The ultimate Jumping Jet
A mind-blowing water effect that defies the laws of gravity and fluid physics. This glass-like stream always follows its arc-shaped, parabolic trajectory without falling under it. It is essentially a water rod, so steady that it resembles glass and yet, so lively. Seeing this special water effect from up close is a remarkable experience both day and night with its fantastic million-color light spectrum.

Remarkable Build Quality
All-Stainless-Steel & Premium Finishing
We precisely engineered and manufacture these jets to be stunning in every manner. Construction-wise, they are entirely made of stainless steel, inside-out, to ensure the integrity of the jet & the water effect. They remain pristine under the harshest conditions for years to come, even when operating overtime.
Precision is the essence of Jumping Jets. To achieve the highest level of quality, we utilize an array of state-of-the-art machines like laser cutters and CNCs to manufacture these jets.

The Fontana Jumping Jets are famous for their impressive performance. The water and light effects you can create with these jets are endless, allowing for complex, intricate choreographies.
Poping, bursting, jumping, dueling – at variable points, heights & distances. It’s literally one of the most magical water effects one can experience.

With high-fidelity embedded LED lighting, the MXP Jumping Jets achieve full-beam lighting, having the entire laminar stream lit perfectly – in billions of colors.

Praised for the
full-stream lighting and the incredible color richness.
The Fontana jumping jets have internal, full-color lighting. The powerful light source makes light travel through the entire stream – from the output of the nozzle up to where the stream meets the surface. Vibrant colors stand out in the dark and create this fantastic, magical effect.
Advanced electronics, smart technologies, and special optics work together to create laser-focused, high-intensity lighting in 4.2 billion colors – at just 8W at full power. Easily controllable via DMX/RDM, or the more efficient led:bus.
All-new Cutter
Jumping Jets are made to pop, burst, jump. Over and over. The MXP series feature an all-new, re-designed cutter. Completely re-engineered from scratch and using intelligent technologies, the new cutter can do its magic all day and night long. It can work continuously without breaking a sweat.
Virtually inaudible and consuming just a fraction of the power the previous generation needed, the MXP series is the most efficient Jumping Jet we have ever created. It makes an excellent cut, at exceptional speeds, at a hard to perceive rate. This makes it possible to generate mind-boggling water effects that were traditionally possible only with much larger systems.
The MXP can work continuously all-day. There is no limit to this and there is no need to cut the stream every now and then.
The phenomenal engineering of the new cutting mechanism makes it 90% more energy efficient compared to the previous generation.
The new cutter is virtually inaudible. There is no mechanical sound or other noises when the device is activated or deactivated.
One 10th of the second. That’s how long it takes for the cutting mechanism to cut the laminar stream. And it can do this 10 times per second at an unforeseen rate and repeatability.
The lightning-fast cutter combined with the internal two-stage drop-catcher is what creates a splash-free, crystal clear water stream flying in the air.
One cable.
Our most advanced technologies embedded.
The MXP series Jumping Jets need only one cable for power & control of the light and the cutter. They work with direct DMX/RDM and can be configured remotely via NFC — even without power.
Fontana Jumping Jets are now controllable via direct DMX/ RDM connection. A standardized, universal method of control that gives you complete control of the jet, with a wide selection of controllers and apps available. It also provides vital diagnostics and the device status back to the main controller via RDM (Remote Device Management).
NFC Configuration Technology
MXP Series Jumping Jets now feature the new Fontana NFC configuration technology. A simple tap on the jet with your smartphone, and you can see the device status, configure its settings and enable or disable the standalone mode. And you can do all these without having to power up the jet.
- Automatic Discovery
- No Power required
- DMX setup
- Usage Statistic
1 One DMX connection is required for both the cutter and the light.
2 A non-DMX version of MXP Jumping Jets is also available and can be controlled via PLCs or other electrical command-based systems.
3 Fontana is a recognized and formally registered DMX/RDM manufacturer listed with the ID 0965h.
4 The Tapp app is currently only available for Android devices, due to software and hardware limitations of Apple devices.
The MXP series jumping jets require just one cable to operate. This drastically reduces the workhours at the site and the cable costs – practically by 50%.
All the controllers and drivers are integrated to the jet, you don’t have to make complex control panels with Solid State Relays, LED controllers etc.
In this mode you only need to provide power to the jet and it creates light shows and beautiful choreographies on its won.
