Certains jets s'élevent jusqu'à 9 mètres de hauteur. Sa superficie est de 2400 mètres carrés. L'installation a nécessité 10 km de conduites hydrauliques et 15 km de câblage électrique.

This majestic fountain involves a number of technical elements. The platform on which the fountain and its two architectural pools are built is 2,400 square metres, which is about half the size of a football field. Over 10 kilometres of underground pipes have been installed to feed the fountain.
A total of 38 pumps power the 160 water jets so they can spray up to 9 metres in height. There are also 172 LED lights on the platform, creating a modern and impressive lighting display.
