Description:
Like
liquid lava or an undulating glacier, the Frothy nozzle is the center of
attention in any water feature, whether ramped up
with power or downplayed and subtle. The Frothy effect is
created by a high quantity of air entrained in the water stream,
giving you a foamy effect like none other. Developed in
Germany to provide a large display with minimal water requirements,
the Frothy nozzle is among our most efficient designs.
The Frothy's effect is very "soft" in both appearance and
audible
impact and can be used in small pools and indoor
applications without creating annoyance or distraction.
This
"soft" effect also causes less splash than most nozzles. The
Frothy nozzle is a water level independent type aerator,
suitable for use in pools with an uncontrolled water
level. This nozzle can even be used in "dry" locations, such as
the top of
a boulder, column, or statue. For the most dramatic
effect, a series of Frothys placed in close proximity to each other
creates
an amazing opaque water "wall".

Technical description:
- All Frothy nozzles are
water level independent aerating types. The air is drawn by venturi
effect through a slot around the side near the top of the nozzle.
- These nozzles can be
submerged in water up to the slot level. Be sure to provide enough
freeboard on the nozzle not to disturb the air suction by wave action.
- If placed under water,
the Frothy produces a large "mound" effect with entrained pool
water.
- The Frothy 35-10E is the
only adjustable type. The water flow is adjusted by turning the nozzle
body with respect to the star handle at the bottom. Performance is
measured at the most efficient setting, however, the 35-10E is shipped
unadjusted.
- Since the Frothy nozzle
discharges above the pool water level, no check valve is required in
installations that have various level pools.
- All Frothy nozzles are
BSPP thread and require the adapters shown to mate with NPT fittings.
BSPP couplings will fit NPT
pipe.
