Some of your fountains are stunningly beautiful, and adding the flaming effect to increase your repertoire for your commercial interests would increase yours and your clients liabilities substantially. As my fountains are produced individually as works of art, and not mass produced, I am hesitant to assist you.
I was just wondering how you fed the gas and managed to keep the ignition system consisitent. WaterFX uses highly complex computers and safety management systems and i thought there must be an easier way for my customer. I have talked my architect out of the idea as the fountain was inside anyway but would still like to try it one day. All my fountaqins are custom made for all my clients and we only have two models that we wholesale (mass produce). Were as small company and just like to do things a little different than the rest and flames are definatly in fashion. Thanks for your replies, most appreciated

maybe he/she will get back in touch with you if serious abt purchasing one. wonder where they are located? i know one thing, your fountains are beautiful! i'd like to have one too, someday, when i ever have a place for one!
I live in Illinois with my wife and child and have about an acre of open back yard. I have a nice size pool with deck and a seperate patio and I would like to place a flaming fountain somewhere in between the two. Gas supply is no problem since I,m running a gas line from the main to the pool and the fountain lines up perfectly. As for size I would have to say maybe 5ft high with flames accordingly. The base would be about 8ft across and then to set this fountain inside this base. Whatever information you need let me know. Thanks
lol. he's working today adn away fm the computer. also, he's been in the middle of a big bathroom remodel at home, so he may not have been chking this multiply regular the last week or so. if i talk to him today, i'll mention you are trying to reach him abt the fountain. :)
Do you mind me asking what purpose the gas line serves for the swimming pool? A flaming fountain will require a minimum of a 3/4 inch supply line, in addition to an electrical service outlet that is GFI protected for the water pump, and a drain for cleaning your pool. All 3 of these need to be installed prior to any actual masonry work. Ordinarily, the purchaser provides the receptacle, whether it be a birdbath, an antique or reproduction urn or vase, or what have you, and I custom build the plumbing & mechanics, such as sizing the pump, to match your choice of fountain, and the actual size of your "pond"or pool. Many variables are possible, and there are many suitable fountains out there, but the gas and/or water line installs directly into your fountain. Pictures, simple drawings of your concept of what you want it to look like, and measurement are always welcomed. Please take a look at this album and any others with the flaming fountain "tag" for an idea of a simple drawing as well as some of the other pictures that will help to explain the basic starting points. http://tejasmidget.multiply.com/photos/album/41
I have just passed another milestone, my ninth year anniversary on my
present job. There was no fanfare, no bells, whistles, or confetti, not
even an acknowledgment of a goal seldom reached in the notoriously
revolving door of the hospitality business.
In my young and restless days, I would have strongly considered moving on
after five, so, how did this happen? Maturity, you say? Complacency?
Losing sight of a vision of always moving up and onward? I can tell you
now, those restless feelings are still there, but somehow, somewhere,
they are reshuffled to the back of the deck, to make room for the
different hand that has, more recently, been dealt. Impulse gives way
to reason, and desire yields to necessity.
If there is one bit of advice I have for the new generation, it is to make the most of the
spontaneity and vigor with which you envision life's challenges and
crossroads, for these are the moments that will define you as you
approach that "oh, so far off middle age".
Seldom is life so generous as to give you that second chance, which is in us all, to
start anew, and if by circumstance we do, we are not the same. There is
no fearless desire to run naked through the woods (although I've done
it a time or two at far, far, too old), there is no expediency to being
number one in the crowd. There is no longer "Me" and "Now". There is
however a different kind of boldness. I am not afraid of things that go
bump in the night. No longer do I fear hunger, or illness, or
unemployment, nor despair, because I have been visited by all these
things, and I have endured, and I know there will be tomorrow.
With our increasing age comes our greatest strength, and this is experience,
and the wisdom to pass it along to our children, and to theirs. In this
day and age there are many who may contemplate that there is no God,
or, there must be many Gods, but now, more than ever, I can fervently
say, and without a doubt, God bless my children, and keep them from
harms way, for where I lead them, they will follow.
-----byron c.
The
direst foe of courage is the fear itself, not the object of it, and the
man who can overcome his own terror is a hero and more.

"Go placidly amid the noise & haste & remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not fein affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a Child of the Universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy." -Max Ehrmann ["Desiderata"]
