As a seawater fountain project, the technical complexity of building a fountain on fresh water is much higher. First of all, the salt-alkali content is different, and the seawater is also accompanied by sand and gravel. Therefore, it is very difficult to reach the seawater to a certain height and requires sufficient pressure support. With the help of modern technology, designers finally found a design and construction plan: the key is to design a high-pressure water pump, which must have enough pressure to spray seawater into the sky, and the pipeline design must also prevent seawater corrosion and gravel blockage. The designer of the Marine Wonders Project said that they first found a 90-meter high slope and built a power distribution station on it, and the supporting structure was built on another high slope. A flat piece of land was dug out of the seabed, and the pipeline was laid 30 meters under the sea.

Pumps and pipes cannot be seen on land. In order to spray a water column with a considerable height, there are 3 centrifugal rotators and 18 auxiliary pumps (each 3.5 mW). The water pump pumps out 625 liters of water every second, and the two main pumps pump water at the same time. On a calm day, the seawater can reach a height of 312 meters (1,024 feet).
