Challenge

Heathland Group was contacted by Champneys with a requirement for an aerating fountain at Mottram Hall Hotel in Cheshire. It needed to be aesthetically-pleasing as the hotel is frequently used for weddings, scenic getaways and spa days. As well as providing a wonderful visual effect, the display also needed to help increase the dissolved oxygen levels within the lake.

Solution

After looking at the size of the water body many suggestions were made, and the 5HP Select Series 2 Delmar aerating lake fountain with 30Watt LED lighting was selected, with a staggering flow rate of 110m3/h. The Select Series 2 fountain range delivers outstanding value for money as the fountain also provides aeration alongside a magnificent display. The SS2 Delmar consists of a single centre geyser surrounded by a lower tier of 16 thick arching streams. Optional weighted mooring anchors were chosen to weigh down the fountain and prevent it from drifting in the lake. High-quality fountain controllers were also installed to enable a timer to be set for when the hotel would like the fountain and lighting running, removing the need to manually turn it off and on.

Installation

Heathland's team performed a clean installation ensuring there was no disturbance from running the cabling underground to the lake from the controller. The team selected the best spot to place the fountain within the lake to get maximum visual impact from all angles. During the installation, the fountain and lighting were tested before being signed off. This commitment to a total quality installation demonstrates the company's ISO 9001:2015 registration as a trusted company.
