Dry Deck Fountain

Modern Design Meets Interactive Elegance

Transform any public or private space with the clean, contemporary appeal of a Dry Deck Fountain. A water feature installed flush with the ground, where all nozzles, pumps, and lights are concealed beneath a durable mesh or granite cover.

Unlike traditional fountains with visible basins, dry fountains remain flat and walkable when not in use, allowing uninterrupted pedestrian access. When activated, choreographed jets emerge from hidden nozzles, dancing to light and music in perfect synchrony—offering a dramatic water display without occupying surface space.

Key Features & Benefits

Space-Saving Aesthetics

Dry deck fountains eliminate the need for a visible pool or basin. Integrated seamlessly into paved surfaces, they enhance the landscape without disrupting walkways or sightlines. The fountain’s minimalist appearance makes it suitable for high-traffic areas and architectural spaces where visual clarity and space utilization are priorities.

Interactive & Safe

Engineered with public interaction in mind, dry fountains are completely flush with the surface and pose no tripping or drowning hazard. Children can safely play among the jets, while adults enjoy the sensory experience of moving water, light, and sound—all within a safe, slip-resistant setting.

Multi-Functional Surface

One of the greatest advantages of a dry deck fountain is its dual-purpose functionality. When off, the space functions as a plaza, courtyard, or walkway. When on, it transforms into a spectacular water feature. This versatility makes it ideal for spaces that host events, gatherings, or public foot traffic.

Visual Appeal Day & Night

Using dynamic RGB LED lighting, dry deck fountains come alive after dark. Colors, motion, and rhythm are choreographed to create immersive shows that attract attention and admiration. From subtle ambient glow to vibrant, animated light sequences, the experience is tailored to suit any atmosphere.

Core Components of Dry Deck Fountain

Water Supply & Plumbing

A dedicated underground water line feeds the system, connected to a durable plumbing network that distributes water evenly to each nozzle. This ensures a smooth, uninterrupted flow and long-term operational efficiency.

Precision Nozzles

Specialized nozzles are embedded within the ground surface, calibrated to create various water effects—vertical jets, arches, and even mist. These are often made of stainless steel or brass for durability and can be adjusted for height and angle.

Submersible Pump

A high-efficiency submersible pump drives the system, circulating water from the reservoir to the nozzles. Installed below ground or in a nearby vault, the pump ensures consistent pressure and performance, even in high-demand operations.

Advanced Control System

The brain behind the fountain, this system includes programmable logic controllers (PLCs), DMX modules, sensors, and timers. It allows precise control over water patterns, lighting sequences, music synchronization, and operational scheduling, all customizable to client requirements.

Drainage System

Integrated grates and drains collect and recirculate water instantly. When the fountain is turned off, the surface remains dry and clean. This drainage setup prevents pooling and ensures the area is safe and usable at all times.

Applications

Urban Plazas & Streetscapes

Dry fountains bring dynamic movement, sound, and interactivity to public squares and streets, enriching city life without interfering with foot traffic or accessibility.
