ABSTRACT:
A fountain having a submersible motor and a pump secured to a frame so as to have a relatively low profile such that the entire unit is submersible in a relatively shallow pool. The pump motor is supported at a front end to the frame and along with its shaft generally extends horizontally. The pump is secured to the frame generally in front of the motor. An impeller mounted in a first pump chamber draws water into the first pump chamber through an intake opening on a rear wall of the pump housing. The water is directed out a side of the first pump chamber, through a first pump chamber discharge passageway and back through a pump return passageway and into a second pump chamber. The water is then directed out of the pump housing through a discharge opening on a front wall thereof which is aligned with the intake opening. The water is then directed through a piping assembly which is secured to the front wall of the pump housing. At least one vertical branch extends from a horizontally extending main branch of the piping assembly. Each vertical branch includes a nozzle secured at an upper end thereof.
