Gary Levelius Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Andy, that is nothing short of STUNNING! I'd be interested not so much in the fireworks (although it was a nice touch ) but more in the water jets in the foreground of the show.-Gary- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyzito Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 fountains were super simple....get a bunch of 24v irrigation valves, like for underground sprinkler systems.....find em at Home Depot for like $12 per.Do up your PVC plumbing....in my case i had 1 long manifold with one 3/4" input connector and 6 3/4" outputs. Each outlet went to an irrigation valve, then out the other side of the valve to the nozzle (which was just a simple jet nozzle - again find at home depot).Then i just ran my regular hose to a 750gpm pump and then connected that pump to a commercial grade hose which i ran to the input port. The pump kept about 90psi in the system at all times ( i put a relief valve set to 90psi to bleed off any additional pressure and avoid rupture. ) So what i've got now is a system where there is 90psi being held back by the 6 irrigation valves. Then you just need a way to trigger those. Enter the relay boards from LOR. Connect a 24v source to the relay board, wire each valve into a separate channel on the relay board and voila....trigger the relay, which opens the valve, which releases the 90psi.What you'll notice about my fountains is that all the jets never stay on long...because the pressure dies pretty quickly. It was my first round, i shall improve it.There are other things i learned along the way, PM me if you endeavor on this and i'll share some knowledge...

tjflory Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I too like your water works.I am working on something similar using compressed air to power the water. I am hoping to be able to throttle it so I can get a narrow jet or broad blast or mist.How did you waterproof your spotlights?Thanks!TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
