Holy Super Foam Jets

I am going to be upgrading my current foam jet fountain and I was
wondering if there are any foam jet fountain experts around.

I currently own a Beckett 535 GPH fountain pump hooked up to a standard
Beckett Foam Jet which gives me about a 2 foot high stream of foam
water (closer to 22 inches after the pump filter is just rinsed out).

What I need to know is about how high of a foam jet I could expect
using something like a Cal Pump P1600-2 with a CalPump FoamJet nozzle:

This pump is rated at about 1600 GPH instead of 535 that my existing
pump puts out.

Would I gain at least another foot or more with this new pump/nozzle
combo over my existing setup?


One more question. I have noticed that WaterFall Pumps put out way more
gallons per hour and cost relativley the same price.

What would happen if you used a Calpump PW4000 (4000 GPH WaterFall
Pump) with a Calpump foam jet fountain instead of a waterfall?

Would this setup effectively double and triple my current foam jet
height of 2 feet to 4 or 6 feet? Or would that fountain not be able to
handle that much pressure and just pop off the pump or cause the pump
to malfunction since the pump is designed for a waterfall and not a
fountain? Any downside to using a waterfall pump for a fountain?

In case you are wondering, my current 535 GPH pump is only used for the
fountain and none of it is being diverted to anything else, same would
be true if I purchase a new pump.

Thanks.
