Dynamic flow
Definition
A splash pad control mode where features fire in choreographed sequences and varying pressures rather than all running steady-state, creating a programmed water-play show.
Dynamic flow is the difference between a pad where water just sprays and one that feels like a performance. Modern programmable controllers cycle features in sequences, vary pressures for crescendo effects, and sync with lighting at evening pads.
The trade-off is plumbing complexity — dynamic-flow pads need solenoid valves at every feature and a programmable logic controller. Simple all-on-all-off pads are cheaper and have far fewer failure modes.
