Commercial fountain automation

Keep fountains flowing. Build wind-smart features.

Meet municipal water conservation codes, prevent overspray liability, and keep the guest experience intact. WindRanger delivers staged wind response for new designs and retrofits, with wireless options that avoid expensive conduit runs.

Hotel fountain with wind-responsive control preventing overspray

Intuitive UI

Easy-to-operate interface

Touchscreen menus let operators set speed thresholds and delay timers in seconds.

Quick setup

Fast installation

SkyLink wireless avoids concrete trenching so a wind-responsive feature can be running in hours.

Code ready

Permit-approved compliance

Satisfies Southwest municipal codes that require automatic wind shutoff controls.

Experience staged wind control

Traditional wind switches shut a fountain off at the first gust. Use the slider to see how WindRanger steps output down so the display can stay on in moderate wind.

6 MPH

Fountain operation state

Full power <10 MPH
Half power 10–19 MPH
Off ≥20 MPH
How does this work?

With gentle winds of 6 MPH, the fountain operates at 100% capacity.

All thresholds are adjustable.

Engineered for reliability

WindRanger addresses the installation, runtime, and permit problems that show up on commercial water features.

1. Eliminate costly trenching

Running hundreds of feet of conduit through a concrete plaza to wire an anemometer is expensive, slow, and delays handover.

Our solution: SkyLink wireless transmits wind data up to 5 miles line-of-sight and can cut installation labor in half.

2. Keep features active longer

Traditional wind switches shut fountains down at the first gust, leaving plazas and resorts with a dry water feature.

Our solution: WindRanger supports up to four configurable stages so plume height steps down instead of shutting off entirely.

3. Turnkey code compliance

Drought-prone areas enforce water-waste rules. Projects risk permit delays without automated wind shutoff.

Our solution: WindRanger satisfies municipal codes, including Scottsdale Code Chapter 49 and Glendale water conservation, out of the box.

How WindRanger Works

WindRanger measures wind speed and applies staged responses so the water feature stays on without overspray.

  • Real-Time Wind Sampling

    An industrial anemometer feeds live wind speed to the controller.

  • Adjustable Thresholds

    Set up to four speed thresholds matched to nozzle heights.

  • Drop-In Dry Contacts

    Relays command VFDs, pump panels, or motorized valves.

  • Example: 8 MPH reduce
  • 12 MPH step-down
  • 15 MPH safe-off

  1. Step 1

    Detect Wind Speed

    The anemometer samples continuously at high frequency to reduce false triggers.

  2. Step 2

    Evaluate Thresholds

    The controller compares live wind speed to Stage 1, Stage 2, or shutdown setpoints.

  3. Step 3

    Modulate Output

    Dry-contact relays step nozzle pressure and water height down as wind rises.

  4. Step 4

    Smart Self-Recovery

    When wind stays below the thresholds, the system restores full display height on its own.
