Your Fountain: Maintenance & Routine Service An important first step before installing any outdoor wall feature is to consider the room you have available.
A strong wall is absolutely needed to hold up its total weight. So areas or walls which are smaller will most probably require something light. You will need to have an electrical outlet in the vicinity of the fountain so it can be powered. Since there are many kinds of outdoor wall fountains, installation methods vary, however the majority include easy to follow instructions. The general outdoor wall feature is available in an easy-to-use kit that comes with everything you need and more to properly install it. A submersible pump, hoses and basin, or reservoir, are provided in the kit. The basin can typically be hidden away among your garden plants if it is not too big. Once installed, wall fountains typically only need to have some light maintenance and regular cleaning.
It is vital to replenish the water regularly so that it remains clean. Leaves, branches or dirt are examples of rubbish which should be cleared away quickly. Furthermore, outdoor fountains should always be shielded from freezing temperatures during the winter months. If left outdoors, your pump could break as a result of icy water, so bring it inside during the winter. All in all, an outdoor wall fountain can last for any number of years with the right upkeep and care.
