Foam Jet - Stainless Steel Fountain Nozzle - Fontana Fountains

Foam jets produce a solid, foamy water column with minimum flow requirements and without the need of linear water supply. These jets have become extremely popular in the last decade being the most versatile and cost-effective solution for a multitude of applications. The highly aerated water figure created by Foam jets is not water level dependent and thus surprisingly steady and lively. In addition, these nozzles behave amazingly well to sequencing effects (choreographies) deploying their full foam effect in a fraction of a second.

A key-advantage of Foam jets is the tremendous efficiency of water supply; 77Lpm / 4.2m head are enough for a MK 125 to shoot water at 2 meters. Entirely constructed of Stainless Steel AISI 304 (or 316 on request) with male thread connection (or female on request). Foam jets are the most versatile, high performance, cost effective and durable nozzles when it comes to frothy water effects.

  • Pure Stainless Steel

    The Fontana Foam Jets are made entirely of AISI 304 Stainless Steel (or 316 on request). This makes them practically invulnerable to corrosion, tarnishing, impacts and any kind of deterioration. It also makes them significantly more energy efficient than competitive bronze ones due to the frictionless inside surface.

  • How Stainless Steel remains... Stainless


    Stainless steel was invented early in the 20th century when it was discovered that a certain amount of the metal chromium (usually a minimum of 11%) added to ordinary steel gave it a bright shiny gloss and made it highly resistant to tarnishing and rust. This rust-resisting property which we call “corrosion resistance” is what sets stainless steel apart from most other forms of steel and alloys. The chromium content of the steel allows the formation of a rough, adherent, invisible, corrosion-resisting chromium oxide film on the steel surface. If damaged mechanically or chemically, this film is rapidly self-healed through a process called “Self-Passivation”, making Stainless Steel nearly impossible to corrode or rust.

  • The Coarse Flow Phenomenon
    or how tremendous amounts of energy are wasted due to imperfect nozzles.

    A major performance killer of cast fountain nozzles is the bumpy inner surface which is responsible for the so-called Coarse Flow Phenomenon. Imagine water as myriads of little water particles coming into a nozzle, moving in one direction. The ones near the nozzle’s inner wall encounter tremendous friction and bounce on the small bumps. As a result, these particles are diverted and start hitting one another, diverting more and more water particles, leading to even more collisions and inevitably affect the overall flow performance of the nozzle. Fontana nozzles are made of pure stainless steel and are precisely manufactured to offer a frictionless, bump-less inner surface for water to flow. In other words, stainless steel nozzles require less powerful pumps to achieve the same water effect compared to inefficient cast bronze, brass or tombac ones.
