Keep Fountains Flowing. Build Wind-Smart Features.
Meet strict municipal water conservation codes, prevent overspray liability, and maintain stunning guest experiences. The WindRanger Smart Controller delivers automated, multi-stage wind response for new designs and retrofits, with industry-first wireless technology that eliminates expensive conduit runs.
Simple, adjustable touchscreen menus let operators tune custom speed thresholds and delay timers in seconds.
SkyLink Wireless eliminates expensive concrete trenching, getting your wind-responsive feature up and running in hours.
Satisfies strict Southwest municipal codes mandating automatic wind-shutoff controls.
Experience Staged Wind Control
Traditional wind switches are 'all-or-nothing'; they kill your fountain's aesthetic at the first gust. Play with the slider below to see how WindRanger gradually reduces output to maintain the display under moderate winds.
Fountain Operation State
With gentle winds of 6 MPH, the fountain operates at 100% capacity.
All thresholds are adjustable.
Engineered for Reliability, Built for Performance
We solve the three biggest engineering, regulatory, and design challenges when implementing commercial wind controls.
1. Eliminate Costly Trenching
Trenching hundreds of feet of conduit through concrete plazas to wire an anemometer is expensive, slow, and delays project handovers.
Our Solution: SkyLink Wireless transmits secure wind data up to 5 miles line-of-sight. Cut installation labor in half.
2. Keep Features Active Longer
Traditional wind switches shut fountains down completely at the first gust, leaving resorts and commercial plazas with a dry, lifeless water feature.
Our Solution: WindRanger supports up to 4 configurable stages to step down plume heights instead of shutting off entirely.
3. Turnkey Code Compliance
Drought-prone areas enforce strict water waste rules. Projects risk permit delays or rejection without automated wind-shutoff controls.
Our Solution: WindRanger controls satisfy strict municipal codes (including Scottsdale Code Chapter 49 & Glendale Water Conservation) out-of-the-box.
How WindRanger Works
WindRanger measures real-time wind speed and applies staged, proportional responses to maintain water feature aesthetics without overspray.
Detect Wind Speed
The anemometer measures instantaneous wind speeds using continuous high-frequency sampling to eliminate false triggers.
Evaluate Thresholds
The onboard controller compares live wind speed to your programmed Stage 1, Stage 2, or Shutdown setpoints.
Modulate Output
Dry-contact relays command VFDs or valves to reduce nozzle pressure and step down water heights incrementally.
Smart Self-Recovery
When winds drop below thresholds for a sustained duration, the system automatically restores full fountain display height.
