1. A water control system, comprising:
at least one water effect device configured to use a water source to emit water responsive to a control signal;
a plurality of sensors configured to generate water condition data of a closed-loop water source; and
a controller comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor, the instructions configured to cause the controller to:
receive the water condition data from the plurality of sensors;
determine whether the water condition data is indicative of a passing water quality or a failing water quality of the closed-loop water source;
transmit the control signal to the at least one water effect device to emit water using the closed-loop water source as the water source upon determining that the water condition data is indicative of the passing water quality; and
transmit the control signal to the water effect device to deactivate water emission when the water condition data is indicative of the failing water quality.
