Default Water lily Q

I've read somewhere they don't like their pads splashed. No matter how I
arrange lily/fountain, I can't avoid splashing. What will it do to the
lily?


My experience mirrors others. Everything I've read says lilies like "still"
water - the average pond, even with a waterfall, is pretty "still" compared
to a stream. The only problem with splashing from a fountain is that
droplets on the pads act as little magnifying glasses and cause burns to
the leaves.
