Keeping Your Wall fountain Tidy

Every 3-4 months, garden fountains should undergo a good cleaning. To start with you must drain the water. Then use a soft cloth and mild cleanser to scrub the inside. A useful tip is to use a toothbrush if there are little hard-to-reach spots. Any soap residue left on your fountain can harm it, so be sure it is all rinsed off.

Make sure you get rid of any calcium or plankton by taking the pump apart and scrubbing the inside carefully. Soaking it in vinegar for a while will make it easier to scrub. Build-up can be a big hassle, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to prevent this dilemma.

And finally, make sure the water level is always full in order to keep your fountain running optimally. Permitting the water level to get too low can cause damage to the pump - and you certainly do not want that!

Contemporary Garden Decor: Large Outdoor Water Fountains and their Beginnings

Pure functionality was the original purpose of fountains. People in cities, towns and villages received their drinking water, as well as water to bathe and wash, via aqueducts or springs nearby. Up to the late nineteenth century, water fountains had to be near an aqueduct or reservoir and more elevated than the fountain so that gravity could make the water flow down or jet high into the air. Artists thought of fountains as amazing additions to a living space, however, the fountains also served to supply clean water and celebrate the artist responsible for creating it. Bronze or stone masks of wildlife and heroes were commonly seen on Roman fountains. Muslims and Moorish garden designers of the Middle Ages included fountains to re-create smaller versions of the gardens of paradise. King Louis XIV of France wanted to demonstrate his superiority over nature by including fountains in the Gardens of Versailles. The Romans of the 17th and 18th centuries manufactured baroque decorative fountains to glorify the Popes who commissioned them as well as to mark the spot where the restored Roman aqueducts entered the city.

Indoor plumbing became the main source of water by the end of the 19th century thereby restricting urban fountains to mere decorative elements. Fountains using mechanical pumps instead of gravity enabled fountains to provide recycled water into living spaces as well as create unique water effects.

These days, fountains adorn public spaces and are used to pay tribute to individuals or events and fill recreational and entertainment needs.
