Clients often ask: “Isn’t a water screen show just a large projector, a water screen, and a video on loop?” But actual projects are far more complex—and far more fascinating—than one might imagine.

A water screen show is a precision-coordinated performance system in which five key components—creative content, projection, fountain equipment, control systems, and venue conditions—must be synchronized in real time. If any one element falls out of sync, the overall viewing experience will be significantly diminished.

We do more than just provide equipment installation services; we craft a complete, immersive sensory narrative experience.

01 Creative Planning

Establish the Story First, Then Discuss the Equipment

Every spectacular performance begins with a narrative framework, not a list of equipment specifications. We prioritize composing the soundtrack, and the rhythm of all visual sequences is synchronized with the music. The storyboard serves as the master timeline: fountain choreographers, lighting designers, projection technicians, and laser programmers all collaborate based on this frame-by-frame standard. Without this foundational design, the final result would be nothing more than a video played on a water screen.

02 Projection System

A Flowing “Screen”

The shape of the water screen directly determines image quality. A fan-shaped water screen is suitable for wide-scale storytelling; a circular water screen creates an immersive, surround-sound effect; and a vertical water screen is suited for narrow, elongated water bodies. The base brightness for outdoor projection must not be less than 15,000 lumens; the main water screen is equipped with a laser light source as standard, requiring a brightness of 25,000–40,000 lumens. Large-scale performance projects require an array of 3–6 projectors to achieve a seamless image through edge blending. Integrating 3D architectural light mapping with the water screen is key to creating distinctive performance effects.

03 Fountain System

Dynamic performers, not static backdrops

This is our core strength. Programmable one-dimensional nozzles can trace smooth water lines; two-dimensional nozzles can shape three-dimensional, dynamic water forms, and the choreography logic for the two is entirely different. Underwater LED lighting serves as the color foundation for the water feature; the color coordination between the lighting and the projected images must be finalized during the preliminary planning phase and cannot be left to ad-hoc adjustments on-site. Air-burst water sprays create dramatic turning points, flame effects heighten the climax, and cold fog sets the atmospheric tone. Precise timing of special effects is far more important than simply piling on a large number of them.

04 Control System

The Metronome of the Entire Performance

SMPTE timecode serves as the core reference for the entire performance: fountains, lighting, projections, lasers, and audio are all synchronized to the same master clock signal. DMX512 manages the lighting system, Art-Net handles network signal transmission, and PLC ensures safety logic—these three independent control chains each fulfill their specific functions. Redundant backup for the main controller is a mandatory requirement: should the primary controller fail, the backup system must take over seamlessly. Even a signal interruption as brief as 0.1 seconds would be clearly noticeable to the audience.

05 Site Conditions

The Focus of 80% of Project Risks

Water depth, seasonal fluctuations in water levels, water turbidity, and winter freezing issues all constrain equipment selection and construction plans. Audience sightlines determine the placement of projectors; the projection path must not interfere with the audience’s line of sight. For open-water projects, acoustic simulations must be conducted; otherwise, audio dead zones may occur in certain viewing areas. In terms of power load, a medium-sized performance can consume 300–500 kilowatts of electricity. If this is not verified with the local power authority during the preliminary phase, it will be difficult to resolve the issue through emergency measures later on.

I. Four Core Principles of Musical Fountain Design
Professional musical fountain design rejects cookie-cutter approaches and must balance artistic impact with practical application, adhering to the following four core principles:
1. Principle of Site Adaptation
Tailor solutions based on the site’s scale and purpose. Public squares are suited for large-scale matrix fountains and ultra-high-reach fountains; riverfront landscape areas are suited for linear flowing water features; commercial and indoor settings should use compact, low-noise water features; Cultural and tourism attractions feature themed fountain shows that align with the site’s character and usage requirements.
2. Principle of Synchronization of Sound, Light, Electricity, and Water
The core objective is to achieve four-dimensional synchronization of sound, light, electricity, and water. Through precise program control, water patterns and lighting colors dynamically change in time with the music’s rhythm—soothing melodies are paired with gentle water features, while energetic music styles are matched with dynamic water effects such as leaping jets and explosive bursts, creating a unified audiovisual experience.
3. Safety and Stability Principle
All underwater equipment meets the IP68 waterproof standard, and electrical circuits are equipped with ground fault and overload protection devices. The pool structure and equipment layout are optimized, with designs incorporating corrosion resistance, waterproofing, and short-circuit prevention to eliminate safety hazards and ensure long-term, stable operation of the equipment as well as pedestrian safety.
4. Energy Efficiency and Easy Maintenance Principle
Energy-efficient variable-frequency pumps and low-power LED underwater lights are selected, paired with a smart timed start-stop system to reduce energy consumption. Equipment locations are strategically planned with maintenance space reserved to simplify operation and maintenance procedures and reduce long-term operating costs.

II. Standard Design Process for Musical Fountains
A well-developed musical fountain design consists of five core steps, each ensuring the successful implementation of the final effect:
1. Site Survey and Requirements Analysis: Survey site dimensions, water quality, power supply, and environmental conditions; clarify the project budget, scene positioning, and performance requirements; and determine the fountain’s scale and style.
2. Thematic Artistic Conceptualization: Integrating local culture and project characteristics, plan water pattern combinations, lighting color schemes, and musical styles; choreograph a rhythmically varied performance to create a unique landscape theme.
3. Technical Detailed Design: Refine plans for the water system, lighting, electrical controls, piping, and wiring; optimize spray angles and heights based on wind speed and spatial parameters to address issues such as water overspray and limited visual effects.
4. Construction, Installation, and Implementation: Complete civil engineering, piping installation, and equipment installation according to the drawings; implement waterproofing, corrosion protection, and reinforcement measures to mitigate construction risks.
5. Programming, Debugging, and Acceptance: Input customized music tracks; debug the synchronization of sound, light, electricity, and water; conduct repeated test runs to fine-tune parameters; correct any errors; and finally complete acceptance and handover.

III. Key Points of Core System Design
The quality of a musical fountain is determined by four core systems. The key design points are summarized as follows:
1. Water Feature Shaping System
This system combines diverse water forms—such as surging fountains, swaying water, flowing water, air-burst fountains, and super-high fountains—to create rich layers through a layout that alternates between high and low elevations and blends dynamic and static elements. It utilizes 304 stainless steel nozzles and silent variable-frequency pumps that adapt to different musical rhythms, ensuring durability and low noise levels.
2. Lighting Rendering System
IP68-rated RGBW full-color LED underwater lights are used, supporting effects such as color gradients, strobing, and follow-spot lighting. Adhering to the design logic of “changing colors with the music and adapting to the water’s light and shadow,” the system enhances the nighttime landscape’s ambiance and sense of depth through the alternation of warm and cool colors.
3. Intelligent Control System
Serving as the fountain’s central “brain,” the digital control system captures musical rhythms with millisecond precision and coordinates all equipment. It supports multiple preset programs, scheduled operations, and remote control; high-end solutions can incorporate environmental sensing and interactive controls to meet both routine and customized performance needs.
4. Safe Power Supply System
The system employs zoned, independent power supply with waterproof distribution boxes and protective devices, and all wiring undergoes sealed, waterproof, and flame-retardant treatment. A complementary water circulation and filtration system prevents nozzle clogging and equipment corrosion, reducing the likelihood of malfunctions.

IV. Key Focus Areas for Custom Design in Mainstream Scenarios
Design priorities vary by scenario; precise customization is essential to maximize value:
Urban Squares: Grand and majestic with high visual appeal; large-scale layouts and high-jet water displays are suitable for public viewing, while the system is stable, durable, and low-maintenance.
Cultural and Tourism Attractions: Themed and narrative-driven, integrating light and shadow, water mist, and laser effects to create immersive water-based performances that attract nighttime visitors.
Commercial Complexes: Dynamic and fashionable with a lively rhythm, paired with popular music to enhance interactive experiences and boost foot traffic.
Landscaped Residential Communities: Gentle and serene, featuring gushing fountains and soft, gradually changing lighting with low noise and minimal water spray, designed to complement the natural ecological landscape.
