Advanced Wind Control Solutions

Success Story

Keeping an Iconic Fountain Performing at Its Best

Treasure Island Hotel & Casino

When the team at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino needed a reliable way to manage wind conditions at their main fountain feature, they partnered with PowerAire to deliver a smarter control solution without compromising the guest experience.

Large-scale fountain systems in high-traffic resort environments face a constant challenge — maintaining visual impact while minimizing water loss and overspray during changing wind conditions. The existing operation required a solution that could automatically react to environmental conditions while protecting surrounding walkways and equipment.

The Solution

PowerAire supplied and integrated a custom 2-Stage WindRanger wind controller designed specifically for the application requirements of the Treasure Island main fountain system.

The WindRanger system continuously monitors wind conditions and automatically adjusts fountain operation in real time. By implementing staged control logic, the system helps reduce excessive spray drift and unnecessary water waste during elevated wind conditions while maintaining the aesthetics of the feature during normal operation.

• Automated wind-responsive fountain control
• Reduced overspray and water loss
• Improved operational efficiency
• Protection of surrounding public areas and equipment
• Reliable performance for a high-visibility resort installation

Results

The completed installation provided Treasure Island with a dependable and streamlined wind control solution for one of the property's key visual attractions. The upgraded control strategy allows the fountain to continue operating efficiently throughout varying environmental conditions while reducing manual intervention from facility staff.

At PowerAire, we specialize in engineered control solutions built for demanding real-world applications — combining reliability, automation, and industry expertise to support landmark projects across the country.

Intelligent Wind Control for a Signature Campus Water Feature

Loyola Marymount University

Beautiful fountains deserve intelligent control.

At Loyola Marymount University, the WindRanger Plus by PowerAire helps this stunning campus water feature perform at its best by automatically adjusting fountain operation in real time based on changing wind conditions.

Outdoor fountain systems are constantly exposed to environmental changes that can lead to excessive overspray, unnecessary water loss, slippery surrounding areas, and increased wear on system equipment. LMU needed a solution that would preserve the beauty of the fountain while improving operational efficiency and protecting the surrounding environment.

The Solution

PowerAire supplied a WindRanger Plus intelligent wind control system engineered specifically for outdoor fountain applications.

By continuously monitoring live wind conditions, WindRanger Plus automatically adjusts fountain operation to maintain visual performance while reducing waste and protecting the system.

• Reduce overspray
• Minimize unnecessary water loss
• Protect surrounding walkways and guests
• Improve operating efficiency
• Protect pumps and fountain equipment
• Preserve the intended visual effect, even as conditions change

The Result

The LMU fountain continues to deliver a beautiful guest and campus experience while operating more efficiently and responsibly. With intelligent automated control, facility teams can reduce manual adjustments and improve long-term system reliability.

Built using Schneider Electric control technology and engineered for demanding outdoor environments, WindRanger Plus combines intelligent automation with reliable performance for landmark fountain installations.

Success Story

Wireless Fountain Wind Control — No Trenching Required

Lake Management Services

At PowerAire, we engineer solutions around real installation challenges — not just products.

A recent project with Lake Management Services required wind control communication between two locations separated by an 8–10 inch cinderblock wall. A traditional hardwired installation would have required trenching, conduit routing, and additional labor just to establish communication between the control panel and wind monitoring equipment.

Instead, PowerAire implemented the WindRanger SkyLink wireless platform, eliminating the need for underground conduit and long communication runs altogether. The SkyLink system was specifically designed to simplify difficult installations while maintaining reliable communication in challenging environments.

The Result

The result was a faster installation, reduced labor costs, cleaner site integration, and minimal disruption to the existing facility.

For LMS, the value was not just in adding wind control — it was in finding a smarter and more efficient way to solve a difficult site condition without the wiring hassle.

This project reflects PowerAire's engineering philosophy: practical, field-driven solutions designed around the customer's real-world challenges.

• Zero trenching required vs. hardwired alternative
• Faster installation with reduced labor costs
• Cleaner site integration
• Minimal disruption to the existing facility
• Reliable wireless communication through challenging barriers
