Dad - getting my feet wet


A float went bad at the fountain today so the water got low. When the water is low the main geyser loses its venturi effect and blows the water 40-50 feet into the air. It looks really cool but in spite of the automatic controls to lower the pump speed when the wind goes up the smallest breeze blows tons of water out of the pool. So it drains the pool even faster. There are actually 2 floats to keep the water from getting too low. But both had problems.


I got the problems resolved and filled the pool back up with water, but I had to go wading in the pool a few times before I was finished.


We stopped by the fountain this evening to be sure it was still working right. All was well.
