Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 15-degree adjustment work?
A: The nozzle head can be manually adjusted to angle the water stream 15 degrees inward (toward center) or 15 degrees outward (away from center). This allows you to fine-tune the spray pattern and create custom fountain effects. Simply rotate the nozzle head to your desired angle and it will hold that position during operation.
Q: How many nozzles do I need to create a spray ring?
A: For a balanced spray ring effect, we recommend 4-8 nozzles depending on your fountain basin size. Smaller basins (2-3 feet diameter) work well with 4-6 nozzles, while larger basins (4-6 feet diameter) benefit from 6-8 nozzles. Space them evenly around the perimeter and angle them inward for a cohesive ring pattern.
Q: What size pump do I need?
A: For a single nozzle, a 1500-2000 GPH pump provides good performance. For multiple nozzles, calculate approximately 400-500 GPH per nozzle. For example, 4 nozzles require 1600-2000 GPH, 6 nozzles need 2400-3000 GPH, and 8 nozzles require 3200-4000 GPH for optimal flow.
Q: Can I mix this nozzle with other fountain nozzles?
A: Yes! The FN1004 Direct Nozzle works beautifully in combination with other Blue Thumb fountain nozzles. Many customers create layered effects by placing direct nozzles around the perimeter and a different nozzle style (like a geyser or tiered nozzle) in the center. Ensure your pump has adequate capacity for all nozzles combined.
Q: What maintenance does this nozzle require?
A: Regularly inspect and clean the nozzle to remove debris or mineral deposits that could affect water flow. In hard water areas, soak in white vinegar periodically to dissolve mineral buildup. Check that the adjustment mechanism moves freely. Always remove and store indoors during freezing weather to prevent damage.
