LANDSCAPING SERVICES GIANT RESULTS WITH OTTERBINE’S GIANT FOUNTAINS Otterbine’s line of giant fountains is the go-to for landscape architects, designers and contractors wanting a dramatic focus for their landscaping and commercial projects, providing a sensational display wherever they’re used. From the staggering 90ft or 27m height of the Supernova to the magnificent multi-dimensional cascading pattern of the Equinox, onlookers never fail to be impressed by any of the seven in the range. The Equinox and Aries have the lowest spray height, but they more than make up for that in their width, spreading their cascading patterns up to 121ft across the diameter of the lake. The Triad and Aquastar have height and a good fan pattern, while the Polaris has a rich and dense water flow effect and the Mystic and Supernova go up and up! It’s not just about the fountain’s aesthetic though, Otterbine complementary aeration systems offer the highest oxygen transfer Follow us @ludmagazine and pumping rates in the industry, independent testing done by the University of Minnesota and GSEE prove it. They add as much as 3.3lbs or 1.5kg of oxygen per horsepower hour into the water and can pump over 920GPM or 199m3/ hr per horsepower, which means that they’re as impressive in their functionality as they are in their appearance. Constructed for ease of use, this line allows for shallow operating depths of only 40ins or 1m, while large wheels on the frame improve mobility and eliminate the need for hoists and cranes during installation in most instances. Combine this with corrosion resistant materials (they’re manufactured with 316 marine- grade stainless steel, one of the highest on the market), a unique screening system to simplify cleaning and an adjustable float to minimise visibility in the water – these units are virtually maintenance free! With an average lifespan of over 15 years and backed by an all- inclusive four-year warranty (five years if adding Franklin’s Sub-trol monitor), Otterbine systems are built to last and are energy efficient. Their beauty can be added to and prolonged with the addition of a Fountain Glo light system, from the energy efficient LED lights to colour- changing RGBW sequencing light systems, giant results with Otterbine aren’t limited to daytime only, but night-time too.
