Thanks Kevin, although I think it is a pretty slick looking fountain, I don't think it has much character aside from it's size(It is about 15' tall). The pump was put in by a pool company and sits in the pool at the bottom. I think it has a 1-1/2" pipe going up which splits into a manifold filling a decent sized tank at the top. Water runs over the lip of the tank and flows down. This was the pool companies suggestion, and I will never follow it again. So much care and effort had to be put in to seal the tank, get the water up there evenly, and leveling the lip of the tank. It was very time consuming. I later found out(about a week after I finished) that we could have used a smaller manifold system(1/2" pipe) that sprayed water onto the face of the plane. No tank at all and a smaller pump. It would have been much easier to install and maintain. Live and learn.
