FLAME & IMPACT EFFECT SYSTEMS

Compressed-Air Water Cannon

Powerful Water Bursts for Musical Fountains and Water Shows.

The Huaxin compressed-air water cannon creates sudden, powerful bursts of water for musical fountains, dancing fountains, and multimedia water shows. Also known as an air explosion fountain device, it adds a strong visual and acoustic accent to key moments in a performance.

From a single focal point to a coordinated sequence across multiple units, the effect can be planned around the fountain layout, music, and overall show design.

What Is an Air Explosion Fountain?

An air explosion fountain uses compressed air to produce a sudden burst of water. The result is a powerful vertical effect with a distinct sound, making it suitable for musical accents, transitions, and climactic moments.

Unlike a continuously flowing high jet, the water cannon is used as an intermittent show effect. Its impact comes from the contrast between the sudden burst and the surrounding fountain movements.

Huaxin integrates compressed-air water cannons into musical fountain systems alongside moving jets, lighting, music, and other programmed effects.

Why Choose a Huaxin Compressed-Air Water Cannon?

A Strong Accent for Key Show Moments

The rapid water burst introduces an immediate change in height and visual intensity. Use it to emphasize a musical beat, mark a transition, or build toward a show finale.

Coordinate Multiple Units Across the Fountain

Arrange water cannons in a line, group, or other project-specific layout. With a compatible fountain control system, multiple units can be triggered together or in sequence to create different rhythms across the installation.

Equipment Planned Around the Complete System

The water cannon is part of a larger compressed-air, electrical, and fountain control arrangement. Huaxin supports equipment selection and system coordination according to the required effect, quantity, site conditions, and show design.

Compressed-Air Water Cannon Unit

The water cannon unit is installed as part of the fountain system and connected to the compressed-air supply and control arrangement. Huaxin offers equipment options for different target effects and project layouts.

Compressed-Air Supply

The compressed-air system must be selected around the number of water cannons, the required operating pressure, and the intended show sequence. The air compressor and related pipework are configured according to the project.

Control and Show Programming

The water cannon can be integrated with a compatible fountain control system. Trigger timing is coordinated with music, lighting, and other effects during show programming.

Project-Specific Equipment Selection

Target water height, available installation space, air supply capacity, and operating sequence all influence the final configuration. Huaxin can review these requirements during the design stage.

Installation, Air Supply & Control

Plan the water cannon together with the fountain’s compressed-air supply, pipework, electrical system, and show controller. The installation layout should provide sufficient space for the equipment and access for inspection and maintenance.

Air compressor capacity and pipework requirements depend on the selected model, number of units, and operating sequence. When several units are expected to operate close together in time, these requirements should be considered during system design.

Water depth, equipment positioning, and site conditions should be confirmed for the selected configuration. Huaxin can provide project-specific installation and system information during technical coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

An air explosion fountain is a fountain effect that uses compressed air to create a sudden burst of water. It is commonly used as an accent in musical fountains and multimedia water shows.

A continuous high jet produces a sustained stream of water. A compressed-air water cannon creates an intermittent burst, making it useful for moments that need a sudden visual and acoustic impact.

Multiple units can be configured within the same fountain system. Their timing can be coordinated with a compatible control system, subject to the air supply capacity and project configuration.

Yes. The water cannon can be integrated into a compatible fountain control system so that its timing is coordinated with music, lighting, and other programmed fountain effects.

Compressor selection depends on the water cannon model, number of units, required pressure, and operating sequence. These factors should be reviewed together when planning the fountain system.

Huaxin compressed-air water cannon models provide indicative water burst heights from 15–16 m to 70–78 m, depending on the model. Actual height depends on the compressed-air system and operating conditions.
