POOL CURBINGS...

The pool which contains the water is the most crucial element of a fountain.  Much can be done with very little water when properly planned. 

Pools may be virtually any shape you wish.  You can design beautifully shaped pools using our curbing components, which are very simple to install.

Considering wind and splash a very good rule to follow is that the pool must be a minimum diameter of double the height of the jet of water.  Wind may blow the water into the air, to one side or the other and out of the pool.  Splash occurs when a drop of water lands back in the pool.  It then may rebound from the surface in any direction and this can be blown by wind.  We find splash returning as high as 2 or 3 feet depending on the volume and the distance the water falls.

When designing these pools great consideration should be given to the depth of the pool.  Certainly it is less expensive to build a shallow pool than a deep pool.  Pools as shallow as 6” would be acceptable.  However, it may be necessary to have a sump in the center or a remote pump.   For the most part, fountains are made with depths of water ranging from 8” to 18”.

Some pools are designed purposely to be very shallow, that is with almost no water laying in the bottom.  In this case, the bottom of the pool becomes merely a drainage area to drain towards the sump.  This would be ideal for a children’s interactive splash fountain.

Our most popular system is a pool made with our curbing No. 275, which is 10” deep.  This makes it possible to operate using a submersible pump without a sump.

Shown on these pages is the greatest collection of pool shapes ever offered.  They are made from curbing members No. 275 and others.  The shapes shown are approximate.  Pool shapes as shown here can be made from our stock curbing molds generally.  To design your pool, simply select the curbing, shape, and size you desire.   We will draw it for you.  Drawings of components, as are finished drawings, are drawn in AutoCAD and available on disc, on paper or by email.
