"Dry
Deck" fountain systems incorporate an "on grade",
continuous hardscape surface treatment constructed of poured concrete,
concrete, brick or terrazzo pavers, mosaic tiles, granite pavers,
non-ferrous grate material, or resilient "safety deck"
material, supported on a below deck stanchion system or combined
with a remote storage/surge tank.

In-pool
equipment is hidden from view below the deck with nozzles and
light fixtures installed flush to the hardscape surface, minimizing
trip/slip hazards, and allowing the pedestrian to enter the feature
space to interact with the fountain system. Pumping and filtration
system equipment is typically located in a remote, below grade mechanical
enclosure.

An
additional benefit from the flush "dry deck" fountain
approach is to free the space for other uses when the fountain system
is not operational.
