The cascade nozzle is also called as snow pine or ice tower, which has a giant, rich, strong and straight appearance when it is jetting water. The nozzle are mounted on the top of the guide tube and flushed with tile water level. It can bring the water out of the pond to form giant water column with strong wind resistance. Therefore it can be widely used for the fountain in square or public places.
The Cascade™ spray nozzle creates thick geyser; a frothy, stout column that has a resonating splash sound and thick undulating geyser pattern. This is a water-level dependent nozzle so you need a constant water level and need to adjust the nozzle so it is correctly positioned to allow for the venturi effect to add air into the rising geyser. Using multiple nozzles placed close together can create dramatic effects.
Nozzle is FNPT.
The final height of your Cascade spray nozzle pattern a will depend on the pump flow and the size of the nozzle chosen. Ensure that the hose or PVC tubing that connects your pump to the nozzle is a sufficient diameter. Always try to use a pipe with the same diameter as the nozzle to minimize loss of flow from pipe friction.
The following chart is an approximate detailing of various spray heights with various pump flows at required head rating. Ensure your pump gives the recommended flow at the specified head (height).
