The present invention consists of a flexible pool fountain system that comprises modular segments that connect in a manner to form a conduit for the flow of water from the return inlet of a pools circulation system and in a direction to form a positional fountain feature. The connections are linked by male to female sockets that allow multi-axial positioning and the retention of shape until the system is repositioned. The flexible design permits the system of segments to be compact and have a minimal profile above and below the waterline. Within the system of conduit segments an inline sliding T-valve is used to enable the control of force at which the fountain is emitted onto the pools surface. The flexibility of the conduit segments also allows for the system to facilitate optimal positioning of a pools water return jet circulation flow. Three-way conduit segments, and the design of which they permit, allow for other embodiments to be connected that provide multiple points above the waterline that can be used to provide multiple fountain features.
