The FPK7000 is a programmable all-in-one fountain kit for splashpads and interactive water features. It uses the amazing Fontana YSwitch; it has integrated lights and can be controlled in a number of ways.
The YSwitch is a sophisticated device based on a solenoid. By diverting the atmospheric air intake, it diverts the water flow to the nozzle or the drain outlet without producing water hammer. This switching mechanism allows for individual control of every nozzle and is so fast that can create unlimited water effects.
The kit also has integrated lighting. It incorporates two XL300 solid unibody luminaires in RGBW or White hues for incredible lighting performance on every type of water effect. These luminaires can create impressive million-color light shows, and if combined with VFDs on the pumps, they turn into a fully-featured, interactive Water Show fountain.
The heavy-duty, all stainless steel housing also incorporates a flow valve for spray height adjustment and each nozzle’s swivel permits easy alignment of the streams. It comes with a square or round cover, it is flush-mounted and safe to walk on. The entire kit is remarkably resistant to impacts and corrosion, and its design allows for easy & fast installation and maintenance.

The FPK 7000 is programmable.
This means mind-blowing water and light effects.
Stainless Steel
The FPK 7000 is made of pure, heavy-duty Stainless Steel. The light fixtures are made of a solid block of Stainless Steel. The strong top cover is specially treated to withstand impacts and loads, while the premium finishing provides a long-lasting sheen, exceptionally resistant to corrosion and deterioration.
Precision Engineering
The “Precision Engineering” philosophy of Fontana is evident in every element. Intelligent and exceptionally precise CNCs process all parts of the FPK 7000. Every bit is carefully designed for a specific purpose, and all parts fit with each other perfectly, in a factory-assembled system.
Safety First
The top surface of the FPK 7000 is specially treated and designed for increased slip resistance – shoes on or not. And being entirely flush into the ground, the FPK 7000 cover helps keeping toes and heels safe. Additionally, all electrical parts run on low voltage.
Commercial Grade
All parts of the FPK 7000 are made for use in commercial applications. Demanding projects, challenging environmental conditions, unattended access to the public, strict regulations, and erratic maintenance are precisely what the FPK 7000 is made for.
The famous Fontana Jellyfish effect.
Made by the Fontana YSwitch.
Lightning-fast effects by the programmable water-switching system. It uses atmospheric air to switch from up to out, produces no water hammer, and can run as fast as 10 times per second.
The Fontana YSwitch. An incredible way to create show-grade fountains and animated interactive WFs.
Exceptionally fast, accurate and impressive. The YSwitch is a programmable device that can shoot as fast as 10 times per second and create breathtaking water shows. It is also 100% duty rated, meaning it can act as a regular jet too. With a wide range of control options, from pure electrical control to direct DMX/RDM, the FPK7000 is one of the most versatile fountain kits.
Safety & Compliance at its core. The YSwitch is 24V DC (or 12V on request), making it the safe choice for interactive fountains. This also makes it compliant for public-accessible water features all over the world.
Atmospheric Air-driven. The YSwitch is a 3-way system (in – up – drain) producing no water hammer. The sealed solenoid uses atmospheric air (through the air intake) and diverts the flow of water, minimizing the risk of clogging.
Dancing Interactive Fountains is one of the best applications for the FPK7000. It can be integrated into complex, musical water features with additional water effects.
Show-grade Lighting
Using our latest and most advanced technologies, the FPK 7000 offers incredible intensity and vibrant colors, achieving show-grade lighting quality.
Vivid Lighting
The FPK 7000 uses Fontana’s successful XL300 light fixtures. Vibrant colors, high color fidelity on the entire spectrum, and perfect power-lumens ratio translate to magical lighting shows and unforgettable experiences.
Smart Technologies
A genius little LED module. Packed with technology: embedded microprocessor, comprehensive self-protections, advanced color processing capabilities, digital data transmission, interference-proof, universal control — to start with.
Application-specific Optics that concentrate light on the jet.
Embedded Microprocessor constantly monitors the fixture.
Active Thermal Protection for enhanced operation & lifespan.
Works with long cables without being affected by voltage drop.
Learn more about Technologies
The embedded microprocessor. It’s a masterpiece of lighting electronics control and the heart of our technology. A technology we constantly refine and improve for longer than 17 years.
The brain of the system constantly monitors the fixture status & temperature, optimizing performance on the fly. It communicates with the controller receiving and interpreting data about ID, color and intensity.
At the same time, the system ensures that data get delivered consistently and intelligent sub-systems keep an eye for possibly improper electrical conditions, blocking off noise and interference.
Advanced Electronics — our best technologies yet. Each Fontana LED module looks like a small computer. The profound attention to detail you would expect of Fontana is evident in every sub-system.
Unparalleled Color Fidelity. The color engine uses high-definition drivers, embedded on the PCB. This method allows for accurate, high-precision and high-fidelity control of each LED.
Famous Reliability. The discrete components of the PCB are carefully selected to meet the strictest quality, reliability and performance standards. The smart self-protections further improve the resilience of the fixture.
led:bus
led:bus is a language. It’s the language that all Fontana lights speak – a technology that we designed from scratch for underwater devices. It’s fully compatible with other languages like DMX, DMX/RDM and Dali. But with led:bus you don’t need to learn anything new, because led:bus is made to work behind the scenes – autonomously and reliably. Led:bus also allows the use of fewer and smaller cables to power and control multiple light fixtures leading to significant cost and resources savings.
With led:bus, all you have to do is connect the cables — and the whole system works by itself. The simplicity of led:bus leads to neater, more organized and manageable installations of complicated systems.
Resources Savings
Interference-Proof
Simple 3-core Cables
You can use simple, non-shielded 3-core cables to power & control multiple fixtures.
Addressable Fixtures
Each light has a unique ID and can be configured to listen to a specific address for multi-color light shows.
Integrated Drivers
The LED drivers are integrated to the module simplifying everything and significantly reducing costs.
Industrial-Grade
led:bus is a heavy-duty, extremely reliable communication protocol. It is encrypted too.
Voltage Drop: Irrelevant. Traditional LED technologies are severely affected by voltage drop. When longer cables are used, the lights further away from the power supply have lower intensity. In some occasions, they might not even work at all.
The Fontana technology is unaffected by voltage drop. Fixtures work at their full potential on any voltage between 12-24V DC (true margins: 10V to 36V DC). Every fixture outputs 100% of its intensity regardless of how far it is from the power supply.
Active Thermal Control
Constant, real-time balancing of Temperature and Performance.
Reverse Polarity
Protected from accidentally incorrect connections.
Voltage Surge
Protected from sudden surges in the circuit voltage.
