Building Experimental Fountain Nozzles

We have been experimenting with Fountain Nozzles for the Pond.

Our latest uses a 4 inch diameter Collimator Chamber with a 3/8 inch output port (hole in PVC cap), the input is 1 inch threaded pipe.


The Collimator Chamber is full of "Coffee Stir Sticks". The stirrers are packed VERY tight.

The input is a 1 inch pipe with about 3 inches of rolled "Air Conditioner Filter" material.


Here is the Experimental Nozzle Setup, showing the current 4 inch Collimator and some other previous created nozzles.

This is the output of the 4 inch Collimator Some Nozzles and Collimator work better than others.

This Collimator is just an empty 18 inch section of 1.5 inch pipe.

This shows the two together.
