Fountain Calculator
Calculate water flow rates, pump requirements, operating costs, and energy consumption for your fountain or water feature. Perfect for garden fountains, commercial installations, and landscape designs.
Step 1: Fountain Specifications
Fountain Design Tips
For optimal aesthetics, aim for a flow rate of 50-100 L/min for medium fountains. Higher flow rates create more dramatic effects but require more powerful pumps.
Step 2: Pump Parameters
About Pump Efficiency
Modern fountain pumps are 70-85% efficient. Higher efficiency pumps cost more initially but save money on electricity over time. Consider the total cost of ownership.

Operating Cost Breakdown
Cost Calculation Formula
Daily Cost = (Pump Power × Hours × Electricity Cost) / 1000
To calculate operating cost: Multiply pump power in watts by operating hours, then multiply by electricity cost per kWh, and divide by 1000 to convert watts to kilowatts.
