Each bronze fluke has a four inch split which feeds the left and right dispensing mainfolds. A contolling baffel directs water under and over the large flukes to give the dripping illusion of surfacing and diving. Because the small fluke is in a more vertical pose, water flows from back to front on it. Each fluke has a volume control and submerged jets circle the main body to agitate the pool. |
