How Much Does A Musical Fountain Cost?
- 2024-3-20
The cost to build a musical fountain will vary a lot depending on location, customers’ requirements, size, and a variety of other factors. These factors include the type of fountains (such as a floating musical fountain or a dry fountain), the area of the fountain (100 square meters or 1,000 square meters), the complexity of the design, the type of materials used, the sophistication of the sound and lighting system, and the location of the installation.
The cost of a relatively simple musical fountain is about USD 20,000. However, those complex large musical fountains have long production cycles, complex installation environments, and the use of high-cost new technologies such as digital nozzles, fire sprays, and water curtain movies. Equipment may cost millions or even tens of millions of dollars. Currently, the most expensive musical fountain in the world is the Dubai Fountain, whose construction cost is estimated to be US$200 million.
For a small and simple musical fountain, a budget of at least USD 20,000 is usually required. For medium to large-scale fountain projects designed for parks, lakes or important commercial areas, the cost budget is usually more than USD 100,000.
When a musical fountain company calculates the cost of a musical dancing fountain, it usually includes the following aspects:
- Music Fountain Pipe Material: The choice of musical fountain pipe material (such as PVC, galvanized pipe, or stainless steel pipe) will significantly affect the cost. Although stainless steel pipes cost more, they are often recommended due to their longer service life.
- Musical Fountain Pump and Filtration System: Choosing the right water pump for your musical fountain is critical to ensuring the durability of your musical fountain equipment. Types of fountain pumps include cast iron fountain pumps, stainless steel fountain pumps, 316 stainless steel seawater pumps and SP stainless steel fountain pumps. The appropriate water pump needs to be selected according to the type of fountain.
- Music fountain sound and lighting system: The advanced sound and lighting system of the music fountain is crucial to the performance of the water fountain show. The lighting system adopts DMX512 control method, which can achieve synchronization of color and water effects, which is a relatively popular configuration at present.
- Musical Fountain Installation: Musical fountain installation costs, including labor and lifting charges, will vary based on the location and complexity of the project. Based on many years of installation experience, the installation cost accounts for about 15% of the material cost.
