Repentance Park
Interactive Fountain
This interactive fountain features 750 custom nozzles that are integrated under a drilled and cored stone pavement plaza. The Kusser design team established and produced extensive piping, filtration, mechanical, and penetration design and coordination. It also created the design drawings and documentation of the fountain. Together with the manufacturer Crystal Fountains, the nozzles were optimized to realize the effects designed by the landscape architects and fountain consultant. All (750) nozzles operate from (1) pump with a VFD drive so the entire field of fountains rises and falls together. It is illuminated by 60 flush mounted LED white lights randomly spaced in the deck.
