.
The feature is a segment-shaped natural pond with a flat-bottomed canal boat, named PAVO, a former barge of the Grand Union Carrying Company, moored in it that serves as a café and surrounding decking area. The pumps and filtration equipment are housed in the plant room, which is below the decking area.
The planting around the canal boat enhances the feature’s natural appearance
Three display fountains located within a town centre pond. The fountains are each fitted with 5 cascade-type jets and 4 LED white lights.
In the evening time when the light levels drop the jet can be illuminated via its onboard white lights which are controlled via a timer.
A filter system to keep the pond water clean has also been installed. The fountains will provide an element of aeration and water movement into the pond, to encourage a healthy environment within the pond.
