SV-NZ-WAV Waving Greeting Fountain Module – Dynamic Motion Effect for Musical Fountains and Water Shows
In modern musical fountain and water show systems, water is no longer limited to fixed spray patterns. By combining mechanical motion, control systems, lighting and music synchronization, each jet can become an active part of the performance.
The SV-NZ-WAV Waving Greeting Fountain Module is developed by Smart Vision for this purpose.
It is a motorized dynamic fountain module featuring two symmetrical moving arms that operate in synchronization to create a distinctive waving or wing-like water effect.
This effect is particularly suitable for plazas, parks, entertainment venues, urban developments, hotels, resorts and large-scale water shows where a recognizable moving centerpiece is required.
What is the SV-NZ-WAV?
The SV-NZ-WAV is a motorized artistic fountain module designed to create dynamic movement instead of a conventional fixed spray pattern.
Its basic configuration includes:
-
2 moving arms, approximately 2,000 mm per side
-
6 × DN25 jet nozzles
-
3 nozzles on each arm
-
1 × IP68 submersible drive motor
-
Main frame and mechanical structure in SUS304 stainless steel
-
Designed for submerged fountain installation
-
Can be integrated into a central fountain control system
When the motor drives the two arms, all six water jets change direction together with the mechanical movement, creating a visual effect that is significantly more dynamic than standard fixed fountain nozzles.
Waving Greeting Effect – Turning Water into a Moving Performance Element
The most distinctive feature of the SV-NZ-WAV is the synchronized movement of its two fountain arms.
Instead of producing stationary water columns, the jets continuously change direction as the mechanism moves.
From the front, the effect can resemble:
-
two arms waving;
-
a pair of wings opening and closing;
-
a welcoming gesture;
-
synchronized symmetrical motion;
-
or part of a programmed musical fountain choreography.
This is why Smart Vision refers to the effect as:
Waving Greeting Fountain Effect
The module transforms water from a passive visual element into an active part of the performance.
Basic Construction of the SV-NZ-WAV
1. Two Moving Fountain Arms
The system uses two mechanically linked arms arranged symmetrically.
The typical arm length is approximately:
2,000 mm per side
Three jet nozzles are installed on each arm.
The two arms can move in synchronization through a centralized transmission mechanism.
This arrangement creates a relatively wide performance zone while keeping the entire motion under a single coordinated mechanical system.
2. Six DN25 Jet Nozzles
The SV-NZ-WAV uses:
6 × DN25 jet nozzles
Configuration:
-
Left arm: 3 nozzles
-
Right arm: 3 nozzles
The water jets are positioned along the two moving arms.
As the arms move, the direction of all six jets changes accordingly, producing a moving water plane rather than six independent fixed jets.
Actual spray height and projection distance depend on:
-
pump flow;
-
pump head;
-
pipe diameter;
-
nozzle configuration;
-
installation angle;
-
and project-specific performance requirements.
For this reason, Smart Vision can calculate the hydraulic configuration separately for each project.
IP68 Submersible Motor – Designed for Fountain Environments
One of the key requirements of any mechanical fountain effect is reliable operation in wet or submerged environments.
The SV-NZ-WAV uses:
1 × IP68 Submersible Drive Motor
The motor is selected according to the mechanical load and required movement speed of the project.
The final motor rating depends on factors including:
-
arm length;
-
mechanical weight;
-
required torque;
-
movement speed;
-
hydraulic load;
-
operating cycle;
-
and choreography requirements.
The IP68 design makes the drive system suitable for underwater fountain applications and helps minimize the need for above-water motor installation.
Main Structure in SUS304 Stainless Steel
Dynamic fountain modules are continuously exposed to:
-
water;
-
high humidity;
-
water treatment chemicals;
-
outdoor environments;
-
UV exposure;
-
and repeated operating cycles.
For this reason, the main structure of the SV-NZ-WAV is manufactured from SUS304 stainless steel.
Key advantages include:
-
good corrosion resistance;
-
high mechanical strength;
-
suitability for fountain applications;
-
easier cleaning and maintenance;
-
longer service life than conventional carbon-steel structures.
For special environments, alternative materials or protection requirements can be evaluated according to project conditions.
More Than a Nozzle – A Dynamic Fountain Module
A conventional fountain nozzle mainly controls the shape and direction of water.
The SV-NZ-WAV combines:
Water + Mechanics + Motion + Control
This gives fountain designers an additional movement layer for choreography.
A simplified hydraulic sequence can be described as:
Pump → Water Pressure → DN25 Nozzles → Moving Arms → Dynamic Water Effect
The movement system operates independently through:
Controller → Control Panel → Motor Drive → Mechanical Arm Movement
Both systems work together to create the final visual effect seen by the audience.
Integration with PLC, DMX and Art-Net
The SV-NZ-WAV does not need to operate as a standalone device.
Its motorized mechanism can be integrated into a central fountain control system.
Depending on the project, the system can use:
-
Motor Contactor
-
VFD – Variable Frequency Drive
-
PLC
-
DMX512
-
Art-Net
-
Smart Vision Fountain Controller
This allows engineers to program different movement sequences for the two fountain arms.
Slow Movement
The arms can slowly open and close to create a calm and elegant introduction.
Music-Synchronized Movement
Movement speed and timing can be programmed to match musical beats or dramatic peaks.
Movement with Lighting
Underwater RGB or RGBW lights can change color simultaneously with the movement of the fountain arms.
Movement with Pumps and Valves
In larger systems, the module can operate together with:
-
VFD-controlled pumps;
-
solenoid valves;
-
jumping jets;
-
rotary nozzles;
-
1D / 2D / 3D moving nozzles;
-
Digital Water Curtain systems;
-
DMX-controlled lighting.
Combining SV-NZ-WAV with Other Dynamic Fountain Effects
In a professional musical fountain, the SV-NZ-WAV Waving Greeting Fountain Module can be used as a standalone centerpiece or combined with other dynamic nozzles to create more advanced choreography.
Several fountain products are especially suitable for this purpose.
SV-NZ-CNC1 – One-Dimensional CNC Nozzle
The SV-NZ-CNC1 One-Dimensional CNC Nozzle is a single-axis moving fountain nozzle that allows the jet direction to change according to the control program.
When SV-NZ-CNC1 nozzles are arranged together with the SV-NZ-WAV, the fountain can create multiple motion layers.
The SV-NZ-WAV provides the synchronized twin-arm waving effect, while the 1D CNC nozzles create independently controlled movements at individual positions.

SV-NZ-CNC2 – Two-Dimensional CNC Nozzle
For water shows requiring more complex movement, the SV-NZ-CNC2 Two-Dimensional CNC Nozzle allows the water jet to move in two directions.
The combination of:
SV-NZ-WAV + SV-NZ-CNC1 + SV-NZ-CNC2
can create multiple layers of movement within the same performance, including:
-
synchronized wing-like waving motion;
-
single-axis jet movement;
-
two-axis jet movement;
-
symmetrical patterns;
-
phase-shifted movement;
-
wave effects;
-
music-synchronized motion.

Combining SV-NZ-WAV with RGB / RGBW Underwater Lighting
Water movement becomes significantly more impressive when synchronized with underwater lighting.
For fountain nozzle applications, Smart Vision can use the SV-FR Fountain Ring Underwater LED Light series.
These ring-shaped lights are designed to be installed around fountain nozzles, allowing light to illuminate the water column directly from the source.
Representative models include:
-
SV-FR-170GK
-
SV-FR-190GK
-
SV-FR-215GK
-
SV-FR-250GK
These products are built for underwater fountain environments and use stainless-steel construction with high ingress protection.

SV-FR-215GK – Fountain Ring Underwater LED Light
When connected to the control system, light colors can change together with SV-NZ-WAV movement, producing a combined effect:
Motion + Water + RGB/RGBW Light + Music
rather than a purely mechanical fountain movement.
Underwater LED Spotlights for Additional Lighting Layers
In addition to fountain ring lights, SV-UL Underwater LED Spotlights can be installed below the water surface or aimed toward the performance area to provide additional background illumination.
A representative model is:
SV-UL-170G Underwater LED Spotlight
This type of light is suitable for locations where independent illumination is required without necessarily being installed concentrically around a nozzle.

SV-UL-170G – Underwater LED Spotlight
Combining fountain ring lights and underwater spotlights allows the system to achieve:
-
direct jet illumination;
-
background lighting;
-
area lighting;
-
synchronized color changes;
-
enhanced spatial depth.
Why the Waving Greeting Effect Creates a Strong Visual Impact
In a large musical fountain, increasing the number of nozzles does not always create a better show.
A small number of special moving modules can sometimes create a stronger visual impression than dozens of fixed jets.
The SV-NZ-WAV achieves this through three main characteristics.
Easy-to-Recognize Movement
The audience can immediately recognize the movement of the two fountain arms.
Large Motion Envelope
With arms approximately 2 meters long on each side, the module creates a relatively wide dynamic performance area.
Strong Performance Character
The movement can be used almost like a “character” in the choreography instead of simply functioning as background water.
This is particularly valuable in modern water shows and musical fountain performances.
Applications of the SV-NZ-WAV
The Waving Greeting Fountain Module can be used in many types of projects.
Public Square Musical Fountains
The module can be installed in the center or on both sides of the water stage to create a recognizable signature movement.
Park Fountains
The moving effect makes the fountain visually interesting even during daytime operation.
Hotels and Resorts
SV-NZ-WAV can be used as a signature water feature at entrances, landscape pools or entertainment areas.
Urban Developments
One or more dynamic fountain modules can help create a unique visual identity for a central plaza or public space.
Theme Parks and Entertainment Venues
The module is especially suitable for shows requiring playful, dynamic and easily recognizable water movement.
Water Stages
SV-NZ-WAV can be combined with lighting, lasers, audio systems and other moving fountain effects for complete multimedia performances.
Suggested Fountain Layouts
The SV-NZ-WAV can be arranged in several ways.
Single Central Module
One module placed in the center of the fountain can act as the main visual centerpiece.
Two Symmetrical Modules
Two units installed on opposite sides of the water stage can create a balanced symmetrical choreography.
Multiple Modules in a Row
Multiple modules can operate with timing offsets to create a moving wave across the length of the fountain.
Combined with High Central Jets
SV-NZ-WAV can operate at low or medium visual levels while high vertical jets create a large background layer.
Combined with RGB / RGBW Lighting
Lighting can change together with the arm movement to significantly improve nighttime performance.
