VARIO Musical Fountain Nozzle
The VARIO Musical Fountain Nozzle system is an adaptable, full solution that is capable of scaling with ease from intimate garden features to larger, dynamic TNC displays. Thus, the versatility of VARIO allows for its harmonious integration with nearly every setting of a project. The combined features of a powerful, 24VDC pump, vibrant 36W RGB lighting, multiple interchangeable fountain nozzles, with full DMX control integration all crammed into a compact housing.
Whether the task is creating the finest static water patterns or executing more flamboyant, dynamic show effects expected of a high-end Musical Fountain, VARIO delivers uncompromised performance level worthy of any size or application. This is part of the TNC series focusing on flexible control of variable water effects.
Essential Technical Configuration and Specifications
VARIO 241 is a professional modular system customized mainly for versatile applications in water display. Its core technical specifications ensure that reliability is at all times complemented with flexibility for operations:
-
Modular Pump System: Comes in ratings from 120 watts to 270 watts, to ensure that whatever stream height and flow could be required is perfectly matched.
-
Hybrid Construction: An engineered thermoplastic body is encased with housing and legs, combining adequate costing with good strength.
-
Control & Power: Dual voltage operation is supported (24VDC or 36VDC), with the control protocol being a strong DMX-RDM for reliable control communications and bi-directional feedback.
-
Connection Simplicity: Utilizes a single IP68 Waterproof Connection cable design that simplifies installation works while ensuring long-term watertightness.
-
Show Compatibility: 100% Syncronorm Depence Compatible to facilitate quick and professional integration into existing show programming platforms.
-
Smart Safeguards: Comes with integrated over-current safeguard features for the longer life and reliability of the pump system.
DryDECK: Interactive Fountains for Public Spaces
The DryDECK Fountain variants represent a critical application area for the VARIO system, specifically designed for public interaction. Dry DECKs are ground nozzles engineered to be installed flush with the ground surface, effectively maintaining a near-zero height and a zero water level, which gives rise to the term “dry pool.” These systems are primarily intended for interactive entertainment, enabling users, often children, to walk freely between the nozzles, engage with the water jets, get wet, and safely enjoy the display.
While crafted with paramount safety in mind, the enjoyment remains uncompromised. Numerous types of Dry DECKs are available, each offering a unique interaction experience. Furthermore, a highly professional version is available for integration into large-scale light and water shows, featuring significantly higher water jets and integrated lighting to provide enhanced visual appeal within the overall Musical Fountain spectacle.

Features Defining a Modular Musical Fountain System
VARIO’s greatest asset is the availability of integrated modular components designed for accommodation:
-
Interchangeable Nozzles: The system can accommodate various fountain nozzles (standard jet, laminar flow, fan nozzles) to allow the designer to create various water effects without having to worry about separate dedicated pumps.
-
Adjustable Mounting: There is an Adjustable Tilt Mechanism (±15°), giving very important flexibility to direct the water streams in complex Musical Fountain arrangements or to balance the water effect due to uneven basin floors.
-
Optional Illumination: The LIGHT-C RGBW module (36W power draw) is DMX controllable and can be recruited for better visual fidelity and color synchronization with music.
Where Does The VARIO Musical Fountain Nozzle Excel In Application?
The highly flexible design and integrated control of the AquaVARIO make it an exemplary option for the dynamic Musical Fountain elements amidst various challenging scenarios.
-
Architectural Water Features: It is ideal for building lobbies, public plazas and urban installations that require a clean, contained, programmable water effect.
-
Entertainment and Event Venues: Ideally suited for hotel water displays, theme park elements, and temporary event staging in need of easy setup and dynamic alteration.
-
Maintenance Specifications:
-
Service Interval: Requires servicing only every 500 operational hours.
-
Cleaning Requirement: Mandates quarterly inspections for optimum longevity.
-
Expected Life: Designed for a long service life of 10,000 hours.
-
Operating on a low voltage of 24VDC, paired with a robust IP68 rating and 2000-hour salt spray-tested construction, ensures a safe and durable operation, even when the Musical Fountain is set up in high-traffic or saltwater environments.
Next Steps: Specifying the AquaVARIO Musical Fountain Nozzle
The proper setup of this flexible system calls for a minimum water depth of 400mm, with water to be filtered to 50 microns. Please request the corresponding datasheet to receive full technical details about pressure/flow characteristics and accessory options.
