Water Odyssey (Fountain People)
Water Odyssey is the aquatic play division of Fountain People, established in 1996 to design and manufacture interactive water features and aquatic playground equipment. Its product lines run from ground and deck-level spray features to themed structures, aqua slides, cause-and-effect features, and multilevel aquatic play structures, plus custom theming built to a client's own idea.
A project moves through discovery, concept design, and engineering. The in-house team of artists, engineers, sculptors, and painters works from the owner's goals, produces 3D renderings and, if wanted, fly-through animations, then prepares plan views, piping diagrams, mechanical and electrical schematics, product specifications, and CAD details for construction. The company also helps owners budget for a project, plan for ongoing operating costs, and look for grants that could fund it.
Water Odyssey does not install. It maintains a network of certified installers across North America and will connect an owner with a qualified contractor, and it offers free design support to consultants. After installation it provides startup and commissioning, staff maintenance training, splash pad controller programming, technical troubleshooting by phone, site evaluations, and replacement parts from stock.
Products are made in the USA and fabricated at the Fountain People facilities in San Marcos, Texas. Pricing is quoted per project.
