WASTE WATER FOUNTAINS

The first known swimming pool was The Great Baths of Mohenjo-Daro dating back to 2600 B.C.E. Present day residential pool installations can be traced back to the Vanderbilt estate in Asheville, North Carolina in 1895. These early swimming pool builders could not have imaged what would replace the short comings of their early engineering designs.

The recent introduction of Waste Water Fountains has finally brought modern day swimming pool owners a convenient and efficient way to discharge their back wash and wastewater. Waste Water Fountains are designed to be used with sand and cartridge filtered swimming pool filtration systems.

Waste Water Fountains discharge Swimming Pool Back Wash and Wastewater by gracefully spraying the water up to approximately six feet high into the air. The returning aerated water then naturally falls covering approximately 100 square feet.

They typically are designed connect to 1.5” or 2” hoses. Waste water fountains solve a multitude of problems facing modern day pool owners. They minimize the soil erosion that is routinely associated with the discharging waste water in the pool owner's yard. They aerate the discharged water by spraying it several feet into the air. They replace the forceful blast of up to 50 gallons a minute or more being exhausted out of a 1.5" or 2" hose opening and the accompanying severe soil erosion by spraying the water over approximately 100 square feet.

Actual Waste Water Fountain performance will vary based on the filter horsepower, psi pressure and hose connection size.
