Today, it is impossible to imagine Ashgabat without fountains. Original by design, reviving the city landscape with wonderful water spurts and purling cascades, they became the feature of the look of the capital, sonorous decorative accents in the alleys, parks and squares.
But in order to enjoy the fountains for a long time, it needs in correct keeping and care. This activity is carried out by crew of Management for exploitation and servicing of fountains of Ashgabat.
At first sight, their task is easy – to bring fountain to proper state. But, in truth, whole working day is spent to clean one complex. Here, engineer-operator cut off the water, having pressed on one of numerous buttons of system control panel of the complex. As a result, water goes away with powerful head back through pipes. But at first sight, the bottom of pool seems clean, even to propagate fishes.
In truth, dirty is accumulated on the walls of pool with the lapse of time. They are invisible, but if not to remove them, they can be good ground for appearing harmful bacteria and fungous mass. Modern detergents allow keeping the fountains clean, which corresponds with sanitary norms.
Every fountain has its own reservoir, which volumes depend on sizes of pool. Water is provided from wells by plastic pipes, and as far as the reservoir is filled, it is actuated a system, cutting off the water supply. Now, it will circulate until next purification. Operator turns on the pumps, and reservoir starts to fill with water. By the way, electrotechnical equipment of the fountain is quite complicated. It consists of pumps, filtration system, electromagnetic valves, different transducers, spotlamps of illumination and electric control desk.
Automatic control system of fountains is capable to turn on and off the light in due time, control the level and add water in bowl while its natural evaporation and sprinkling. Moreover, the system is capable to correct the height of water spurts depending on power of wind, protect the pumps from dry piston, realize the water filtration, control the temperature and air moisture in pumping compartment, as well as fulfil other technological operations. Every fountain complex is fitted with control panel. And 697 persons service whole water spectacular sight of the capital.
