Fountain plants
A typical water-treatment plant for a fountain may consist of:
A surge tank that can pick up the amount of water which returns in case of a stop.
Fresh-water connection to the plant. If the water contains too much lime or there is a great evaporation, it will be convenient to connect a desalination plant.
For sorting out particles in the water in order to avoid blocking you may connect a bag filter or sand filter dependent on the water amount, impurities and whether there is water for backwashing of the sand filter.
Organic fouling, bacterial growth, algae and the like will almost always occur in fountain water, but it may be prevented by dosing with chemicals or UV-illuminating the circulation water, depending on whether it is an indoor or outdoor water arrangement. It is also of importance which material the fountain is made of.
