1. A fountain apparatus comprising:
a wall insert including a cylindrical body member having a first end and second end, an internal cylindrical housing within the body member, a central fluid flow path extending from the first end of the body member through the internal cylindrical housing to the second end of the body member, and a fluid passageway extending from the central fluid flow path to the second end of the body member through a space defined by an outer surface of the internal cylindrical housing and an inner surface of the body member;
a wall insert reservoir cap including an annular body member and an upper housing, the annular body member having an internal cylindrical wall, the internal cylindrical wall having an internal bore, a second fluid passageway extending from a first end of the annular body member through a space between an outer wall of the annular body member and an outer surface of the internal cylindrical wall to an upper end of the upper housing, the first end of the annular body member being releasably engageable with the second end of the cylindrical body member on the wall insert so that the second fluid passageway is in fluid communication with the fluid passageway in the wall insert, and the internal bore of the internal cylindrical wall is aligned with the internal cylindrical housing in the wall insert;
a reservoir locking cap having a cylindrical body member having an inner bore, the cylindrical body member of the reservoir locking cap being adapted to be received within the internal bore of the internal cylindrical wall of the wall insert reservoir cap, a first end of the cylindrical body member of the reservoir locking cap being adapted for threadable engagement with the internal cylindrical housing in the wall insert, and the inner bore of the cylindrical body member of the reservoir locking cap in fluid communication with the central fluid flow path in the wall insert;
a jet nozzle ball having an annular body including an internal fluid passageway leading from a first end of the annular body to a second end of the annular body, the first end of the annular body being adapted for engagement within a second end of the cylindrical body member on the reservoir locking cap;
a jet nozzle cap having a central aperture adapted to receive the second end of the annular body on the jet nozzle ball, the jet nozzle cap being adapted for threadable engagement with a second end of the cylindrical body member on the reservoir locking cap; and
a stream nozzle tip including an angled body member, the angled body member including an internal fluid flow path therethrough extending from a first end of the angled body member to a second end of the angled body member, the first end of the angled body member being adapted for mating engagement with the upper end of the upper housing on the wall insert reservoir cap, and the angled body member including at least one exit jet port.
