- FEATURES
- The Astral Fountain features a central column of water 70 feet high, ringed with 40 jets flowing at the rate of 5,600 gallons per minute. The configuration is enhanced by a fretwork of a star-patterned design, 60 feet high and 60 feet in diameter, that rotates around the central column at a speed of two feet per second. The structure is adorned with 120 starr-set nozzles ejecting lacy streams of water totaling 2,600 gallons per minute, producing an unusual and delightful display.
