Each water effect is controlled by an individual pump and/or motor which is linked to a computer system. The pumps/motors are pulsed on and off to create jets and spurts of water producing different shaped effects. A variety of routines can then be combined to create a beautiful spectacle of water jets, and amazing features with lights and lasers and music. The lake fountain can run continuously throughout an entire event or be programmed to run routines at set intervals, for example a 5 minute lake show every quarter of an hour.
