Fountain : help

I need to incorporate some small water jet type fountains into a video I am working on. Once upon a time I used to use Archvision RPCs but these are not an option with Octane (I guess). Any quick suggestions?
Should I be teaching myself how to use particles?
Any ready animated products anyone can suggest?

this test used the same engine so I assume it would work, try contacting them.
