Five hundred litres (132 gallons) of water per second are jetted to an altitude of 140 metres (459 feet) by two 500 kW pumps, operating at 2,400 V, consuming over one megawatt of electricity.[3][4][5]
The water leaves the nozzle at a speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). When it
is in operation, at any given moment there are about 7,000 litres
(1849 gallons) of water in the air. Unsuspecting visitors to the
fountain—which can be reached via a stone jetty from the left bank of
the lake—may be surprised to find themselves drenched after a slight
change in wind direction.
