Urban cooling has long been treated as a construction problem. A fountain, a shaded plaza, or a redesigned public square typically means years of design, permitting, and building work before anyone feels the difference. The AERISIO Oasis takes a different path. It is a walkable cooling fountain, engineered as a modular product and installed above ground in weeks, without excavation or construction.
This article explains what the Oasis is, how it is designed and installed, how its water is kept safe, and what makes it a genuinely different option for cities and property owners facing longer, hotter summers.
The clearest way to understand the Oasis is to place it beside the traditional approach it replaces.
| Traditional fountain | AERISIO Oasis | |
|---|---|---|
| Design time | Months of custom engineering | Automated engineering |
| Installation | Multi-year construction project | Above ground, in days |
| Groundworks | Excavation and foundations | Installs on any hard surface |
| Disruption | Construction downtime | No construction, no downtime |
| Connections | Complex civil works | Water, drain, and electricity |
| Relocation | Permanent and fixed | Modular and relocatable |
The difference is not incremental. A traditional walkable fountain is a capital construction project measured in years. The Oasis is a product, measured in weeks.
Every Oasis follows the same four steps, from first design to long-term operation.
1. Configured. The AERISIO Configurator automates site-specific design and engineering, accounting for the available area, the surrounding aesthetics, and local regulatory requirements. It produces shop-ready drawings, a bill of materials, and a price estimate automatically. Shape, jet count, size, surface, water style, and lighting are all chosen at this stage.
2. Manufactured. The modular system is manufactured and assembled in Europe, in weeks rather than months, using standardized components.
3. Installed. The Oasis installs above ground on any existing hard surface, requiring only three standard utility connections: electricity, a water inlet, and a gravity drain. There is no excavation, no foundation work, and no construction downtime for the surrounding space.
4. Monitored. Once active, the Oasis is monitored continuously by the AERISIO WAVE, the edge intelligence system built into every unit. The WAVE tracks water health and system performance in real time and flags maintenance the moment it is needed. It includes predictive and real-time maintenance.
For any public or commercial water feature, safety is the first question, and the Oasis is engineered to answer it. The system uses pool-grade water treatment, including filtration, ultraviolet, and chlorine disinfection, with automated water quality monitoring across its operation. It is built with CE-certified products and finished with a non-slip surface designed for high-traffic environments, safe for children to play in.
Because the system can run as a closed loop, water can be continuously treated and recirculated rather than drawn fresh and discarded, which keeps quality consistent but water consumption low. However, the advanced water system is modular, so that it can easily adapt to any local or federal requirement governing water safety and systems.
The Oasis is designed to deliver cooling with a fraction of the environmental cost of a traditional fountain. It recirculates more than 95% of its water in a closed loop, and because it installs above ground without excavation, foundations, or demolition, it avoids the embodied carbon associated with conventional civil construction. Energy consumption is low, and the entire system is modular and relocatable, so it is never a stranded asset if a space changes use.
The AERISIO WAVE is the intelligence layer inside every Oasis. It has two roles. First, it shapes the experience, controlling the water dance, jet height, lighting, and music that give each space its character, day and night, across every season. Second, it protects the system, monitoring water health and performance continuously and notifying the operator's team the moment attention is needed. This combination is what allows the Oasis to operate as a smart, low-maintenance product rather than a piece of static infrastructure.
What is the AERISIO Oasis? The AERISIO Oasis is a walkable cooling fountain, engineered as a modular product and installed above ground in days. It provides evaporative cooling and placemaking for public spaces, commercial and residential properties, and select private residences.
How long does installation take? The Oasis installs above ground in days, on any existing hard surface. Total lead time from design confirmation to activation can be a matter of weeks, depending on your configuration.
Does the Oasis require excavation or construction? No. The Oasis installs directly onto an existing hard surface and requires only three standard utility connections: electricity, water, and a drain. There is no excavation, no foundation work, and no construction downtime.
Is the water safe? Yes. The Oasis uses pool-grade water treatment with filtration, ultraviolet, and chlorine disinfection, alongside continuous automated water quality monitoring. The surface is non-slip and safe for children to play in, and the system is built with CE-certified products.
How much water and energy does it use? The Oasis recirculates more than 95% of its water in a closed loop, keeping consumption low. Energy use is modest, and the system is optimized for efficient operation.
Can it be installed across multiple locations? Yes. Every Oasis is designed for its specific location, and the same smart system scales from a single site to a full portfolio or an entire city, all managed together.
What happens if something needs maintenance? The AERISIO WAVE edge intelligence monitors each Oasis continuously and submits immediate notice when attention is needed, dispatching replacement parts automatically so upkeep is never left to guesswork.
Where is the AERISIO Oasis available? AERISIO is a Nordic company delivering the Oasis across Europe, with installations available across Europe. To explore an Oasis for a specific location, city, property, or residence, contact the AERISIO team.
