Champagne Fountain and Beverage Fountain Information and FAQ’s
Champagne Fountain Specifications
All of our champagne fountains are 46 inches tall and made from stainless steel with a top level waterfall leading to a middle level four spout fountain falling to a further waterfall and then into the basin itself. There is an illuminated band around the base of the fountain with two internal lights within the fountain so that it can be used in darker rooms. The fountain is 110V and fitted with a three pin plug and runs from any standard mains, all of our fountains are regularly PAT tested. The top of the fountain has a beautiful statue on which you can place a bouquet of flowers or decoration relevant to your event.
Champagne Fountain Delivery
The beverage fountains arrive in a large metal container and also include an extension lead, bag for dirty parts and wet wipes for a quick clean down before returning. The fountains are cleaned through and tested before they leave us and arrive at your location in pristine condition. The top fountain layer is screwed on and the statue sits on top of this. They are incredibly simple to use, you plug it in, just pour in your drink and switch it on using the button at the base of the fountain, in all honesty, a child could set our champagne fountains up they are so simple! The drinks fountains also arrive with a laminated instruction sheet and advice sheet for use.
Keeping Drinks Cool in a Champagne Fountain
The champagne fountains do not contain a cooler but you can put ice in the basin to keep your liquid cold. You can also put solid fruit in the basin of the fountain for flavouring, especially when you have a fruit punch or cocktail.
Champagne Fountains and Fizzy Drinks
Champagne fountains actually don’t work very well with champagne or very fizzy liquids. The reason for this is that the liquid is pumped around the fountain and this quickly aggravates the carbon dioxide out of the liquid so it goes flat quite quickly. Imagine having a half filled bottle of lemonade and shaking it for five minutes, the lemonade goes flat!
Champagne Fountains and Bits!!!
The only other limitation is that the liquid should not contain bits such as orange juice with bits, just use smooth orange juice instead. It works great with virtually all alcoholic mixers and fruit juices, cranberry is definitely a favourite! We have also used white wine, rose wine and red wine as well as still cider and even pure vodka!
Fountain Running Times
The fountain can run for extended periods of time but it is essential that the pump is switched off before the fountain runs dry! This is very simple because there is only one on/off switch on the fountain but it is important as the pump will burn out easily.
