Outdoor water features come in different shapes and sizes, one of which is a chic wall fountain. Such fountains make for a great addition to your yard even if it is small. Wall fountains make an understated impression, contrary to the big effect created by spouting fountains. In this straightforward process, water is ejected from a little spout, runs down a beautifully textured wall, before being recovered at the bottom and returned to the top once again.

Putting in a fountain with a motif depends completely on the layout of your garden. If your bungalow or garden is styled in a rustic manner, you should consider including a classic type of statue, such as a seraph holding the spout, to your fountain. Something special and striking could be an alternative for more modern gardens. Deciding what to do is totally in your hands.

Due to the fact that outdoor fountains can take up a lot of room, fit in a wall fountain or a pondless fountain if the space you have is limited. These types of fountains are perfect for an area with limited space because their reservoirs are concealed underground.

Serenity and well-being are a few of the key sensations imparted by Japanese fountains. The water moves through bamboo sticks in this kind of water feature. Water then flows into a container or a shaped stone, only to repeat the cycle over and over again.

Glass fountains make up a different group of fountain. Providing a more classical look are trellis-style fountains which feature shaped metalwork. Water features of this type are an excellent alternative for gardens with many sharp edges as well as contemporary forms and design. A wondrous effect is created when water streams down the sheets of glass. LED lighting fixtures are also used in some fountains to flash color across the water as it flows downward on the glass sheet. A rock waterfall fountain (often made of imitation rock) showcases water slowly flowing down its façade.

Bubbling rock fountains are big rocks drilled with holes which are then filled with tubes in the center. The gurgles and bubbles at the top are the result of the low pressure used to trigger the water upwards. Downward flowing water appears as soft trickle as it moves down the sides of the rock to go back to its base. Little gardens are perfect for this sort of fountain. To guarantee that water is not sprayed around if it starts to get windy, this kind of fountain is the best choice since it only uses low pressure to move water.

Keep Your Water Wall Fountain Clean

Every three-four months, garden fountains should undergo a decent cleaning. Before you can start washing it you should drain out all of the water. Then use a soft cloth and gentle cleanser to scrub the inside. If there are any tiny grooves, work with a toothbrush to get each and every spot. Do not leave any soap deposit inside or on the fountain.

Calcium and fresh water organisms can get inside the pump, so you should disassemble it to get it truly clean. Letting it soak in vinegar for a few hours first will make it much easier to clean. Build-up can be a big problem, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to prevent this dilemma.

One final tip for keeping your fountain in top working order is to check the water level every day and make sure it is full. If the water level drops below the pump’s intake level, it can damage the pump and cause it to burn out - something you don't want to happen!
