In our daily life, there are some fountains in many large buildings or high-end communities. The seemingly beautiful fountains actually have a great potential for safety! On August 18, a little girl walking her dog in the landscape fountains near huayucheng community, Tiexi District, Siping, Jilin Province, was electrocuted and fell to the ground. It was found that her mother and grandmother came forward to rescue and were shocked. The little girl died that night. At present, the incident is under further processing.
What are the hidden dangers of landscape fountains?
He explained that most of the fountains are dry sprays, which are places that do not seem to spray water, and are likely to spray water suddenly. The water of the fountain is delivered by the diving pump under high pressure. The fountain mouth with a diameter of less than 2cm can eject a water column with a height of more than 10m, and the jet hitting force is more than 3kg. If it is a large-scale fountain, when the water column hits a height of half meter, the water column speed is about 20m per second, and the generated impact force can reach about 25kg.
Another problem, he said, is leakage. In general, the safety factor of fountain is very high, and the probability of leakage accident is very small. The leakage accident of fountain is mainly due to the aging of cable which has been soaked in water for a long time.
Who will pay for fountain maintenance?
In recent days, reporters have visited many fountains in Wuhan. Most of the fountains in communities and park squares only indicate the potential danger of drowning near the fountains, but ignore the warning of potential leakage. Among them, only one fountain in Zhongshan Park has a warning sign of "electricity in the pool". In Tongxin garden, the property said the fountain was only opened at major festivals or celebrations because of the high maintenance costs. Some community fountains are out of service for a long time.
The head of a fountain installation engineering company in Wuhan told reporters that the service life of fountain manufacturing and maintenance is usually one year. After that, the cost of failure will be paid by the investor or property company. He thinks that the fountain project invested by the government and the unit is good, but the fountain in the community may be in trouble. The maintenance funds are all from the property management fees, which will urge some property companies to save costs and reduce the times of fountain maintenance, resulting in potential safety hazards.
