Technical Standards and Engineering Integrity
Every pressure-tested linear distribution system we supply is designed to maintain precise flow velocity across the entire axis. For engineering planning, use the following baseline:
Total GPM = (Module length in meters × 15–25 GPM per meter) + 15% frictional allowance.
A standard 1-meter module typically requires 15–25 GPM to maintain a solid, non-breaking water curtain at a 2-meter drop height.

Applications & System Integration
Hydraulic Support and Regional Engineering
Our modular linear fountain systems are trusted by Ontario contractors for their predictable performance. We provide full hydraulic calculation support to ensure your architectural water wall remains stable under local wind conditions.
Pro-Perspective: Wind Correction & Pump Synergy
For outdoor linear features, wind can easily disrupt a thin water curtain. We recommend a 20% pump power reserve and a "dual-feed" inlet configuration for any bar exceeding 2 meters. For bars longer than 4 meters exposed to crosswinds, consider additional lateral supports or partial wind shielding to maintain a consistent laminar curtain. Our systems are fully compatible with high-head Fountain Pumps and Pressure Filters.

Frequently Asked Questions: Linear Water Feature Engineering
How do I prevent pressure drop in long linear spray bars?
In linear runs exceeding 2 meters, a single inlet often causes "pressure fade" at the ends. To ensure a perfectly level water curtain, we utilize a dual-feed or multi-port inlet configuration combined with internal baffle plates. This equalizes internal pressure, ensuring the jet height and flow density remain identical across the entire modular system.
How do I connect multiple modules without losing alignment?
Our modules use precision-molded flanges with reinforced seals. This ensures a leak-proof connection and perfect axial alignment over runs exceeding 10–20 meters without the need for specialized tools on-site.
What is the recommended flow rate (GPM) for an architectural water wall?
For a dense, monolithic water sheet, we recommend a baseline of 15–25 GPM per linear meter. When calculating your fountain pump requirements, always add a 15% frictional allowance to account for the resistance within the precision-molded nozzle ports and the distribution manifold.
Can I integrate LED lighting into long linear runs?
Absolutely. We recommend pairing our bars with submersible linear LED strips positioned at the base of the fall. This allows the light to refract through the laminar flow, illuminating the entire water sheet evenly and creating an "illuminated glass" effect.
How do I handle winterization for spray bars in Ontario's cold climate?
Complete water removal is critical. Our bars feature dedicated end-purge ports. The system should be purged with compressed air to evacuate the nozzle seats, preventing manifold stress or cracks caused by ice expansion during freeze-thaw cycles.
