Abstract
A swimming pool fountain including a bracket that is easily connected to the water supply of the swimming pool and is secured in a stable position relative to the wall of the pool has been provided. Means are provided for changing the vertical elevation of the fountainhead to the desired level relative to the water level of the pool. Also, the arrangement is such that it minimizes the problem of injury to swimmers and pool circulation plumbing by providing for separation upon a load being imposed on the structure. The same connection facilitates removal of the fountain structure from the pool if it should be desired and use can easily be made to the fountainhead to change the artistic aspects of the fountain.
