Multiple nozzles

Multiple nozzles how is it done?

If you want a fountain with multiple nozzles you have a large pipe and connect the nozzles to it with a pump connected at one end don't you?

If the fountain is to have small nozzles or nozzles with a low water demand then yes this is true. This is actually called a manifold.

		This is a small manifold, ideal for komet nozzles.

		This is a large manifold (it has 69 nozzle outlets)

If you have multiple nozzles that have a high water demand then a small manifold will not be big enough, using the large manifold above as an example you can see that the more nozzles and the higher water demand the bigger the manifold pipe must be. Also because of the higher water demand a bigger pump will be required. Both of these facts can make it expensive.

We suggest that if you want a few nozzles that have a high water demand you have one pump per nozzle. See our page here

As you can see in this picture each nozzle has its own pump

This can also look neater. It also means should one pump fail /get blocked the others will continue to operate. You may also want to see our page here
